Peter,
Hope you can answer a quick question for me. I am in the middle of an IVF cycle at present and egg collection is likely to be sometime the middle of next week with embryo transfer on day 2 or 3 depending on quality.
Can I ask your opinion on whether day 2 or 3 is best for ET. Last time (with different clinic) I had a Day 2 transfer as there was no choice given and that is the only day the consultant works. I had 3 embryos (I am a poor responder) all 2 cell and grades 1, 2 and 3 respectively (They grade 1-4). They refused to put 3 back and only implanted the 2 best ones and told us the other was not worth freezing but that the 2 implanted embryos were good and had every chance. We disagreed about the spare one and insisted it was frozen which eventually they did. After we failed the consultant told us that the embryos hadnt got much chance as they were only 2 cell!
The clinic we are with this time round is manned 7 days a week so they transfer day 2 or 3 depending on quality. All I would like to know is whether if quality looks good on Day 2 is it best to do it then even if only 2 cell or is it better to wait a day until they are more divided to give us a better chance. I know the answer is likely to be subjective but would appreciate your views.
Many thanks,
Allison
