Success calculator?

Hi, is there a success calculator where you can put in your frozen embryo grading, age at collection, age at transfer etc etc to get a prediction of likely success? Do success rates change if you’ve had a previous live birth from the same egg collection?

We have 1 x C grade blast in the freezer and looking to understand likely success rates if we transferred (clinic have said they can’t have a success rate as it depends on a lot of different factors)

Appreciate there are general IVF calculators but looking at rates for the embryo that exists, rather than going through an egg collection again.

I had a chemical with a high grade embryo and currently 13 weeks with an embryo with a moderate grade embryo so I think it is a little subjective. I have found ChatGPT useful for putting in information and giving an overview for my journey so far x

Agree, I have put everything into chat gpt and it has been really useful.

Our clinic are pretty good with giving us standard percentages etc but it’s hard to know unless they’ve been tested.

we have had a live birth from a “very good” embryo and have transferred a few “very good” embryos and they all ended up in chemical pregnancies or miscarriages so I think it’s really hard to know what the outcome might be unless they’ve been genetically tested.

are you considering a FET or doing another round?

Congratulations! I’ve also had a chemical with a 5AA embryo. My succession pregnancies have been with B grades. Oh interesting to use chat GPT! I’ll take a look at that

Definitely will have a play with chat GPT though I’m still getting the hang of AI stuff

@2mumlife thank you. Yea find it so useful. Also, Emma the embryologist on instagram is really great and she talks a lot about how grading is super subjective. She is so useful to follow and actually does respond if you reach out to her too plus does a lot of Q&As and webinars.

Yeah this is an untested embryo. It would be a medicated FET if we did the transfer. At a place now that I really don’t think we’d go down the rodeo of doing any more egg collections. We are very fortunate to be successful before, and this would be more about giving our final embryo a chance, rather than destroying it. Just trying to manage expectations a bit really.

Thanks. I don’t use insta but will see if she’s on other channels. Wondering if having a live birth from the same egg collection means it’s odds are better, or that we’ve had our luck now if that makes sense

@2mumlifeI have spoken to several folks recently who collected 2 or 3 embryos and they had 2 successful pregnancies from that cycle. I think it will be down to egg quality and at what age the eggs were collected

Chat GPT is actually blowing my mind a bit, thank you for that recommendation!

We’re actually in that situation you described. We had 3 embryos frozen from that cycle (freeze all cycle) and we’ve been very fortunate to have 2 successful singleton births from that cycle. Interestingly chat GPT increased odds from 5-15% to 20-30% based on age and previous births. Our embryo storage fee needs paid again soon so been discussing options a bit

@2mumlife I think you should go for it. You don’t want regret. It’s actually better than some doctors are at explaining things lol.

2mumlife · 11/08/2025 20:25

@confused2025 Thanks. It actually seems like it has better odds than I was thinking. Balancing a bit of a fine line, as having to obviously look at what life would be like if it worked, but I don’t want to get sucked too far into thinking about it in case it doesn’t. As I said to a friend, that embryo either is or isn’t viable, and we only know by giving it a go really
