IVF ladies: embryo grades

Do you know the grades of the embryos that were transfered/resulted in BFP?  I know there's more to it than just this, but am interested if you are willing to share.  TIA!
TTK 9/06 / TTC 10/08 / Twins 12/11 / Life Blog
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first

Thankful for every day

    Transferred two grade II blasts and one grade II morula. We decided to transfer the third one because they were not sure if it would make it to freeze and I did not have any other frosties. The other two embies I had were crap quality.

    I go in for my 1st u/s on Monday. But for with this BFP I had a 3dt of 2 grade 2 embryos. One was a 7 cell and the other an 8 cell.

    I also had 6 embryos that made it to blast stage that were grade 3, but my clinic doesn't freeze anything that is lower than a grade 2.

    I had 1 8 cell grade 1 embryo, and they did assisted hatching and a day 3 transfer for this pregnancy.  Previously, I had a 2 cell, and a 3 cell, both grade 1, transfered on a day 2 transfer w/o assisted hatching, and that resulted in a BFN.   My clinic does not do 5 day transfers.  Hope this helps!
    TTC Child #1 Sept '08, Dx: Unexplained, DOR 2 IUI's = BFN, m/c, IVF 1 = 0 embies to put back, IVF 2 = BFN, IVF 3 = cancelled, IVF 4 = BFP with 1 embie. Our son came into our life on 9/28/11. We are in love! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    I don't know what grade they were, but we transferred 2 morulas (not even blastocysts yet) on day 5.  They were definitely the best I ever produced - quality-wise.

    We transferred two "beautiful" blasts. I'm not sure what they were graded the day of transfer, but the day before they were grade 1s.

    All I got this time was 2 "perfect" blasts.  I actually didn't want to know, since I knew all the other times and then I would obsess.

    Good luck with your next cycle!

    I did a 3 day transfer with 2 grade 2 embryos.  They were 6 cells each I believe.  One of them stuck.

    We transferred 2 8 cell grade A embies.  The highest grade my RE gives them.  One stuck, one didn't

    We transferred one grade A blast and we have one frozen grade A blast. It not only stuck but divided!

    In my first IVF I had 6 embies that made it to day 5. 5 morulas and 1 blast, they froze the blast and did CGH on all 6.  All six were chromosomally abnormal - with multiple missing and extra chromsomes.  Just b/c you get a good grade doesn't mean you've got a quality embie.

    No grade given from our RE, but we did a 5dt of a single embryo which he said was just shy of blast stage (in a few hours it would have been considered a blast).

    Good luck with your cycle.

    We transferred what our embryologist referred to as 2 - 8 cell B grade embryos. We are pregnant with just 1!
  • Options
    I don't remember but I think they were 2 8 cell transferred on day 3, we transferred a 5AA blast for our FET and got a BFP.
