    That really is hard to tell but it does look like a blood ring. At day 10 I usually see a lot more veins and such. I would get rid of those if were me.

    First one looks to have a bloodring developed...the second I would shine the light down from the top before throwing or getting rid of it to make sure nothing is in there...I candle from the top down....

    I have to tell you...I had one that looked just like that and I was certain it was a bloodring. I almost chucked it but decided to keep it a while longer...as long as it wasn't weeping. It is now pipped and will probably hatch tonight!

    It will eventually declare itself one way or the other.

    Looks like blood rings to me as well. If you want to keep it for a few more days and check again on day 14. You should see an embro by then. Be aware that they can go bad quickly so if you detect even the slightest strange odor, get rid of it.
