Day 3 or Day 5?
Does it make a difference? Are the chance for positive pregancy higher with Day 5 transfers?
i have got polycistic ovarian syndrome and my husband has got low sperm count' i get 3 to 4 times period a year' we have been trying to have a baby for 3years now' but no luck' am very sad is there any1 that has the same problem out there?
Hi there, how are you? Once again, I could not get anything out of our RE while i was there today for the ET.
I think with blastocyst embryo transfer (an embryo that has developed for five to seven days after fertilization and has developed 2 distinct cell types and a central cavity filled with fluid), your RE, well actually embryologist can transfer fewer embryos, therefore reducing risks for multiple pregnancy while still keeping your overall chance for a successful pregnancy relatively high. Some say it does not make any difference at all while others say a blastocyst embryo transfer is better and can be done on day 5 which is a more "natural" time for the embryos to be in the uterus, and very shortly before actual invasion and embryo implantation. The uterine lining at day 5 blastocyst transfer should be ideal and receptive to the arriving embryo - this is the same timing as occurs in a "natural" pregnancy situation.
My only thing is…if it is meant to be, either way…the embryos will stick, either day 3 or day 5 transfer because they have what it takes to make it:)
Look how many women in this forum get pregnant from day 3 transfers.
When is your transfer?
