Jana (the head nurse) called last night and we discussed a lot of options. Ok, maybe not a lot of options.....just the only options we pretty much have. She said we could do a 3dt (day transfer) on Sat. or we could do a 5dt on Monday. I asked her personal opinion and what she would recommend. She said that she would suggest a 5dt just because if they don't make it till then they wouldn't have lasted in me anyway. She didn't mean to be rude in saying it, it is just what the likelyhood is. I understand that isn't the consept for ALL embryo's or ALL situations it is just the general trend they have found to work best. Sooooo, they are going to look at our little babies on Sat. and call us and let us know how they are doing. She said if they are ALL looking great they would take some of them and freeze them and let the others go to 5dt. If they looked ok but not great they would let them all go till Monday and we would pick the best ones.
I am really freaking out at this point. I have done nothing but worry (which I know isn't good) or cry (which also isn't good) or just be paranoid. I am doing my best to try and stay positive, 6 is a GREAT number, and they are in the best hands money can buy. They are getting their rest for the long journey ahead. Come on baby......lets stay strong for mommy!
For all those wonderful ladies who have been following my journey do any of you know what the odds of an embryo making it to a 5dt are? (1 in 3, 1 in 7? any general idea???)

I don't know the odds, but really I've heard that waiting till day 5 is best. I know it must be nerve wracking!!! but hang in there!
Awesome news on the 5dt! That's what you wanted...I'm so happy for you!!!
Hi there, I did a 5 day transfer at the U of U. I am now 3 months pregnant with twins. They only implanted two and they both took. Good luck, I know exactly what you are feeling, if you haven't seen the secret dvd I highly recommend it. It will help!
With the improvement in culture medium for blastocyst culture, most data shows on average 40-50% of embryos will grow to blastocyst stage. Obviously this can vary widely depending on individual couples.
Myself, I am a big fan of 5dt. Hopefully your embryos will continue to grow like champs.
Good luck!
