Well, I had 5 mature at retrieval, which I was very upset about and the Doc thought we'd probably do a 3 day...but 4 fertilized and all 4 are still going strong.

I don't think the research is set on which is better, he told me 3 vs 5 was an issue of being able to decrease the chance of multiples more accurately. Not sure if that's true!

Hopefully you get the best result possible!

Thanks to you both!

And Jin, I know you were worried about the number of eggs retrieved but it sounds like things are progressing to a day 5 transfer ... YAY!

Not a dumb question - I had the same question!

My ER was Friday 1 Feb, my transfer is Wednesday 6 Feb.

Good luck!

Not a dumb question. The day of retrievel is not counted. Day 1 is the day after retrievel.

When talking about a day 3 or day 5 transfer ... how do you count? Is an embryos day 1 the day of retrieval or is that day 0?
