    Hi stickybean, i presume the embryoscope is where they closely monitor the embryos as they grow? Different clinics use different techniques, with lots of different names, for this, so this is what i presume it is. I've never used any of these, but i think usually it is used to help pick out the best embryos. In my case, i always have so few, so it would be of limited use to me.

    For me, the decision would probably depend on how many embryos you get. If you have a decent number, it might be helpful in selecting the best one or two for transfer. If you have a limited number and are going to blast, the weaker ones will likely drop out anyway at this stage, leaving the best 1 or 2 as the only remaining blasts. In this case, i'm not sure that using the embryoscope would give much extra information. Maybe someone else who has used it would be better able to advise.

    Best of luck either way!
