Doing IVF - is a 3 day or 5 day transfer more desirable and for those who have done IVF at Cornell, do you know which is more prevalent? I know some programs favor one over the other... TIA. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

they like 3 day transfers unless you have a lot of eggs. You will always find a mix of opinions on this topic. NYU likes 5 day transfers. [ Reply | More

You don't have a choice. They want to do 5 day transfers because it decreases the odds of having multiples. You also want a 5 day because the wait until beta day is shorter! 5 day is a great result because it means the embryos looked good and were plentiful enough to let them go past day 3. That said, 3 day transfers are more prevalent because they're not always willing to take that chance, especially if you don't have a ton to work with. 5 day also means that in all liklihood you'll have some to freeze. Just do what they say. Don't jump for joy if they tell you day 5 and don't worry if they have you come in on day three. Actually, with my son they told me it would be a 5 day transfer and then called me on day three and told me to come in. Obviously things weren't looking as good as they had. And he's 6 now. So don't worry. They're the best. GL. [ Reply | More

Thanks. Dumb question but how does Day 5 decrease the odds of having multiples? [ Reply | More

Day 5 transfers decrease the chance of multiples because they transfer fewer embryos because there's increased liklihood of any one implanting. With me they tended to transfer 5 on day 3 and 3 on day 5. I was 39. To them multiples are not the desired result. As a mother of twin daughters, off the record I'd have to agree! [ Reply | More
