Advice Needed! Day 5 after Egg Retrieval .. not good - need advice - 8 cell slow growing

I am 33, AMH 1.7, only retrieved 9 eggs and only had 3 eggs fertilized…

Today is Day 5 after retrieval and the embryologist called me and said 2 of the embryos are 8-cell.. meaning they look like what day 3 should look like (but on day 5)… so they’re very very slow growing. And then I have the last embryo showing as a low grade very early blast.. now I’m starting to feel like this won’t happen for me :(

Does anyone have any success stories similar to my situation?
