The "B" in the "B1" and "B2" grading of the blastocysts suggests they were second grade embryos (i.e. assuming A1 is the best). That is what I was referring to when I brough the point about the sperm's genetic contribution to blastocyst development.
A slower stimulation (10-12 days) is perferable to a shorter stimulation (less than 9 days). Stimulation for more than 12 days can lead to post-mature eggs. A slow stimulation allows for better egg maturation. So, no, a shorter stimulation with a higher dose of medication would not have resulted in more mature eggs - probably the opposite.
With the exception of presenting an overly optimistic picture, I think they handled your case as well as can be expected. I see no need to move to another program if this cycle fails. Every sperm and egg combination is unique, so you may do better on a subsequent cycle.

Hi Dr.
I had a day 5 transfer with two eggs all of VERY good quality, no fragmantation. however on day 5 after the transfer i began to bleed and on day six i passed a very small amount of clots. the bleeding is not heavy at all however, enough to have to use a pad and when i use the washroom and i wipe there is always a small amount of clots on the tissue. Does this mean i have most likely lost the pregnancy? or could it just be one sheding while the other implants? I took apregnancy test on sunday July 2 and it was negative. My transfer tooke place on June 24. my retreival was on june 19

"Spotting" during the two week wait is not uncommon, but don't read too much into it. Patients who are pregnant have spotting. Patients who are not pregnant have spotting. I understand that you are anxious and are trying to read every "sign", but the only true test is time. On that subject, you tested too soon. Eight days after a Day 5 transfer is not enough time for enough hCG to build up in your body to be consistently measured on a urine test. Wait for the blood test. It is far more accurate than the urine test.
