[quote=Anonymous]"I do recall my RE once saying that poor quality blasts don't make poor quality babies, they make no babies." SOOoooooo not true. The whole grading thing is BS. My friends who tested, without exception, their normal blasts were NOT the best-looking ones. And more than once, they were the poor-looking ones. I wish clinics would admit that you really can't tell by looking, and would freeze more blasts. I think it's a crime to throw away the embryos of especially an older woman--you never know by looking at them which would have been the one to take. Then again, for most older women, their embryos get transferred fresh anyway. One reason I went to GW was because they freeze everything that is still alive--so every one of my mature eggs had a chance to be transferred, and grow inside me where it's meant to. I don't believe that the lab is the right test--and certainly no lab technician can predict viability with any accuracy. Both the labs with which I discussed genetic testing, Blastogen and Natera, confirmed this--the beauty contest at the lab means nothing. [/quote]
