Day 5 Transfer

I am so torn right now-I am going in tomorrow for my transfer which will be on day 5. When we signed the consent forms we decided to transfer one embryo on day 5 or two on day 3. After the day 3 transfer was canceled, I was kind of depressed because the possibility of having twins wouldn't be there anymore. Now the Day 5 transfer is tomorrow, and all I keep thinking about is should be stick with one like we decided or ask for two. Has anyone dealt with this before that can put my mind at ease?

you may want to call your RE's office & check, they may have frozen the other embryo all ready. GL

Re: Day 5 Transfer

If it gives you any inspiration- I was pushed to a day 5 and due to possible OHSS, the Dr. persuaded me to only transfer 1 (my plan was 2 and I was devastated, thinking that I had cut my odds in 1/2- which the Dr. said is not true- it decreases your chances by 2% only according to her) I am now 13 weeks pg w/ a singleton...Before you make yourself crazy, as the other posters said, see that the others haven't been frozen yet...Also my mind-set, after I became more rational- was that if I didnt get pg. on that transfer, at least I would have another excellent quality blast to do a frozen transfer with, instead of the risk of neither taking and having to do a whole 'nother fresh cycle...Good Luck , with whatever you decide !!!

Re: Day 5 Transfer

Thank you for all of your responses. I also have a mild case of OHSS, which started on Saturday. Fortunately I feel much better today. I emailed the doctor to see what my embryos look like, he is very good at returning messages.

Re: Day 5 Transfer

We didn't have to make a decision today, RE recommended putting back two embryos-so that's what we did. All that stress yesterday for nothing. thanks for all of your input!
