Hello,
Thay say that blasts are usually better, becuase the embryos are more developed at that stage. However, there are a lot of women who have gotten pregnant with 3 or sometimes 2 day embryos. I am on my 2WW right now , we have trasfered four 3 day embies, i will let you know if it worked.

On each of my attempts I have had 2 -3 day embryops implanted. I was debating about asking them to do blasts this time, but in the end I decided to let them do their job and I'll do mine. My acupuncturist was surprised that they were not doing blasts as she said they are usually more successful.

Blast or 3 days

I think it depends on the clinic. Some clinics have better results with the 3 day and some with 5. Mine has a better result with 3 day.

Their philosophy is good embryos grow better in the uterus then in a culture.
