Which Embryo to Transfer?

Day 5 embryo transfer
Blastocysts are often considered a better option than an earlier stage embryo because they have a higher chance of being genetically normal, implanting and leading to a live birth than the Day 3 embryo.

How do they choose which embryo to transfer?

Genetic testing can tell our team which embryos are female and which are male. As many intended parents end up with numerous healthy embryos, they are often faced with deciding which gender to select. If a patient is making this decision with a partner, it is important for the couple to reach a conclusion together.

What is the best grade embryo to transfer?

Typically an 8A on D3 is the best grade. These embryos show that there are 6-8 evenly sized cells, with no or less than 10% fragmentation. These embryos have more uneven or irregularly shaped cells with 25-50% fragmentation.
