I've had man boobs since I was 18 and now I'm 22. At first I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't, even with regular chest workouts. My nipples are puffy and an awkward shape which makes me think it's gynecomastia. I also have thyroid issues - could that be causing this? What's the best treatment option, medication or surgery?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, and your thyroid issues could be contributing. While it can be common for breast tissue to enlarge during puberty, if it persists into your early twenties, it's important to consult with a doctor. Your doctor can assess your specific situation, including your thyroid condition, and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include medication, liposuction, or surgery

What are the success chances when transferring a grade 2 embryo? I've got three of these, each being a grade 2 on day 3. Could you also explain how the grading works and what my chances of conceiving might be?

The success chances of a grade 2 embryo transfer are relatively good, considering day 3 embryo grades are categorized into four quality levels. - Grade 1 (poor quality): More than 25% fragmentation - Grade 2 (fair quality): 10-25% fragmentation - Grade 3 (good quality): 1-10% fragmentation - Grade 4 (excellent quality): Less than 1% fragmentation Studies have shown that embryos across all grades can lead to healthy births, but higher-quality embryos have better success rates. For day 3 embryos, the success rates are generally lower compared to blastocyst-stage embryos. To give you a better idea, here are some general success rates for embryo transfers based on the embryo's quality and stage of development : - Excellent-grade blastocysts: 65% pregnancy rate and 50% live birth rate - Good-grade blastocysts: 59.3% pregnancy rate and 49.7% live birth rate - Average-grade blastocysts: 50.3% pregnancy rate and 42.3% live birth rate - Poor-grade blastocysts: 33.3% pregnancy rate and 25% live birth rate Keep in mind that these are general estimates and actual success rates can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific fertility clinic. Given that you have three grade 2 embryos, your chances of conceiving are still relatively good, but it's essential to consult with your fertility specialist to discuss the best course of action and determine the most suitable embryo transfer strategy for your specific situation.
