Infertility

On our way to ET...

They're doing a day 3 and so far all I know is that we have at least 3 8 cells. Theyll tell us more when we get there. I am worried about doing this on Day 3 as opposed to Day 5....is there a huge diff? I thought it was better to transfer 5 day blasts?
me 40, DH 39... FSH:8.6 AMH 2.3 AFC:15... DH: MF: sx for Double Varicocele, SA 45 mil, motil: 50%, morph 3%- "lazy swimmers!"... Me: All "normal" but aging eggs most likely... ;-/ DS: 4/29/05-7 yrs old MC 9 weeks: 9/21/11 TTC for 3 yrs...7/2012: 1st IUI: BFN 8/2012: 2nd IUI: BFN... Need a break already! IVF #1 in progress Jan 2013: Antagonist Prot.: Gonal F 300/Menopur 150 ER: 15 follies, 12 retrieved, 10 mature, 10 fertilized...grow embies grow! 1/8/13: BFN.

Re: On our way to ET...

  • Day 5 is supposed to give you a better picture of the strongest embryos. However, my RE ONLY does 3dt so they must believe that the sooner back in the ute the better for the embies. Hope your 3- 8cells are little rockstars!!!  How many of them are you transferring?

    Good Luck with the transfer, my RE prefers 5dt because he believes if they wouldn't survive to 5 day outside they wouldn't survive inside, so it's more just to know that they are strong, not that it is better to not put them in early.  I hope that makes sense.
     

    My clinic says the exact same thing. But if there are only a few good ones on day 3, they want to get them in your ute sooner rather than waiting until day 5 and having them all arrest and nothing to transfer. GL today!!!

  • Snuggling vibes! 
    Married 2007
    3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
    IVF #1 never made it to transfer
    On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
    Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
    Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
    Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
    OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
    On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
    Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
    Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!
