Firstly, the thawing processes have changed significantly in the past two years and the results at Sydney IVF are almost as good as fresh transfers so I think things have moved on a lot since we had 5 blasties in the fridge five years ago (all resulted in BFNs).
My second thought is what someone mentioned earlier - a nurse told me on my last cycle (where I had five super good eggs) that it is the quality of the egg that gets you to day three and from there on it's the energy in the sperm that gets things to day 5 where you need a big jump in cell divisions - from 8 to around 120 I think they said. So I'm guessing you've had your DH tested too? I sometimes feel all the attention is on us and as my DH still smokes, and has done throughout our 9 long years of TTC, when I found this information out I was devastated thinking of everything we'd been through - everything I'd been through - to get to this point. Unfortunately for me, it's an addiction I have no control over and I really don't know if he can quit. It's very hard to reconcile. Anyway, something to think about.
My last thought is this: my sister-in-law conceived on a day 3 transfer. Sometimes I wonder if the best environment for them is inside us, rather than in a lab!
All the best to you and your husband and fingers crossed you'll have your BFP very soon!
