    Of course there are pros and cons with every decision in this process, and there are very good reasons for going to day 5, but I was interested to read this, as I had always wondered why they did them at day 2 when everyone else seemed to have at least day 3s......

    my FS this morning was saying one of mine would not freeze, but that was still okay for transfer, so... if we had have left it it might not develop further, but tucked nice and cosy inside me, it might implant.....

    anyway..... I guess that's what makes some of this all about luck, you just never know whats going to work and what won't....

    One of the girls in here was like you and now her bubba is a couple of months old. She got the call to say that her embies were not doing so well, to come in a few days earlier than expected and her fs said to put both in. Both stuck, but sadly she lost one down the track. Now she one perfect bubba.

    So I guess our body is definately the best place for our embies.

    My FS said that they like to do day 5's transfers (if possible) as by day 5, they would have naturally arrived in the uterus. Younger embryos would still be in the tube and I guess thats why they change the solution late on day 3.

    Having said that PLENTY of women get pg with younger embies. Me included!

    I also read the embies dont like to be in the light as its dark inside, yet my clinic has shares in ETSA and has a bajillion lights on with transfer.

    My thing is, if the embie is going to make it, its going to make it Go you little embie! Stick and grow...stick and grow...STICK and GROW!!!

    I agree.... if it's gunna, it will.... but it doesn't hurt to research like mad - it's the only thing you have control over

    Barging in.....

    My FS wanted to do a day 3 transfer but I had 10 embies and demanded we thaw 3 and put the best day 5 back.

    I want expecting identical twins! But I am a strong believer in FET and a day 5 embie

    Barging out xx
