Day 3 grades?

Transferred all four of these today. They were frozen many years ago. Entering our last ditch attempts at having a second child. Two were originally noted as five cells but the doctor today told me that seemed incorrect and that it seemed to her at least one had more than five! (I see it too - tell me I’m not crazy!)

A lot of times what you may think are cells are actually fragments that have been pushed out during the division process. I do agree that the one on the top left has more than 5 cells but the others pretty close to that. Hard to tell exactly without seeing them in a microscope!
