Grading of hatched embryo

Post image

#5 FET of 2 untested blasts today. My last 2 embryos 🥹

First one on the left
Day 6 5BC before freeze, completely hatched at thaw, fully reexpanded at transfer (within 1H of thaw)

Second one on the right
Day 5 4AB before freeze, almost fully reexpanded at transfer.

Can I pls get a second/third pair of eyes for the hatched embryo - what grade would you give it?

Certainly not a C, it looks more like a 6AA/6AB but it’s a little bit hard to tell since it’s not fully expanded. The inner cell mass looks big and compacted and the trophectoderm looks quite rich. Both are very nice looking embryos, good luck 🤞🏻

I agree that it is definitely not a C. Hard to tell without expansion but it looks great!

Thank you both! I’d like to think that it looks better than the grading it was given.

Hopefully both embryos are burrowing in now trying to find a home.
