PGT-A Euploid Probability Calculator

Developed by Ivy Surrogacy, this calculator estimates the likelihood that each embryo is euploid based on maternal age, blastocyst day (D5–D7), and morphology grade — helping you interpret your PGT-A results with clarity and confidence.

PGT-A Euploid Probability (D5/D6/D7 • Morphology • Age Band)

Estimate per-embryo probability of being euploid after PGT‑A using age band, blastocyst day, and morphology. Add multiple embryos to see cumulative estimates.

⚙️ How This Calculator Works

This calculator estimates the likelihood that an embryo is chromosomally normal (euploid) using three main factors derived from large PGT-A datasets:

1. Age at Egg Retrieval

Euploidy rates decline with age — about 68% for ≤30 years, 58% for ages 31–34, 50% for 35–37, 35% for 38–40, 22% for 41–42, and 16% for ≥43.

2. Blastocyst Development Day

Embryos that reach blastocyst earlier tend to be more chromosomally normal:
Day 5 ×1.00, Day 6 ×0.80, Day 7 ×0.50.

3. Morphology Grade

Embryos with stronger ICM and TE quality have higher euploid chances:
AA ×1.15, AB/BA ×1.10, BB ×1.00, BC/CB ×0.75, CC ×0.55.

Calculation formula:

Euploid Probability = Age Baseline × Day Multiplier × Morphology Multiplier
(Results constrained between 5%–85%, with total probability capped at 99%.)

🧮 How to Interpret Your Results

1. Expected Euploid Count (∑pᵢ)

Shows the average number of embryos likely to be chromosomally normal.
Example: If six embryos are entered and the total is 3.2, about three may be euploid.

2. Probability of ≥1 Euploid Embryo

Reflects the likelihood that at least one embryo in your set is chromosomally normal.
Even with multiple embryos, this probability is capped at 99% to avoid implying absolute certainty.

3. Per-Embryo Probability

Each embryo’s result depends on its age band, development day, and morphology combination.
Day 5 AA embryos in younger age bands show the highest predicted probabilities.

Important Note on Variability

While the model is based on large PGT-A datasets, these estimates are meant for educational reference only.
Each individual’s biology, lab conditions, and clinical context may differ, resulting in natural variability beyond statistical prediction.

🔬 Scientific Basis

The PGT-A Euploid Probability Calculator is built upon decades of reproductive genetics research and thousands of tested embryos across U.S. fertility centers. It reflects how three biological mechanisms—maternal age, embryo developmental timing, and morphological quality—interact to determine chromosomal normality.

1. Age and Meiotic Error

As maternal age increases, the quality of oocytes declines due to cumulative damage in the meiotic spindle and mitochondrial function. Chromosome-segregation errors during meiosis I become more frequent, leading to higher rates of aneuploid embryos.
In women under 30, about two-thirds of embryos are chromosomally normal; by 40, that number drops to roughly one-third, and by 43 and beyond, to less than one in five. This age-related decline forms the baseline of the model.

2. Blastocyst Day and Developmental Speed

Embryos that reach the blastocyst stage earlier (Day 5) usually have stronger metabolic efficiency, better genomic activation, and lower cellular stress. Delayed development (Day 6 or 7) may indicate chromosomal imbalance or suboptimal cellular energy, resulting in a reduced chance of being euploid. Studies consistently show a stepwise decline in euploid rates from D5 → D6 → D7.

3. Morphology and Cell Line Quality

Blastocyst morphology grading—based on the quality of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE)—is a visual proxy for cellular organization and genome stability. Embryos with compact ICM and cohesive TE layers (grades AA–AB–BA) demonstrate lower DNA-damage rates and better chromosomal integrity. Conversely, embryos with loose or sparse TE (BC, CC) tend to show more fragmentation and abnormal division patterns.

Together, these three predictors explain most of the variation observed in chromosomal outcomes after IVF and form the foundation of the calculator’s probability model.

❓ FAQ — PGT-A Euploid Probability Calculator

Find clear answers to common questions about PGT-A results, embryo euploid probability, and IVF outcomes.

Yes. Select the age band of the egg provider (donor) rather than the recipient. Chromosomal competence is determined by the egg source, not by the uterus or gestational carrier. This ensures your euploid probability estimate remains medically accurate.

These indicate the day an embryo reached the blastocyst stage after fertilization. Embryos that form blastocysts earlier (Day 5) generally have higher euploid probability, while Day 6 and Day 7 embryos often show slower development and slightly lower chromosomal stability.

Morphology grading evaluates the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) quality. High-quality embryos (AA, AB, BA) have more organized cellular structure and greater genome stability, whereas lower grades (BC, CC) are more prone to fragmentation or abnormal division—hence, lower euploid probability.

No. A euploid embryo has the correct number of chromosomes, but implantation and live-birth outcomes depend on additional factors such as uterine environment, hormonal balance, embryo transfer technique, and overall maternal health.

To reflect biological variability and laboratory uncertainty. Even when conditions are optimal, real-world data show that no scenario can offer absolute certainty—so probabilities are capped at 99% for scientific realism.

Most genetics laboratories provide results within 10 to 14 days after biopsy. Turnaround time may vary slightly between IVF clinics, testing platforms, and workflow schedules.

This model is based on large multicenter datasets and validated research, but it provides an educational estimate only. Individual outcomes can vary due to differences in ovarian response, egg quality, lab conditions, and biopsy methods. Use it as a guide—not a guarantee—to inform discussion with your fertility specialist.
