Early blasts are more advanced than morulae.

The order is:

2pn stage (1 cell with 2 pronuclei)
Cleavage stage (2 to 10 cells)
Compaction
Morula
Cavitation
Early Blastocyst
Full Blast
Hatching blast
Hatched blast

As a general rule, the more advanced on a given day, the better. On day 5, it's common to have morula, cavitating, and early blasts. Full blasts are somewhat unusual at that point.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

I had 3 morulas transfered on 7/17 and I have had 2 very positive betas. I was concerned that they were not blasts yet, however they stuck and now I have BFP!!! Good luck.
