If there are outstanding ones in there, they are going to pull them out. If they are all sort of the same, sometimes they wait until day 5. I have read many happy endings with either d3 or d5.

I'm just glad you guys are still in the game and want you to know that I'm rooting for you. I hope the transfer went smoothly, and I'll be sending good implanting vibes eastward.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826926847932274929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962997019010711624.post-80965381621433351642007-09-13T14:26:00.000-07:002007-09-13T14:26:00.000-07:00Thanks, DG, that makes sense and it is sort of wha...Thanks, DG, that makes sense and it is sort of what my feeble brain was making of his explanations. I didn't know the second stat you mention re: 1/4 of 3 day embryos going to blast stage...that's helpful and makes me think the good ones will continue dividing in there.

Their quality has nothing to do with the others... only a small % have the percentage to develop anyway... if your doc has been able to spot those ones for transfer, then things look good!<BR/><BR/>xxDrowned Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930956007436787200noreply@blogger.com
