Embryos did not look good for the transfer :P

Dr. said that they grade them on a 1-2-3 and then letter scale.  So mine went down to a 2b and there were only 2 at that.  So he put both in even though he originally only wanted to put one in because he is hoping that one sticks.  He said that there is something wrong with the eggs and that it is just something with me.  So now I am devasted.  I can't stop crying and that is not helping anything.  I just feel like there is no hope that I will ever have a baby.

I hope it's okay if I respond here.  It sounds like you transferred blasts from the grading they used?  I transferred two 3-day embies that were considered grade 4 (out of 5) and one stuck- this is after I broke down in tears on the transfer table.  So please know that while they give their best guess, they don't really know which ones will continue to grow and which won't.  The fact that yours made it to day 5 is a good sign, anyway.  Try to keep hope!

*******SIGGY WARNING*******

I hope you don't mind me piping in here to try and offer a little hope. My clinic graded embryos a 1,2, or 3 as well but doesn't use letters, although they should because the way they described them would have made more sense. I transferred three embryos and was told they were all grade 2. Two of them just barely squeaked by as a grade 2 and were as bad off as they could be and yet still get that grade. The other was a middle of the road grade 2.

In the end we had two implant and one is still going strong, at least as of a week ago.

I felt like you and was so distraught. We were also told that there was an egg quality issue based on how terrible my embryos looked. I've got my FX that everything is just fine and you get an awesome surprise in a couple weeks!
