day 5 embryos

Hi guys,

I just received a call from the RE office and of the 22 retrieved only 5 have more than 8 cells, on day 5.  None are at blastocyst level.  Is this as grim as I think it is?  Anyone in a similar boat?

Hi, hun! I've posted this on another thread. We had 2 nice 5-day blasts for the ET. I believe this is not the game for a quality. Quantity is the main issue. For the successful ivf only ONE healthy embryo is enough. As for boosting chances with two put back it should not be the trick. Dr is responsible for allowing or prohibiting it mostly. In our clinic they considered the risks if getting pregnant with multiples. And only in the case multiple pregnancy is not prohibited for you they'll let it go with 2. For me even 1 nice healthy 5-day blast for ivf is a perfect chance for success. Wishing you good luck and waiting for the update. Hugs
