recommend 3 or 5 day transfer (over 40)

in Pregnant after 35

Hi ladies,

I've been largely absent from the boards the last few months.  After my ectopic (and 4th m/c) I needed a break.  Slowly creeping back in.  Had my ER on Friday and waiting to hear tomorrow am whether we will do 3dt or 5dt.

My previous 2 IVF's were 3dt and both resulted in pregnancies (though both m/c). If you did IVF, were you a 3dt or 5dt?  I think my clinic has changed their protocol recently and may push for 5dt. As of yesterday we were 13R, 10M, 8F.

What do you think? I keep reading conflicting info.

Thanks for your help...

Ps. I'm a few weeks shy of 42. 

Me-42 DH-43 TTC #1 since 3/11
HSG 7/11 showed possible blockage

    I had only one IVF, but I was five day. That IVF failed but then I had FET and that took. 

    Sorry about your lost. Best of luck

    Mine was 3 day.  I got the impression that unless I was young or had a high number of good looking fertilized eggs (didn't happen) that it would be 3 vs 5.
    Me: 37 DH: 37 TTC since Jan 2012. RE consult and initial testing done in Aug 2012: SA fine, AMH 1.1 & HSG clear - on way to IUI but got BFP on 9/10/2012. m/c 10/3/2012 at 6w5d. BFP next cycle which was a c/p. IUI #1: Clomid 100mg 12/6= BFN. IUI#2 (unmedicated) Jan 2013 = BFN. Hysteroscopy 1/25/13. IUI#3 Clomid 100mg 2/23 = BFN IUI# 4: BFN. IVF #1 April 2013, BFP!  EDD 1/12/14 with Boy!

    When I did IVF at age 41-42, always did a 3dt-even though embries were 8 cells and looked good on Day 3.  I was never pushed to a 5dt because there was a high risk that there would be none to transfer 2days later.  We never had more than 3 embries in a cycle though because of DOR.  In the 3 cycle that we went to ER, 2 were BFN and we had one chemical PG.

    Our DE cycle was a 5dt that resulted in our current pregnancy.  GL!!!

    Both of my pregnancies have resulted from the transfer of 5 day blasts after chromosomal micro-array (both FETs).  The first resulted in the live birth of my son, who is now a "terrible" but extremely adorable 2-year old!  I'm 16 weeks along with my second.  As I remember, the IVF doctors made the decision about whether it was better to do the freeze-all at 3 days or 5 days. Best of luck!

    Most RE's follow a protocol to do a 5 day transfer if there are over a certain number of eggs that fertilize (cannot remember the number), which generally means there will be a blast to transfer at Day 5. I think the guidelines are described at the ASRM website.

    Both of my cycles we transferred 5 day blasts.  They were hatching by the time they were transferred.

    I had BFP the first cycle, but ended up ectopic.  I'm almost 5 weeks now so fingers crossed.

    I'd highly recommend doing CCS testing so you won't waste time on abnormal embryos that will likely end in m/c.  If I hadn't tested, I'd have been given a visually beautiful embie at transfer that was actually genetically defective.
