[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad your clinic is at least considering CC graded embryos. For my last cycle I had 3 blasts, AA, BA, and CC. My clinic discarded the CC automatically and told me the CC won't even make it through the freeze/thaw so their protocol is to discard CC blasts. I've always heard grading is just a beauty contest, a lot of variability depending on the specific embryologist, so it sucks my clinic cares so much about the grading.

FWIW - My BA blast ended up being euploid, AA aneuploid. Throughout all my cycles, I've also had a BB that was aneuploid, AC that was euploid. I just ended my cycle with another euploid blast, this time it was graded AB.[/quote]
The clinic gets more money the more embryos they trash, also hold hands a little less with miscarriages and D+Cs.

I didn't know this about clinics before hand, but some of them do trash ugly embryos without asking. Others will not transfer a mosaic.

PGS testing actually lowers take-home baby rate. Think about it, how could it raise the take-home baby rate? It's not like it's fixing bad embryos[/quote]
I agree with this. After many, may rounds of IVF I realized that the attrition rate was too high. They discard embryos that don’t look beautiful because there have been studies in the past that highly graded embryos tend to stick. I think the  clinics are closely monitoring their stats and if only transferring beautiful embryos marginally improves their stats they will go with that- to the detriment of us who just want every chance possible [/quote]

You don’t see an ethical dilemma for clinics to transfer embryos that have a much higher rate of miscarriage, still birth, and, often, at best, death before 5 years old?  These aren’t profit motivated decisions.  Clinics aren’t just sapping you for all the money you have until you make the “perfect” embryo.[/quote]
