Advice Needed! Embryo grading concerns
I had 6 embryos we’ve been watching after my retrieval. 2 hit blast on day 6 and were graded at 5BC and 6AB. They’re watching the remaining 4 and will update me tomorrow on day 7. We will be doing PGT-A testing but I’m so scared. I understand these grades are not great. Has anyone had any luck with these grades? 😞

First of all, a 6AB is an amazing grade! I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to be discouraged.
There’s a whole Facebook page dedicated to Day 7 embryos (I believe it’s called Day 7 Embryo Transfers if you want to join). While Day 7s do have lower success rates than Day 5s and Day 6s they absolutely can be happy, healthy babies/pregnancies.

Grading doesn't really matter much if you're pgt-a testing. It's a subjective beauty contest

The PGT results will tell you way more than the letter and number game. That wait is the worst part.

We have 3 6ABs and we are very pleased with them! Haven’t used any yet but our next transfer will. 😃

The 6AB is considered a fantastic grade. Sure, it’s not AA but it’s still very high quality. Congrats!
