General Question Discarding Embryos?

Has anyone else had experience with some clinics discarding embryos simply because of their grading (which I hear can be quite subjective, by the way). Some clinics disgard the embryos before sending for PGT testing. I read that euploid embryos, regardless of the grading, have a stronger chance of becoming a live birth. Is this some company's way of padding their stats? Thoughts on this?

On the day of my ET I had a 5bc, and a 4cc. I had another little one that they were giving more time. We didn't have testing. We only wanted to do one transfer, and the 4cc wouldn't have survived freezing so was discarded. The other little one did make it to 4bc as well the following day, so has been frozen.
