[quote=Anonymous]Hi, may be not worth dithering over, but Columbia Fertility includes in the agreement to transfer Day 5 blastocysts, saying there isn't enough reliable data to demonstrate poorer health outcomes for children born of Day 5 blastocysts compared to Day 3 embryos, but the risks "cannot be dismissed." I'm worried (eggs are being fertilized right now so I literally have 24 hours to make a decision). I see some longitudinal studies (all from Europe that I can see) showing slightly increased risks for Day 5s v. Day 3s of 1) preterm delivery 2) higher birthweights (too high) 3) congenital abnormalities and 4) identical twins. I'm most concerned, as I think most would be with congenital abnormalities. Any (constructive) thoughts/dialogue sought! FWIW, I know Day 5s have a higher chance of resulting in a live birth - that's not my question here - my concerns are around health of the human born of such a transfer. [/quote]
