Has anyone had experience with day 6 embryos vs. day 5 embryos? I have a mix of each that have been biopsied, frozen, and undergoing PGT-A testing (haven't received the gradings yet).

I just received word that we made it to blastocyst stage! Huge relief since our first round of IVF resulted in a big fat 0.

In my situation, all three of my eggs reached blastocyst stage on day 6, and embryologist assured me this is good news. I did get grading the day they froze them to ship off to PGT testing, one is a 6BB and two are 5BB…my doctor says B is for Beautiful. Again filling me with hope and optimism that these are a chance for us to achieve a healthy pregnancy in the near future.

So while none of my eggs were day 5 blasts, it sounds like day 6 isn’t necessarily bad news by comparison?

Thanks, I will update this thread tomorrow afternoon as I have an appointment with my doctor to discuss these results.

Day 5 blastocyst vs. Day 6 blastocyst*

What’s on your mind? You mean success with implantation of Day 5 vs Day 6?

No difference between day 5 or 6 but implantation is a whole different conversation. Not everyone is successful the first try with a euploid, age and other health condition are sometimes factors.

I’ve read there’s no difference between day 5 and day 6 outcomes.

My RE told me that there is not a strong difference between day 5 and day 6. Only when it comes to day 7, success rates drop off.

Update: my RE said that day 5 blastocysts are a little better than day 6 blastocysts, but the primary factor that should be looked at is if they're genetically normal (from PGT-A testing).

Anyone have tips for a successful FET? I had two failed FETs last year, but finally gearing up for another FET in a few weeks and having mixed emotions. Worried that we’ll have the same outcome as before, but also hopeful that *maybe* this will be the one that works for us. Differences vs. last year: had a myomectomy to remove a submucosal fibroid and switched clinics to a RE that I think is great / trust much more than my prior doctor (also had 3 more ERs at this new clinic). Thanks!
