A hard decision CP and I can imagine with all the different options going through your head a confusing one too.

I think the problem is we all respond differently and our little embies behave differently as well. You most definitely have a chance with a 5 cell, day 3 embie though..no doubt at all there.

My last cycle which you know was antagonist...we had a slow embie that they thought wasn't going to be any good and it just took an extra day than the rest and it caught up and made it to blastie.

Personally, if I was in your shoes I would transfer the best embie and try to freeze what I could after that. But this is totally based on our results in the past. We have lost over 60% of embies in the thawing process over our cycles. Many of which were blasties as well. So it seems our little ones just don't like to be frozen. So based on my experience with our embies I wouldn't like to take the chance to possibly lose the strongest embie.

But I also hear what you are saying about your body perhaps responding better to a FET. My 1st cycle ever resulted in a BFN and then the next cycle doing a FET I got a BFP and I am of the firm belief that it was beccause my body hadn't been through so much to prepare for the frozen TF. I think that it was really just my time with this pregnancy now though as I was so sick from the OHSS and these 2 fighters have battled on through countless hiccups. Who knows why our bodies respond so differently from one cycle to the next

My advice...talk seriously to your FS this afternoon about all your concerns and all your options and know that whatever decision you come to is the right one for you based on your body and your experiences. There is definately no right or wrong decision to be made here, just one that you and DH have to be happy with. And don't let the FS talk you into something you don't feel comfortable doing.

So hope I haven't confused you more.

Looking forward to seeing what happens this afternoon.

Always thinking of you and praying this is the one.
