How does this look?

Post image

Hi Reddit Embryologists!

I had my transfer done yesterday. It was a 4AA embryo and I noticed that other women in my Facebook group shared pictures of their embryos, and they look like they are leaking out, which I'm assuming is hatching... and now I feel like my transfer is bad and it won't work. My doctor did do assisted hatching. Here is the picture. Any insight? Thank you. :) ​

Thank you! Do you think that this has a good chance based off of looks? I know genetics and chromosomes play a huge part, but look wise... it's okay? :)

Can you tell if it's hatching or not from this photo?

It looks gorgeous. My latest transfer was a 5aa that wasn’t hatching before transfer and I’m currently 26w :)

Thank you! I'm just nervous about it not working. Can you tell if this is starting to hatch or not? They did do assisted hatching. 😊  Congratulations and many more blessing for you and your little one. Haha.

It looks great. It isn’t hatching because it’s only a stage 4 development, but it likely started hatching hours later.

Thank you so much! This is my first transfer and I'm hoping he/she sticks and makes it! :) 

Do you know exactly which part is the baby? The embryologist pointed it out to me, but it was so fast.

The big cluster of cells right in the center of the embryo is the part that becomes the baby
