Transferring one embryo

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice from you ladies who have gone through IVF. I mentioned before that I'm in my first cycle, scheduled for a transfer Monday. I read everyone's stories about Day 5, blastocysts, single embryo transfer, etc., but still am not sure I understand what it all means! I am going to check in with my Dr. one more time Monday morning to ask questions, but figured I'd put it out to you ladies too.
A little background, I am 30, DH is 29. We have a 3 year old son conceived without any issues. We are currently battling unexplained secondary infertility. At egg retrieval on Wednesday, I had 24 eggs retrieved. By Thursday, 21 had fertilized and by yesterday, there were 20. They scheduled me for a transfer today, but said I will likely get pushed to Day 5, Monday. They called this morning and said yes, I will come in on Monday for transfer.
What is the difference between Day 3 and Day 5? Is there a high risk of twins when transferring only one Day 5 embryo? Up until recently, I didn't even realize it was possible to have twins from a single embryo transfer.
