Pregnant after IF

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

Re: IVF ladies: embryo grades

  • 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 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!
  • 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.
