Hi everyone. I only have one euploid after a verrrry long journey. It is a day 6, 5AB... BUT the iDAscore / embryoscope score is 3.8. This makes me very worried. Did anyone have success with an embryo with a low iDAscore? Thanks so much
How safe is shipping a euploid frozen blast overseas? What should I look at in a receiving lab, technology-wise or skills-wise, to ensure it's unloaded, stored and thawed correctly? It's my only one but I am needing to do surrogacy overseas.

I have 8 frozen 2PN day-one embryos that I want to ship to a different clinic to thaw. I have the following questions:
Thanks
Hello. Long story short, after many, MANY cycles, I was only about to make one single euploid. (I have POI - premature ovarian insufficiency.) My euploid pictured was an early blast in the AM of day 5, and finished day 5 as a 4AC. The morning of day 6, it hatched and was upgraded to a 5AB.
When I saw the grade 5AB, I felt pretty good! But when I spoke to the embryologist, she said it was a fair embryo that had maybe only a 30% chance because the TE wasn't super robust, but also that it's subjective.
I was left feeling confused. Is it somehow more a C? Are they maybe basing that lower chance on the fact it improved from C, rather than being a B from the start?
The images are taken from the embryoscope and not very good sorry - the embryo was out of frame when hatching.

Hi all. I don't usually post but I feel overwhelmed and stuck so thought I'd put this out there to make sure I'm not actually going insane.
Basically, like the title says, I have ONE euploid. There's no chance of getting any more as I'm now mid-40s, and I have an amh of zero. Yep, actually zero. The fact I got this one was a total miracle. It took me 15 cycles to get.
Unfortunately, I was recently diagnosed with adenomyosis. I can't really get a grip on its stage - my MRI said I *may* have mild adenomyosis. The scans show it more clearly. The fertility doctors I speak to aren't concerned at all. The gynae surgeon I spoke to (about something unrelated) was very pessimistic, said I have only 20% chance of this working vs putting it into a younger, pathology-free uterus.
Which brings me to my next thought: am I mad to risk putting this single, precious embryo into a uterus that isn't perfect? Should I ship it to a surrogate instead, which in itself I guess has its own risks? Including the cost, which is just doable (I won't use a surrogate in the US).
I have one son conceived without assistance 8 years ago. I had a c-section with him, which is known to be one of the causes of adeno. So I don't know if I already had it back then.
Overall, I feel somehow both flat and agitated with indecision and anxiety. Of course, either way could fail, and I'll never know why. But I'm terrified of making the wrong choice and regretting it for the rest of my life. I want a sibling for my son so, so much it hurts.
