Quality Grades for Embryos
Grade 1, 4 cell. I didn't know what to make out of it when they told me about it. They said it was beautiful and highest quality but I guess like everyone else I needed more proof. Haha. And to better understand the grading for the embryos:

Grade 1: Fully expanded, very thin zona, and distinct inner cell mass and trophectoderm
Grade 2: Fully expanded, very thin zona and distinct inner cell mass. Clear or disproportionate areas in trophectopderm
Grade 3: A single cavity occupying most of the volume of the embryo, thinning zona and distinct inner cell mass and trophectoderm. (Early Blastocyst)
Grade 4: Hatched blastocyst.
Grade 5: Expanded blastocoel, poor or no inner cell mass. Poor trophectoderm.
Grade 6: Morula.
