[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone really knows yet OP.

From my experience (8 years ago) and the readings I've kept up with, there is certainly some truth to being able to be more confident about potential success of blasts that make it to day 5.  Day 3's simply don't show enough info yet to know.

And I had an RE who believed that blasts stood a better chance in the uterus than in being frozen.

So we transferred the two best looking 3 days we had, as a fresh transfer, and let the rest grow.  We ended up with two more frozen blasts (3 good looking ones never made it to day 5).

My fresh 3 days both failed and the 2 frozen 6 day blasts both resulted in a healthy child.

So I think that despite all the amazing science there is still a huge amount of luck and hunchwork involved.

Which sucks.

FWIW, I don't regret trying the 3 day fresh transfer - it's what my RE thought was our best shot.  She was genuinely surprised they didn't "take" as they looked perfect.  But she - and we - were doing our best, and that's really all I felt was guaranteed.

Good luck![/quote]
