[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this at GW last year.  My RE retrieved 6 eggs, of which 5 were mature, and of which all 5 fertilized with ICSI.  We froze all 5 embryos on day3 at 8-cell stage divided into two parts, 2 embryos and 3 embryos, so I can do two FET.

At FET, GW thawed "day3 embryos" 24 hrs before transfer to see if any of them survive the thaw and viable for transfer. 
So, at the time of transfer, those embryos were day4 morula or compacting(? term?) stage.

Sadly, mc at 7 weeks due to trisomy.  Hoping to repeat the same early summer.[/quote]

Thanks PP. Were they open to transferring 3 if they froze that many in 1 batch?[/quote]

Not PP. But also froze 3-day embryos at GW. Dr F. said that number to transfer depends on how they survive the defrost, also of course of your case in particular. FWIW he would have consider transferring three for me (AMA). Also he said we can grow them to day 5 after the defrost if we were inclined.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for this info. I'd love to grow them but they croak on me on day 5... Now I am a bit torn between GW and Cornell for the next cycle. Did you have success with day 3 transfer at GW?  How are the wait times for monitoring at GW?  Did you have Donna as the nurse? I kinda don't like her from the initial visit.[/quote]
