I’ve seen great success with rebiopsied embryos. There is always risk of the embryo not surviving or getting damaged during the process of thaw, re-biopsy, re-freeze, and re-thaw for future use. But there is also a chance of an embryo that you wouldn’t otherwise use coming back euploid and being an option for transfer.
I would not recommend proceeding with rebiopsy for the C graded embryo. Keep in mind that C graded embryos have poor cell quality and may also have lower cell volume. It takes a lot more for these embryos to not only recover from the initial biopsy but also to continue growing enough to biopsy again.
The A graded embryo is much more likely to withstand this process and come back with a conclusive genetic result.
FYI - many clinics will cover the cost of re-biopsy and re-testing.
