anyone get pregnant with a 3CB blast?

[Anonymous]

i am about to do a FET with a 3CB blast. That grade doesn't seem great to me, but it's CGH normal. Any thoughts?

My understanding is that those "grades" don't mean anything as they're just based on a visual inspection and tell you nothing about the potential health of the embryo, so I wouldn't worry about it! We did PGS testing on our frozen embryos after I had a miscarriage and my doctor said she never would've pegged the one that came back as normal to be the healthy one as it was the worst-looking of the bunch. I don't even know why they still give them those grades, tbh. Good luck with the transfer and I hope you get a BFP!

did your PGS normal one give you a BFP, even with the bad grade?

[Anonymous]

My RE or clinic did not even tell me the grades of our embryos. Probably for precisely this reason.

none of the grading matters once its pgs normal. would you rather have a beautiful blast that's not normal or a crappy looking one that is?

[Anonymous]

Your RE should be able to predict your likelihood of success - at least mine did
I would ask

I never got the grades, but am 23 wks with a very poor looking day 6 blast. We had two very poor day 6 blasts transferred (fresh cycle, all we had that made it) and all our genetic tests and scans are good. We had a previous failed cycle with a genetically normal perfect looking day 5 blast, so you never know.

Was your poor looking day 6 blast genetically normal? One cycle they were tested and one they weren't?

My 6 year old was a crappy, fractured and slow growing morula (by day 6 the embryo still hadn't reached blast stage but all the rest had died so we put it back).

So do the grades not matter when it's CGH normal

[Anonymous]

I think they may help your RE choose among your PGD normals
But they matter less

[Anonymous]

Yeah just to help select among the PGs normals. I had a failure with my higher graded normal than my not so well graded normal.

[Anonymous]

Pp here- I mean success with the one graded notnso well. Failure with the high grade normal.

[Anonymous]

pp: you transferred two normal CGH blasts and one worked and one didn't? Which grades were they

[Anonymous]

I transferred 2 PGs normal, in two different cycles. The first was a 4AA that thawed 95% and the second was 4BA that thawed 85%. Second one took, currently 34!weeks
