Blastocyst grading

3 replies

So, I've got 5 blastocysts in the deep freeze.
Four are 5 day blastocysts graded 3B-B-, 2B-C, 2B-C and 2-3B+B- and ones a day six graded 4B-B+.

I realise these are not good gradings, but I don't really understand just how bad they are....I'm got one DD, but I'm keen on eeking out another two dcs from my remaining blastocysts. It's obviously possible, but how realistic is this?

The BBs are all decent grades. Depending on who did the grading some embryologists grade stricter than others so they could be closer to AAs then you think.

One of my twins (likely DD) is a Day 6 4bb x

My DC was a 4BB. Good luck ☺️

Try not to worry too much about the grading, I think it can be misleading. People have top quality AA embryos put back in which result in a negative outcome and others have seemingly lower grades which work. It's a lottery and not one you can control. Our only viable embryo after a fresh cycle wasn't even good enough to be classed as a blast but they thought it was worth a punt. I'm 15 weeks now 🤷‍♀️ what will be will be unfortunately. Good luck.
