Bec, I have living proof sleeping in my lap right now. I had four blast transfers and three miscarriages resulting from them...
Our third stim cycle was looking to be a complete disaster - they'd taken me to EPU a little earlier to help avoid OHSS (managed it!) for a change, from 20 eggs we ended up with only 12 mature, but for some reason they could never explain only three of those fertilised...
The clinic would not grow to blast with so few embryos and so we transferred on day three. I now have a healthy 9 month old boy sleeping in my lap and two frozen day three embryos waiting at the clinic.
I don't necessarily think it was all about transferring on day three rather than day five, but it certainly is proof that blastocyst culture is not the be all and end all of IVF.
I think I have spoken to you before about the eating plan I was put on to help improve egg quality and avoid OHSS?
