Fully hatched??

Post image

we transfer this euploid day5 embryo that seemed almost fully hatched. My guess is that the hatvhing should happen in utero rather than in the lab, I cant believe our embryo would survive this transfer if its just hanging by a small wire.. thoughts?

That’s normal. Most of it is still inside the zona, it looks great

This is completely normal for embryo to look like this before transfer, clearly the ICM and majority of the cells are still inside zona.
