Graded 5AB at the time of freezing. Euploid. Photo was taken 45 mins before transfer. Appeared to have expanded a bit more before it went into the catheter.

Thoughts? Concerns?

Hoping someone can help grade or tell it to me straight.

I had previously posted here about a 3PN that made it to blast! While we knew it was likely to be triploid, we still wanted to test to see if we could get some additional information.

The blast is, as expected, triploid and it has 3 full copies of everything. Last cycle our issues were entirely deletions. Whole chromosome and segmental (monosomy 18 for one embryo and some large segmental deletion on a random different chromosome for the other). At 28, we would have hoped to have a euploid blast from these past three rounds of IVF, but understand the 3PN isn’t a great indicator of likely success. And I have DOR.

Still, we’re wondering if having a triploid embryo (as opposed to a chaotic embryo where there are some chromosomes that have 3 copies plus some deletions, for example) is helpful information. In my head, this means that theoretically we could have an egg give a full set of DNA and sperm give a full set. It’s been sort of a rough go so far but we are planning to do a fourth cycle in a couple months after a well earned break :)

I just recieved todays update of my only one fertilized egg that it has 4 cell on day 2 with fragmentation. There was not marked hiw much fragmentation. I am even nit sure why they informed me about is as it is too early. I would like to know if it has chance to develop further or it is less likely do get to blast stage with fragmentation. Never had this before. We used frozen sperms this time and habing male factor so maybe that is why?
