FET Embryo Grade

[AFat]

I am gearing up for a FET in four weeks. My embroys are two grade C's (my last two). What are the odds of live birth pregnancy from this grade of embryo?

Embryo grade affects probability of implantation but not the way your pregnancy is going to turn out.  We also had low grade embryos but one of them implanted and we have a healthy baby girl.

Good luck!

I had nearly perfect embryos and it did not take. There are 2 women on here that I know of that had lower grade embryos and they have twins. Many have singletons. Personally, I think too much emphysis is put on grade. I would have rather had them transfer 4 grade b or c than 1 or 2 grade a. Sometimes, the grade is lower just because the growth is a little behind. Many times it can catch up. If the grade was given for other reasons, things are different.

Thank you so much! My DH and I were so hoping that this time around we would feel more relaxed. Our first cycle of IVF from 2 grade A's resulted in trips with a singleton live birth - one healthy baby boy!

We are ready for more children. It is really comforting to hear other women's stories from lower grade embies.
