This embryo is severely fragmented and has unevenly sized cells

It is a poor quality day 3 embryo

This embryo probably does not have much chance to implant and make a viable pregnancy

embrio grading

This 5-cell embryo is moderately fragmented and has unevenly sized (irregular) cells

This embryo is expected to have a significantly lower chance of implanting because it is somewhat "slow" (more than 5 cells is preferred on day 3) and because of the significant fragmentation and irregularity of the cells

What Is A High Quality Embryo Means?

Embryo picture of a "perfect" looking 8-cell embryo (day 3 embryo)

There is no embryo fragmentation and the cells are very even, regular, and similarly sized

We call this is a "high quality" day 3 embryo

Embryo grading: 8 cell, grade 4
