IVF embryo updates

Hello,
I had my retrieval on Monday. They extracted 11 eggs, 9 of which were mature and they tried to fertilize via ICSI ( per standard protocol) and 6 of which fertilized normally. They called on Tuesday to tell me that. Then today, Thursday, they told me that I actually have 9 that fertilized and not 6. They said 3 were late bloomers. My next update isn't until Saturday. They told me to expect a drop. Since this is my first Ivf im not really sure what to expect as far as percentage who actually make it. Do late blooming embryos have a higher mortality rate than early bloomers? It's been a roller coaster thinking I only had 6, now finding out I have 9 but that 3 are "late bloomers". What has your experience been with drop off rates? My next update can't come fast enough. So much waiting!!!
