Does the day of embryo transfer influence how many embryos to transfer?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 09/13/2018

Yes, since blastocysts (day 5-6 after fertilization) are more likely to attach to the uterine lining, as they are synchronized with the uterine lining and allows for a more accurate selection process. Thus, if we transfer two class A blastocysts, they will have higher chances of implanting than two class A embryos on day 3.
