I have a question about embryo quality and outcome of pregnancy. I just had my embryo transfer yesterday in my 3 IVF attempt. Quick background: me (32) dh (37) diagnosed with borderline ovarian reserve, 2 failed IUI cycles, 1st IVF failed, 2nd IVF positive but ended up in D&C at 7 weeks.
This is my 3rd attempt and we transfered 3 embryos. In my last cycle we transfered 2, one was a HIP (high implantation potential) and the 2nd was an 8 cell with medium fragmentation. So this cycle out of 8 eggs retrieved 4 fertilized and what we transfered was a 8-2, 5-2, and 4-2 (the 4th was was a 1-3). My dr. office does the grading by cell number-level of fragmentation (from 1-3 - 3 being the best). I have to say I was pretty disappointed. I was told these are middle of the road embryos, that they are viable, and they have seen pregnancies with these types. So, my question is should I really be concerned? Have you ladies out there achieved a pregnancy with "middle of the road" embryos?
Embryo Quality and Pregnancy
Re: Embryo Quality and Pregnancy
Most transfers are "middle of the road" embryos. Your chances still sound ok, just a little lower than if the embryos were ideal. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with the qualities of the child(ren) that may result.peonies10 wrote:I have a question about embryo quality and outcome of pregnancy.

Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
Re: Embryo Quality and Pregnancy
Thank you for your reply ghost. My pregnancy test is next Thursday so I think I'm just going to remain hopeful until then!
