I am currently undergoing an IVF cycle which has had numerous set backs. I was a poor responder with only 2 follicles >1.7cm, but 6 eggs were retrieved - clearly some from smaller follicles. My husband had difficulty on the day of oocyte retrieval and his sample had to be obtained via PESA. 5/6 eggs were injectable. 3 fertilized.
When the lab called me today they stated that my Dr has decided already that I will have a day 5 transfer. I am concerned about this for many reasons. First of all, I think our chances of success are already low based on my poor response, using PESA sperm and my history of recurrent pregnancy loss (4 miscarriages in the last 2 years).
Is there any benefit of Day 3 vs Day 5 transfer in my situation? I realize that the Day 5 transfer will give more information about the quality of the embryos, however we are most interested in having a baby in the end.
I have seen many conflicting opinions on this. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
