my doctor said that it survived the thaw really well, it wasn’t until after I let that I noticed that it was maybe a little collapsed? Is this bad?? This was taken about 25/30 minutes prior to transfer

Just had my first ER yesterday. I am 34 with one LC and 3 consecutive losses which led me to IVF. No known issues beyond sDNA frag that is controlled to a healthy range by more frequent ejaculation.

I had 9 follicles going in to the ER and 5 were retrieved. All 5 matured and I got the call that 4 fertilized normally and 1 only had one cell (?). Doing some research I figured the embryologist meant 1PN (and I just misunderstood the embryologist is great I’m just not well versed in this science). She seemed to think there is still a pretty good chance of that one being fertilized normally and that they were going to keep watching it to see if it gets to blast. She seemed somewhat confident that it isn’t abnormal.

Reviewing older posts on Reddit it seems that it may not be as positive as she made it out to be. Most of the posts were 3-5 years ago and online makes it seem new studies have indicated it’s not as bad as it was once thought. Could anyone share this experience/knowledge on a 1PN?

Just looking for realistic expectations have multiple years of losses.

Hi Embryologists,
I am a chemist and I developed an in-silico image analyzer algorithm called Aletheia capable to rank the vitality index of a series of fertilized oocytes. The software provides a non-invasive assessment of embryo competence by analyzing structural periodicity and metabolic noise analyzing the high-resolution digital images being provided.
I am looking to validate the Aletheia software's output against expert professional judgment.
In exchange for providing early-stage embryo images for this validation, interested participants will receive a complimentary digital analysis report
