Reverse cleavage grade A embryo
LJM
Regular
Hi all
I had a 5 day blastocyst transfer yesterday - this is my second round (4 trf) of IVF, the first (1 fresh and 2 frozen) was unsuccessful, with one miscarriage.
the embryo transferred was a grade A - by far the best quality we have had, but the embryologist did say that I should be aware that during development the embryo did something ‘funny’. It went from 3 cells, to 4, back to 3 before reaching 4 again and developing well from there - this is apparently called ‘reverse cleavage’. Has anyone heard of / experienced this?

I’d be grateful for any information - can’t find much online.
