I looked on your site at the different stages before the blastocyst stage and as I said I had two implanted. I compared my pictures with yours and the two they implanted out of the nine had a complete ropund circle and I was told on the last transfer that they were 7 to 8 cell embryos. My question is they are a complete round circle and look lile a kinda puzzle piece lol with several little circles inside but the two they implanted outside the circle has a bubble attached. These are the only two out of the nine that had that. Is that the assited hatching or more growth. What does it mean? And does it mean it is good. i was told that I had a 60% chance which I know is probly high. Please let me know what you think? I really appreciate you doctors ours seems to busy and has too many patients to answer the quetions that worry and mean the most to us. thank you, paige

Well, from your description, it sounds like the embryos were fully expanded blastocyst stage embryos. The round things inside are the stem cells and the "bubbles" on the outside indicates that the embryos were beginning to hatch out of the protein coat that contains the embryo until they reach the blastocyst stage. Good signs in both cases. 60% is probably a little over-optimistic, but I say that your chances are at least 50/50.

Best of luck.
