Questions to ask your embryologist

IVF is a series of checkpoints, not one number

Retrieved → mature → fertilized → embryo → blastocyst → chromosomally capable → implants → baby. Maturity and 2PN are only the first two or three steps, and neither tells you whether an embryo is chromosomally normal.
