It is preferable to perform a PGD on day 5, when the embryo is in the blastocyst stage, since it is more developed and allows a greater number of cells to be analyzed, which improves the diagnosis and reduces the possibility of error.
Furthermore, the cells biopsied in the blastocyst are from the trophoectoderm, the external part of the embryo, so all the cells that will give rise to the future fetus are preserved intact.
