Just had 2nd FET - Embryos look better this time!

Post by Torrie »

Hi! Just had my second FET, after the first failed in late January. My RE was more hopeful this time, saying that the embryos looked really good. We had 3 left, thawed all 3 and 2 survived so we transferred them both.

Question - they were 5 day blasts. When would implantation typically occur if all goes well?

Thanks!

Hi,
The research I hv come across has been a little bit vague .."embryo reaches blastocyst stage 5 days after fertilization and starts to break out of its outer shell 48 hours later. Only then can it implant. How soon this happens depends on stage of the embryo"...not particularly helpful huh??
