  • Neither.  It totally depends on the situation-- the number and the quality of your embryos at transfer.

    lol I was wondering if a member of IFV was going to share it but this board has been moving kind of slow the past few days so I decided to go ahead and share. Smile

  • This is one of the things that makes me nervous. I believe my RE will only do a 5dt. I am meeting with them next week to go over questions & to go over exact protocol for our June IVF, but this is def 1 of the things I am going to ask them to confirm.

    07/10/11-03/20/12- 5 Injectable (Follistim) IUI cycles; 4 BFN, 1 C/P. (stims ranged from 11 days to 25 days)

  • It really depends on the situation/person.  My old clinic pushed for 5DT and my new clinic does both 3DT and 5DT depending on results etc.  For me personally I'm hoping to do a  5DT again because my last IVF my embies looked fantastic at day 3 and then stopped growing.  By day 5 we only had one and another that was almost one.  But that said it didn't work so who knows if 3D would have been better.  Some RE's are of the mindset the 3DT work better becuase they have longer in the actual body and will grow better in the body rather than out.
    TTC since 2008, our little miracle arrived July 2013!

  • If you have a lot of eggs, it's usually better to do a 5dt because then you have a better idea of which embryos are best without risking your whole cycle by waiting. This way, you don't transfer the losers that are going to poop out.

    If you don't have a lot of embryos, then it's usually clear on day 3 which ones are best, so it's good to go ahead and get them inside you earlier. Otherwise they may die in the lab and you wouldn't get to transfer, when they may have survived in utero.

    There are a lot of exceptions to these generalizations and no one really knows what's best. There are too many variables in each woman's cycle to really figure it out.
