[quote=Anonymous]We just got news that we have 3 fertilized eggs and are trying to decide if we should do a day 3 or day 5 transfer.  Or if we should freeze and do a FET after my body has a chance to recoup from the stims.  This is our third IVF attempt and the prior two ended with a BFN.  We transferred 1 on day 3 for the first cycle and 2 on day 3 for the second cycle.  Nothing left over to freeze.

I'm leaning towards at least a day 5 transfer so we can see how the embryos are developing.  We have MFI and low ovarian reserve issues.  On prior cycles, everything looked great on day 3 so it's not clear why things aren't sticking.  We're also doing immune treatments with this round to try and address possible implantation issues.  We were told that there might be diagnostic value in letting the embroyos grow to day 5 to see if there are sperm issues causing development problems.  We've also been told that success can be higher with a FET because it gives the body time to let the stim drugs get out of the system.

Anyone have any experience with this?  Thoughts and prior experiences would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]
