Day 2 post embryo transfer panic attack

Yesterday was my embryo transfer, I decided to do IVF abroad due to financial reasons and apparent better outcomes. I flew from the US to Turkey for my frozen and transfer of two untested day five embryos. My doctor came in and he said they took two out of the freezer and one of them didn’t look that good, and he said he was concerned and even recommended transferring 4 embryos…
In the end, he advised that we take all five of my untested embryos out of the freezer and assess which two are the strongest to transfer. We transferred 2 that he chose. Today I’m learning two out of the five arrested., he said the third looked iffy, but I requested they freeze it anyways. Now he’s telling me it’s very uncommon for this to happen and he’s concerned of low embryo quality.
I need some guidance here. I have no idea how to move forward or how to feel confident in the transfer I did yesterday.
Just some backstory 29F 36M secondary unexplained infertility, we conceived naturally and have a four-year-old child.
Please be kind im really in need of help here.

After all the waiting, appointments and disappointment, we’re starting IVF!!!!!!

we’re finally starting IVF. I honestly thought getting to this point would feel like a relief, but now that it’s actually happening I’m just nervous. There are injections, regular scans, blood tests, egg retrieval, fertilisation and then that horrible wait to see how many embryos make it to day 5. Even seeing numbers like follicle count, AMH and egg numbers feels like they suddenly mean everything. I’m especially worried about the stimulation side and how my body will react. For those who have been through it, did your first stimulation cycle go fairly smoothly or did you struggle with things like bloating, mood changes or pain?
