7 day embryo???anyone else?

in Infertility
I got the fertilization report today. Sunday was day 5. I got qty 2 day 6 AA embryos.  Along with 3 day 7 AA embryos.  I have never heard of this before. Apparently it's a newer thing where they allow the embryo to keep growing after day 6. I'm assuming technology is getting better so they can now get embryos past day you if need be. Anyone else have experience with day 7 embryos??? Any advice or input appreciated. I am getting pgs as well result should be back Friday/Monday.

    I had three day 6 and two day 7 embryos. My RE said they let them keep growing and as long as they are dividing normally, look good, etc. there is no difference, some just develop slower than others. My clinic will only freeze "good quality" embryos so my day 7's are all AAs or ABs

    Mine grew slowly, so we transferred a Day 6, which is now 8 months old, so they def will work. GL.

    Thanks for the response @FatPony @mtpbadger @vssbrm
    I'm hoping since that even they are day 7 since the quality is good everything will turn out. I should be getting my genetic results on all 5 embryos tomorrow or Monday! Fx all are normal. @FatPony  how many did you transfer?

    *****UPDATE

    #1 Day 6 AA HATCHED BLAST NORMAL

    #2 Day 6 AA HATCHING BLAST ( INCONCLUSIVE)

    #Day 7 HATCHED AB BLAST ( ABNORMAL  MONOSOMY)

    #4 Day 7 HATCHING AB BLAST NORMAL

    #5 Day 7 HATCHING AA BLAST NORMAL

    I asked the embryologist about the day 7 blasts. She says they allow to grow until day 7 because they have evidence showing day 7 blasts can be normal and successful pregnancies.
