Welcome to another episode of The Fertility Podcast bitesize, with The Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health (CRGH) in this snippet, we’re going to be hearing from Xavier Brunetti, Deputy Head of Embryology to explain more about how embryos are graded. All too often there are conversations online within Facebook groups or forums about what the different gradings mean and it can cause all sorts of stress and unease for patients. We are all so different and every clinic is different, so Dr. Google is not your friend when you are at this stage of your fertility treatment. So have a listen to Xavi explain more about what the embryologist is looking for and what happens in the lab. We discuss: <ul><li>Day 1 - Day 3 and then Day 4 to Day 5 or 6</li><li>Symmetry, fragmentation, can they see the nuclei</li><li>How synchronized cell divisions are </li><li>How Blastocysts grow </li><li>What that means for the grading</li><li>How the lab keeps in touch with you - the patient </li><li>How to manage patients' expectations of egg collection </li></ul> Find out more about <a href="https://crgh.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CRGH here</a> Follow<a href="https://www.instagram.com/crgh_uk/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> CRGH on Instagram </a>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fertilitypoddy/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fertility Podcast on Instagram </a>
