Embryo Grading in IVF - A Clinical Conversation w/ Dr. Greene (Ep. 77)


Listen Later

When it comes to embryo grading, there's a lot of confusion and outdated practices that could be standing in the way of your fertility journey. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or misled by the grading systems used by clinics, this episode is for you. Today, we’re breaking down the complexities of embryo grading with Dr. Greene, uncovering what these grades really mean and how they impact your chances of success.

Are you putting too much weight on embryo grades without understanding what they really represent?

Embryo grading can be a critical part of the IVF process, but many people are in the dark about its true significance. While it’s tempting to fixate on getting a perfect "AA" grade, the reality is that grading is just one piece of the puzzle. Misunderstanding or overvaluing these grades can lead to unnecessary stress and potentially misguided decisions.

 The truth about embryo grading is more complex than you think.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:

 👉The real purpose of embryo grading and why it’s not the be-all and end-all of your IVF journey.

👉How the Gardner Classification, a system over 20 years old, is still in use today and what that means for you.

👉The difference between grading and genetic testing, and why the latter is often more critical.

👉Why not all "AA" embryos are created equal, and how to interpret your results with the help of your clinic.

 Note: This conversation with Dr. Greene took place in August 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. We're resharing it now to provide you with insights that may still be relevant to your fertility journey. Keep in mind that these are Dr. Greene's personal opinions from that date, and the landscape of fertility treatments is always evolving.

 Don’t let confusion or outdated practices dictate your fertility journey. By understanding the ins and outs of embryo grading, you can make more informed decisions that align with your unique circumstances.
