embryo grading

Embryo grading is a way scientists assess the quality of an early-stage embryo, usually during in-vitro fertilization (IVF). It looks at factors like the number and appearance of cells, symmetry, and the development stage to predict the embryo’s potential to grow into a healthy baby. Grades typically range from good to poor, helping doctors select the best embryos for transfer. This assessment helps optimize the chances of successful pregnancy while minimizing risks.
