Last embryo - grade C - worth testing?

I just wondered if anyone had any experience similar...

We have MFI, low everything with high DNA fragmentation.

We had 4 embryos in the freezer following the birth of our daughter. I now think we were extremely lucky she is with us as we have since had 3 failed FET's during 2023.
The first completely failed to implant and the next two we had a biochemical. Those were all graded A, A and B.
We have a grade C in the freezer.
Part of me thinks.... do we get it tested and if its abnormal then at least we don't have to go through the heartache of another failure or biochemical. But if it's normal then transfer it and hope for the best knowing that chance of implantation is much lower with the Grade C quality.
Or do we skip it and keep it frozen and start a fresh cycle again.

Sorry no one replied to your post yet. Its a tough decision. You say that getting it tested would potentially prevent you from going through the heartache of another failure. But in reality, if it was found to be abnormal, you would probably still be heartbroken đź’”
I suppose you’re the only one who can decide. If it were me, I would just give it one last try with the frozen emby. And if it doesn't work, then you can reassess your options at that stage. Good luck with whatever you decide 🤞🏼

Hi Lola

Thank you for your reply. We've decided to give this one a go, you never know but it could be the one! Plus, it would be mean thawing it, testing it, refreezing and then thawing again. That's not good for the embyro!
