No, no, no..... don't count that much. They look at the cell growth and determine what's best. Actually they are growing so nicely that they are taking the risk for them to grow into full blastocyst (which actually has different stages) so the uterus takes them when it is ready.... it is good :) ..... most of the time a 5 day transfer is more succesful than a 3 day one.
Keep the faith!!!
TONS OF BABY DUST YOUR WAYYYYYY!!!!
hi
dont know alot but in all 3 of my attempts they have counted the day of retrieval as day 1. they tell me to do my bloods 14days from retrieval.
they seem to be leaving it a long time. but ive always had day3 transfers.
just keep your fingers crossed they must know what they are doing and dont think the worst...
good luck for friday
fingers crossed for you!!
Thanks! This process is so crazy. One minute I'm sure it's going to work and the next I'm sure it's not going to work.
Good luck to all of you, too : )
i had my ER on Saturday and my ET on Tuesday for my 3 day transfer, so mine counted to ER day as day 0.....
try to relax :)
I had retrieval on a Monday and a 5 day transfer that Saturday. My RE counts the retrieval as Day 0. Guess they're all different but you have to trust your RE is doing what's best based on what he's seeing. Don't worry. If they had concerns, they'd likely go sooner, so nothing sounds unusual about your REs protocol.
if they push it out it means they can handle the lab environment and still grow. it's okay. don't count days count the babies :)
My RE also counts the day of retrieval as day 0. Seems like your RE is doing what mine did. 5 days after retrieval day. I think on retrieval day they get fertilize with sperm and then consider the next day when cells start to multiply as day 1. I know how stressful this is. Each day when my RE would call with an update,i would be a basket case. One day he was like- you sound so stressed. I said, i am! he then assured me there is nothing to stress about. It's not even in your hands anymore. Don't worry. i bet this works for you! Things are sounding really good. good luck!!!

Thanks you guys! You made me feel so much better. And you're right, it's not in my hands anymore...
day 3 or day 5, either days are good. they'll still produce babies. just think... as long as you get a BFP at the end... that is that matters, right?
so just relax and think positive (BFP coming your way).
GOOD LUCK!
You will be fine - it's a great sign that those embies are growing stronger!!! I had my egg collection on Sunday, and had two replaced today, Wednesday, so I had a Day 3 transfer. Collection was considered Day 0, so in my books you're on track for a Day 5 transfer - perfect!!! It's obviously just something particular to some clinics!!
ALL THE BEST!!!!
hi .. my first round of ivf I had a day 5 transfer after retrieval on the weds and transfer on monday so that made retrieval day 0 so you're all good ... it's pretty common now to wait and see how the little ones develop before transferring .. good luck!!
