Day 3 FET vs Day 5 FET

I've only had FETs, no fresh transfers.  Our first day 3 FET in Jan 2012 (2 Grade 1 embryos) was negative.  Beta was 0...they never implanted.  Our second day 3 FET in Feb 2012 was with 3 Grade 2s.  Two implanted and there was a vanishing twin and our daughter, Grace.  We did a third day 3 FET 2 weeks ago.  Pregnancy test was negative.  I presented the idea of a day 5 FET to our doctor so we could see if the embryos love long enough to become blastocysts.  She was totally on board with the idea, but only transferring 2 at that point.  I've heard keeping the 3 and 4 day old embryos in the lab is better than putting the 3 days old ones in the uterus because the lab similates a fallopian tube better, which is where they would naturally be.  Anyone have solid knowledge on day 3 vs day 5 transfers?  Thanks!!
March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old. June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7 July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29 Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep 5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog. Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age. On to IVF! IVF ER 12.6: 37 mature eggs, 27 fertilized, froze all to avoid overstimulation; FET 1.22 (2 Grade 1)=BFN; FET 2.22 (3 Grade 2)=BFP! Beta 10dp3dt=291; 12dp3dt=644; HB 3.26!! 174 bpm: Vanishing twin almost completely absorbed 10wks Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    Should mention our last transfer was 1 Grade 1 and 2 Grade 2s, so under a microscope they look excellent.  RE suggested no genetic testing yet as eggs were retrieved when I was 28, I'll only be 30 in June, and we do have a 5-month-old, so it did
