How are embryos graded?

I had never heard of embryo grading until the other day. What is embryo grading and how are the embryos graded?

Answers from doctors (1)


The embryologist grades the embryos based on a number of factors he/she sees under the microscope. Some of these are cell symmetry, cellular architecture, fragmentation, etc.
