The question
other Hi Dr. Sher,
I have two embryos frozen on day 3 (not day 5 for some reason). . One embryo is 8 cell grade 1 and the other is 10 cell grade 1. Are these good quality embryos? What are my chances of getting pregnant? I am in my mid 40s.
Thank you,
Sherry
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
This is very much dependent on your age and the clinical underlying circumstances. While ordinarily anything better than a 5c day-3 embryo are positive feature3s, there are many other considerations. If you wanted better comfort, I would suggest these 2 embryos be thawed, carried to blastocyst and biopsied for PGT by no later than day 6. This would not in my opinion, prejudice the embryos.
