Please someone give me hope: IVF

Ok so I've posted a couple times over the past few days about IVF because I did my egg transfer earlier this week. However. EVERYTHING I read is positive results from a 5 day transfer. Has anyone had a positive three day transfer with two embryos using ICSI? I also did assisted hatching. I'm 29 and no male issues, I'm simply just unexplained :/. Please let me know whether 3 day worked for you or not and how many babies if so :).

    I'm doing a 3 day transfer tomorrow. I try not to read into things too much as it will drive you mad. Everyone is different and I have heard positive results from a 3 day transfer. Positive vibes and prayers to you.

    @riveridgional how do I find those polls?!?

    @jnissa thank you for replying!! Such a roller coaster and yesterday was just a negative day for me. Today I'm on the fence it seems like.

    Although technically my friend transferred on day 5, when they looked at the embryos they did not grow past day 3... transferred 2 anyways (the other 10 completely arrested), and she is pregnant with TWINS!  Anything is possible.

    I just had this conversation with doctor yesterday. I am also 29 and he had me set up for a 3 day transfer. They way he explained it to me helped a lot, so I'll do my best to explain it to you in hopes that it helps you.

    The transfer day is decided based on quality of eggs AND quantity of eggs. Both are factored into the decision.
    If they feel that several embryos will make it to a 5 day, they will wait and do a 5. However, if you don't have a large number of embryos being fertilized in the first place, they usually won't risk waiting 2 more days to transfer because they could lose though embryos during that time.
    SO don't stress over a 3 day or a 5 day because which ever they chose, is the one that is best fit to give your embryos the best chance of attaching and being successful!

    It's all situational, so I'm sure your doctor chose to do a three day because he/she knew they were ready to be transferred.
    Your age helps you too! I'm also 29 and they told me that since I'm on the younger side, it increases my odds slightly.

    Hope that helps you! Trust the process and just keep thinking baby!!! Positive thoughts!

    I found it, but it actually looks like you started the discussion, so I guess you have already seen the answers. Just in case, the link is here:
