How to Evaluate Embryo Quality Before Mexico Surrogacy | POWER IVF

For many intended parents, egg freezing or embryo cryopreservation is a key step to preserving future fertility. However, most people know little about their “seeds of life.” They may only know that they have frozen eggs or embryos, but have little understanding of their quality. It’s not until they move forward with surrogacy or IVF that they realize quality issues may bring serious challenges. So, how can you evaluate whether your frozen eggs or embryos have the potential for success?

Why Is Embryo Quality Assessment So Important?

Based on our experience, if the survival rate of frozen eggs or embryos is below 70%, the success rate of subsequent IVF or surrogacy cycles drops significantly.

1. Key Data From the Ovarian Stimulation Process

The evaluation of egg quality begins with a review of the ovarian stimulation cycle, including:

 Ovarian response: How did the ovaries respond to stimulation medication?

 Follicle count and size: How many mature follicles developed, and were their sizes consistent?

 Hormone levels: Were hormone levels stable during stimulation?

 Timing and schedule: Was the ovulation trigger administered on time and in line with the treatment plan?

These data points reflect the health of the eggs during development and serve as important references for later quality assessment.

2. In-Depth Analysis of Embryology Reports

Embryo quality requires detailed interpretation of laboratory reports. A complete embryology report should include the following:

 Fertilization rate: How many eggs were successfully fertilized?

 Embryo development speed: Did embryos divide at a standard pace?

 Embryo grading: How were embryos classified based on morphology?

 Blastocyst formation rate: How many embryos developed to the blastocyst stage?

 Freezing and thawing survival rate: A critical indicator that reflects laboratory cryopreservation techniques.

Only through a comprehensive review of these data can embryo quality be accurately assessed.

How to Avoid Potential Problems?

Many people only discover issues with their frozen eggs when they are ready for surrogacy. To avoid this, we recommend intended parents choose a medical institution with reliable technology and processes from the very beginning. A professional clinic will not only ensure advanced laboratory standards but also provide detailed medical reports, giving you a clear picture of your frozen material.
