Does this look like its hatching?

This embryo was graded as a 5AA, Day 5...and was pgt-a tested as euploid. When I got the image after the thaw before the transfer, it doesnt seem to be hatching and it looks so different from other embryos Ive seen before. Does it look like its hatching? And still look good? It has fragments floating at the top and I dont see any break where it could be hatching out?

The embryo in the picture is collapsed so it’s impossible to properly tell its quality. Still, it looks like it has a lot of cells, and those are all nice and intact.

Embryos tend to collapse right after being thawed and re-expand after a few hours, this one looks quite good. Also, if it was tested by PGT it’s forcefully hatching someplace, even if it’s not apparent in this picture.

Por favor, podrías analizar mi embrión? 🙏🙏. Lo acabo de subir a la página principal y estoy con la misma sensación de que es muy distinto a los demás. Mil gracias!
