is anyone able to share their experience with how virtus grade their embryo and if it led to successful implantation? I switched lab to Virtus for my new cycle this year and am dealing with their grading for the first time. They told me over the phone I have 2 Good, 3 Above Average and 1 Average blastocyst. Not sure if they are strict or relaxed with the grading?

In my previous lab - 5AB was successful and 4AB, 4BB and 4BC all failed.

Would say do not care too much on grading..generally so long as those are suitable for transfer, they have a chance of implantation.

My 2+ year old girl came from a C grading (KKH) embryo.

Have faith!

can anyone advise whats the price for a FET? how much cash to come out wit

can anyone advise whats the price for a FET? how much cash to come out with ?

I did FET at KKH.. so far did 4 FET, didn’t have to fork out any cash. You might want to check with the institution that you will be doing FET with for the subsidies, they should be able to advise you on that

Hi! I did my IVF at KKH, the grading they gave was only A, B, C or D.. I have tried frozen embryo transfer with grade A, B and C blastocysts before.. and guess what? The one that resulted in my baby was a grade C blastocyst. Like what my Doctor believed, she said every blastocyst stands a chance, irregardless of its grading. All the best to you!

Hi Nellybeans,

Thanks for sharing this piece of good news! I just transferred a good 5AB blastocyst but failed. Left with a 6BC, I was doubtful of the chances.

Is there anything that was done differently with the success cycle?

My doctor did an endometrial scratch procedure for me in the cycle prior to the embryo transfer. You can google ‘endo scratch’ to get a detailed explaination. There is actually no scientific proof that it works; I guess the doctor ordered the procedure for me anyway since I had failed cycles with better quality embryos.

Also, I found out I was Vitamin D deficient. So I added Vitamin D supplements months prior to the transfer. I read somewhere that vitamin D deficiency could affect the outcome also.

Good luck and all the best to you!

Actually having that said, I think ultimately it really depends on whether the embryo can implant and survive or not.

During the success cycle, 2 blastocysts (same grade) were transferred, but only 1 managed to implant. So I think is really by luck

True… I’m one who has done more than 20 transfers over the years with only 1 success. It’s really all about luck. The success cycle was a 5AA and my lining then was one of the worst. So I’m not sure what’s the success factor too. The latest cycle was also a grade A with very good lining but couldn’t make it.

Jiayou and try not to put too much stress on yourself for the next transfer. You are already doing your best.

I am currently on Norestisterone (progesterone) for three weeks before my stimulation cycle. Does anyone know after I stop eating, how many days will it take for my period to come?
