Second opinion - Day 4 FET of day 5 blastocyst
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2018 4:17 pm
Hello and thank you for this blog.
I am currently using an IVF whereby I have had reasonable success so far.
I conceived naturally and had a perfectly healthy baby when I was 40. At 41/42 I had two rounds of IVF and collected 25 eggs. At 43 I went ahead with fertilisation and on Saturday, 4 days after natural ovulation, I had an FET of a genetically tested 5 day blastocyst. (FYI 10 oocytes defrosted successfully, ICSI successfully fertilised 9, but only 1 made it to be a good 5 day blastocyst).
I have two questions relating to this.
1. Does genetic testing bring about early hatching due to the breaking of the shell to access cells? If so, how quickly can this occur?
2. Was the uterine wall ok for successful attachment/implantation on day 4 (if the hatching occurs shortly after FET)?
Within a couple of hours of the transfer I started to feel some pain (burning feeling), but am worried that my body wasn't ready.
Much appreciated.
