A morula on day 3 is great!!  Your embies are developing nicely.  Usually embies start compacting late day 3 - day 4.  

I'd be really happy with that!

If by compact embryo transfer you mean the embryos were compacting, that is totally normal for afternoon of day 3 -- it's a good sign when your embryos are dividing and stage appropriate!  Good luck!

I was going to ask the same thing - what is a compact stage embryo? Is that just another name for a 3 day embryo? If it is, then it is not good or bad, and the I'm sure your doctor had reasons behind doing a 3 day transfer as opposed to a 5 day transfer. Usually, they decide on a 5 day transfer if there are a lot of fertilized eggs and that basically helps them pick the healthiest ones.

I had a 5 day transfer in April (my 1st IVF) with an A+ quality embryo, and just like Mel4141, I got my BFP on May 3rd and am now 5 weeks pregnant! Best wishes :)
