Yes. PGD was the reason we did IVF. I have a 4-year old daughter and then I had my son almost 2 years ago - he was stillborn right before his due date. He was perfect and genetically normal, and his death is unexplained. They think it might have been from cord compression. I'll never know... But after we decided to TTC again, I've had a bunch of miscarriages which were random genetic abnormalities. So hopefully this works... It's been one hell of a nightmare!
The grading doesn't mean much. It's about how the embryo looks. You get good-looking embryos that are abnormal and then bad-looking embryos that are normal and stick. So you can choose randomly now or choose sex or however you want cos you have so many normal ?
If they have hit blastocyst at day 5 or 6 they should be good. If on day ) they don't seem to be dividing properly, slowing down or stopping them they won't freeze those ones.

Awesome! Good luck!!! I had 20 fertilized, 12 make it to day-5 blast and 7 come back genetically normal...
What does the grade mean? Mine were graded with one number and 2 letters.

Grade A and Grade 1 = Good
Grade b and grade 2= Fair
Grade c and grade 3= poor
Normal embryo development is between 6-10 cells
This is per my provider
