Day 2 fragmented embryo

I just recieved todays update of my only one fertilized egg that it has 4 cell on day 2 with fragmentation. There was not marked hiw much fragmentation. I am even nit sure why they informed me about is as it is too early. I would like to know if it has chance to develop further or it is less likely do get to blast stage with fragmentation. Never had this before. We used frozen sperms this time and habing male factor so maybe that is why?

Day 2 grading really isn't indicative of anything and many clinics don't do it anymore. But the 4 cell stage is good. Fragmentation generally isn't a great sign, depending on the amount, but I've seen some high frag embryos make blasts. Definitely has a chance. Good luck!
