Pregnant after IF

Visiting from IF board with question

I hope its okay if I post over here, I'm normally over on the IF board. I just got my call with my day 5 report and it was not good. Day 3 I had 2 grade 2's (on scale of 1 to 3 with 1 being best) and one grade 3. Today, Day 5, all three embryos have not really changed much since day 3 according to the nurse. She said they will look at them tomorrow but she didn't sound hopeful and I don't feel hopeful. 
So I'm coming over here to ask if anyone has ever been in my shoes and gotten good news on day 6?

I appreciate any answers.

    I'm sorry - I don't have any advice on your question (we transferred our embryos on Day 3)).   One thing my RE said though was that the difference between a Grade 1 and a Grade 2 embryo on Day 3 was tiny, and often just a matter of a little bit of fragmentation.

    When they told you they "look the same" today does that mean they haven't grown or increased in cell numbers at all?  Or that they are all approximately the same grades?   Are they still ~8 cell embryos or are they morulas or getting to blasts yet?    If they're still growing, I definitely wouldn't give up hope at all --- in that case I may elect to transfer 2 or 3 of them if they weren't going to make it to freeze though and if I were cool with multiples.

    I don't know, I emailed my nurse to ask for the report from the embryologist, she's been sending me that on my request. The nurse that called me, different one, said they was "very little change" and that they are still cleaved.
