Patient's question:
Doctor, my partner and I have been married for many years without having children. We are undergoing IVF, and today the hospital said we have 8c embryos. What does an 8c embryo mean?Doctor's answer:
Hello, IVF refers to In Vitro Fertilization, while ICSI refers to the second-generation test-tube baby: Micromanipulation, which means your partner's semen quality is poor and cannot fertilize naturally. Instead, a doctor needs to use a specialized fine needle under a microscope to select normal sperm and inject it into the egg to complete the fertilization process. 8C2X3 means the embryo you transferred is an 8-cell embryo, grade 2, on the third day.
