Day 5 embryos

[Doita85]

I had my egg retrieval last Saturday. 17 eggs were collected -12 out of the 17 was good eggs and suitable for fertilisation.

Today was my day 5 of embryos, I got told I have 1 embryo reached the blastocyst and 3 are good too but did not reach the blastocyst.

Can I get pregnant with non blastocyst embryos ?

I am just worried that I only can get pregnant with blastocyst embryos

Generally this means that your embryos are just a bit slow at getting to blastocyst and your clinic will probably leave them an extra day. The stage before blastocyst is morula and some people do get pregnant from morula embryos - it just means they are a little behind but can continue to expand and become a baby if they are good quality and still developing. Good luck x

They just froze them like that. They did not leave the other ones until tomorrow which I am upset about now after reading everyone's messages here.I wish I knew this,I could have asked if they can keep them until tomorrow.

They do like to see them at blastcyst stage at day 5 . But one good quality egg is all it takes. Good luck hun xx

I have had day 6 blasts frozen and am currently pregnant with one of those. As others have said, some are just a little slower on day 5 and need an extra day. Fingers crossed for you!

My clinic takes embryos to Day 7. I think Day 6 blastocysts are quite common so don't despair xx

My healthy 11 month old came from a day 5 (either 8 cell or 16 cell embryo) non blastocyst embryo.it can definitely happen. We transferred embryos without much hope also.
