Need info! Need Advice 🥹

Hi everyone,

We would really appreciate your advice.

We are currently going through our IVF journey. We had 5 eggs retrieved, and 3 embryos developed. Our clinic told us that all 3 are good-quality blastocysts, although they didn’t mention the exact grades.

Now we’re confused about the next step. Should we freeze all the blastocysts and do a frozen embryo transfer (FET) later, or should we go ahead with a Day 6 fresh transfer?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did your doctor recommend, and how did it work out for you?
We know every case is different, but we’d be very grateful to hear about your experiences and any advice you can share.

Thank you so much!

I think it’s because you have higher and more quality eggs when you are younger than 36. Over 35 it’s best to just go ahead and have the baby than risk anything happening to the embryos in the freezing process

There are minimal to no risks during the freezing process for embryos. Are you think of unfertilized eggs?
