Pregnant after IF

Question from an IVF Vet

Hi Girls!

Quick question for you...

 We are struggling with a million issues, but our main problem seems to be embryo quality. Our embryos are usually graded very poorly. My question is what was your embryo grade that got you pregnant? 6AA, 5BB etc.  

 Thanks and wishing you all a happy, healthy pregnancy!!

  • Not sure of the grades for our fresh 3dt, which resulted in a m/c, but for our FET we transferred a 3AB and a 4AB on a 5dt and both stuck.  I know lots of people who have gotten lucky with less than stellar embies.  Best of luck.

  • We had embryo quality issues also, as well as fertilization issues.  I'm not sure what the grades were for IVF #3 that resulted in this pregnancy although I know the overall quality was better for that cycle than the previous two.  We changed protocols from long lupron to antagonist for that cycle.

    GL and PPVs!  Hope to see you here with a sticky baby really soon.
