Do day 5 or day 6 blasts do better with an FET?

I think that is the million dollar question, and I think that every RE has their own opinion! My RE only does Day 5 and Day 6 blastocyst transfers for FET cycles. Her theory is that only the strongest embryos survive to the day 5 or day 6 point. We had 10 frozen embryos that were all day 2 and day 3 embryos at the time of the freeze. My RE thawed all 10 of them on Monday, and out of the 8 that survived the freeze, only 2 made it to blast stage and were transferred yesterday. One day 5 and one day 6. The rest of the embryos stalled out at day 4 and never made it to blast stage. My RE said that that may have been what occured with my fresh cycle last month since we put in 3 day embryos. She is thinking that this cycle will be more successful. I think she will be right! =)

Good luck to you! When is your transfer?

I hope this is ist for you!! maybe you'll get 2 out of the deal! Don't know when my transfer is-we have a phone consult with the RE tomorrow-we just had our BFN on the 4th:(

So sorry about your BFN Joie=(. Hopefully your FET will be exactly what you need to get your BFP! FX!

I am very hopeful that this one worked for us - thanks for your warm wishes for a BFP!!! I would LOVE to get 2 out of the deal - it would be an instant family and we would be done! That would be perfect!!!

Good luck hun!!!
