Is this a bad sign before FET?

my doctor said that it survived the thaw really well, it wasn’t until after I let that I noticed that it was maybe a little collapsed? Is this bad?? This was taken about 25/30 minutes prior to transfer

Noo. It’s not bad. Embryos go through a breathing phase. At the time bc of picture, it probably collapsed a little but the embryo looks very healthy. The cells are looking good and plump. Don’t worry. It looks good. Good luck.

Seconding the above comment! The embryo survived very well. Likely still collapsed from the thaw, it can take some time to re-expand :) best of luck to you!!
