Day 5 after Egg Retrieval .. not good - need advice - 8 cell slow growing

I am 33, AMH 1.7, only retrieved 9 eggs and only had 3 eggs fertilized…

Today is Day 5 after retrieval and the embryologist called me and said 2 of the embryos are 8-cell.. meaning they look like what day 3 should look like (but on day 5)… so they’re very very slow growing. And then I have the last embryo showing as a low grade very early blast.. now I’m starting to feel like this won’t happen for me :(

Does anyone have any success stories similar to my situation?

Need Advice .. Only 3 eggs fertilized

I am 33 y/o, 1.7 AMH, egg quality issue, have had 1 ectopic and 2 chemicals over the last 3 years. Decided to try IVF first time ever, was going to do PGTa testing too.. assuming I was going to have more eggs.

Got 9 eggs at retrieval and only 3 fertilized. I was devastated. After research I decided I won’t do PGTa anymore but my doc said it’s too late now to do fresh transfer this cycle since we didn’t start on progesterone early enough.

I was worried about the freezing and thawing :(

So now I am worried. I’m supposed to find out in 2 days how many (if any) of the 3 made it to blast.

Hoping to hear some success stories.

*** UPDATE, today is Day 5, and 2 of the embryos are 8-cell.. meaning they look like what day 3 should look like (but on day 5)… so they’re very very slow growing. And then I have the last embryo as low grade very early blast.. now I’m starting to feel like this won’t happen for me :(
