Has anyone had a IVF 3 day transfer and became pregnant?

I just had a 3 day transfer yesterday and I heard that it is better to do a transfer on day 5.  My questions is has anyone had a 3 day transfer and became pregnant.  Also, when does implantation take place during a three day transfer.

Hi Sarah328, hope I would get the response from you as I can see that you're active in 2010. I was wondering whether you had successful pregnancy? I really hope so.

Is there a lady who is above 45 y/o and trying to get pregnant for the first time? or do you know anybody?

Here is a timeline to let you know what is going on :). Hope it helps!!

Days Past Transfer (DPT)
*One - The embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula
*Two - The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst
*Three - The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
*Four - The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
*Five- The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
*Six Implantation continues
*Seven- Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop*
*Eight - Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
*Nine - Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
*Ten - Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
*Eleven - Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy

You posted your question on an old thread, you might want to start a new thread to get more responses.  It is quite normal not to have any symptoms, or to have a ton of symptoms.  This whole process is unpredictable, and no two cycles are the same.  I had 0 symptoms during my 2ww, and I got a positive, so hang in there :) nwhen is your blood test??

I had a Day 3 transfer with (2) 10 cell embryos, graded 2 1/2 and 3.  This is my first IVF procedure and I am 42, will be 43 in April...it worked!  I found out on Thursday I am pregnant:)  Quite shocked, as my AMH was .3!!!  Practically nonexistent ovarian reserve!  So I am 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant, according to my doctor.  I had been on Lupron, Menopure, Gonal-F, dexamethasone, DHEA, CoQ10 and folic acid along the way. Crinone, Estradiol and folic acid after the pregnancy news...I do another blood test this Monday to make sure my hormones are doubling, and am resting a LOT.  Crossing our fingers, and nervous for our doctor's appointment on November 7!  Praying I can carry this baby safely!  Symptoms along the way included an 8 lb weight gain(mostly water), a couple of headaches, bloating/gas, constipation, light cramping EXCEPT 'take my breath away cramping' on Day 8...I thought for sure my little embryo or embryos were dying:(  I guess it was the implantation that was so painful, maybe because I am older.  Anyway, God has a plan, and I just have to trust in him...thinking of all of you struggling through this process...prayers for everyone, xoxo, Sabatinimommy

How all is well with you - We have a son in the army and my daughter-in-law is also going through IVF trying to get pregnant. How did you get the army to help fund the process?

I'm 44 and so thrilled to be in the 2 wk wait. My own eggs with hubby's sp icsi 5 eggs resulted in 2 embies (one a surprise late bloomer) transferred on day 3 . I'm now 6dpt, last night period crampy feeling but no AF yet. I thought it was all over till I read everyone's posts. I'm VERY healthy, never drank, smoked, never done any drugs, not even coffee my whole life, doc said it doesn't make a difference, can't wait to do a victory dance in his office! 2 boys conceived naturally aged 9 and 13 always wanted one more. Hoping for a BFP, my blood test is not for not for another 12 days... think I'll try a HPT in 5 days (that would make it 11 days from transfer) Excited with nothing to lose!!

I am new here but have read most of the posts on here going back to 2009.
A little about me I am 45 had 3 embryos transferred on 9/15/2012 and I am now 5dpt they were transferred on day 3. I am scared, hopeful, anxious and every other adjective you can think of, I had cramping a couple of days after the transfer and swollen boobs.. But today not so much cramping. I guess I'm looking to talk so that I don't go completely crazy. Thanks for listening.

I just had a 3 day transfer 5 days ago. Have been feeling so anxious after reading that 5 day transfers are better. I was never given the option though :( I am having no cramping and no bleeding. Did you have the ideal 8 cell embryos transfered yourself?

They took the time out to see my issue individually not a group!!!!!!

Hi everyone. I am new here and read all the stories. It helps very much knowing how many of us are going through the same process and I wanted to share my experience with you. Back to 2007 I had my 1st IVF cycle. All went well and I had 2 embryos (day 3) transferred. We were able to freeze 5 more embryos, all day 3. I ended pregnant and now I have a beautiful 4 years old daughter. Last August we tried for a frozen cycle (we had to use 3 embryos as one did not survive at all) and 2 good quality 3 days embryos were transferred. Unfortunately it did not work and we were quite disappointed. We decide to use the last 2 frozen embryos and I had a transfer on the 6th March (10 days ago). Today I used and old pregnancy test I had at home (since I was pregnant) I have to say that it expired end 2007 but I was so anxious that I decided to use it anyway. It came out negative. Made me feel sad even I know it could be too early (today is my 10d after ET) and also the test could not be in the best condition since it was a very old one. My Clinic told me not to do any test before the 19th March, but I am dying to know. If it does not work we do not have more frozen embryos and I am 43 so the chances of conceiving again with my own eggs are low. I have no symptoms at all, no bleeding, no sore breasts... Some period like cramps but very mild. I would even say I have lost some weight :( Anyone experiencing something similar? Please let me know your thoughts! Congratulations to  the ones already expecting and the best of luck for the ones still triyng :)

I feel soo relieved that someone is not having any symptoms at 8dpt. I have been freaking out as up until day 6dpt i have had tender brests, cramps, back ache but now nothing. keeping everything crossed that it has worked but so afriad that it hasn't, this is our 3rd attempt and I don't know if I can go through it again. I am an emotional wreck!
