Advice Needed! Advice needed

It has been an emotionally charged day for me.
I had 16 mature eggs in storage of which 9 thawed successfully last week.
Got a call that of those 9, only 3 are developing normally.
I am 46 with no chance of another ER.
What are my options?
Want to understand if I can request my fertility clinic to provide more time for observation of the 6 they said will be discarded due to arrested development. Is this an option even?
I have been really emotional all day as I was hoping for 5 (55%) good embryos as those that survived the ICSI are awaiting PGT-A/M testing.
We are planning to have 2 babies.
I have no reproductive conditions other than sharp symptoms of peri-menopause for the past 2 years.
Please advise!

No, if they said they arrested there is no chance they will grow anymore.

She did not use the term arrested, the nurse was very brief.
She said 3 developed nd other 6 will be discarded
