day 6 transfer

Post by Kacie »

Anyone have a day 6 transfer? I always thought it was 3-5 days?

Day 6 transfers are common.

Some clinics schedule the transfer on a given day (like day 5) and transfer whatever is present that day, whether it became a blastocyst or not. They will transfer mostly blastocysts, but also some morulae (compacted embryos that have not yet blastulated). Morulae are difficult to evaluate/grade/score effectively.

Others wait until the blastocyst forms, day 5 or 6, and then do the transfer. These clinics will be sure that only blastocysts are transferred.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
