Blastocysts are more advanced embryos where they have shown their growth potential, which certainly also have a good potential to implant. We don't want to see multiple pregnancy (carrying twins or more); whether or not twins are "medically manageable", multiples pose risks on both the mother and the fetuses.
If an embryo is developmentally competent (good to give a live birth), laser hatching helps in cases where the "shell" is the only impediment to embryo implantation. Not a lot of labs do assisted hatching on blastocysts; you may need to express your wish to your doctor first.
不要洩氣,there must be a reason why your doctor doesn't do day5 for you. I can almost guess who your doctor is. Some doctors in this field are stubborn, and when they have good results with day2, it is very difficult to convince them to think and do otherwise. And if you have at least one good embryo in among all, you will eventually come to it, perhaps take a little more time. As professionals, other than knowledge and experience, we also have to balance patients' need to have an embryo transfer and time to achieve a pregnancy.
Really find your information useful and I should have read more before my IVF treatment. Any chance you could PM the names of lab that can provide embryo laser hatching? I am interested to know if my current lab can provide this technology so that I can discuss with my doctor next time! Thanks!

If you are in HK, I think all IVF labs have a laser to do assisted hatching.

Dear littletwinkle,
You have got the point already --> 如果可以縮短時間來achieve bingo, 不是很好嗎? 沒有potential的胚胎放入去都是無用和浪費時間吧！
Your doctor is correct that cumulative pregnancy rate will stay the same. However, as a woman who is desperate to have a child, I would want my bingo to happen now rather than later. If there is at least one good embryo compatible with a live birth, day5 can increase the chance of finding this embryo in among a batch of embryos. And if it is so unfortunate that there is none in this batch, at least I can find out sooner so that I can plan ahead.
While we think this way, we can't stop doctors and other patients think another way. Many old-schooled doctors still think that lab culture conditions are suboptimal to embryo growth and therefore, it is the lab causing an embryo to stop growing. There are also patients from different cultural or religious background who believe that life begins at fertilization and therefore, no embryo should be "de-selected". I respect one way or the other, and as long as the pros and cons are well-understood, a couple should have the right to be involved in the decision-making process.
hello baby0226,
Is this pregnancy from a transfer of fresh or frozen embryos?
There is no way to tell until your ultrasound next week whether you only have a biochemical pregnancy, a normal pregnancy, or an ectopic.
Don't think so much ahead about 人工流產yet, you don't even know what pregnancy you have. Since you are still very early in your pregnancy, the abortion process probably only involves taking some medication; only when medication can't do the job, surgery may be needed.
Let's take things one step at a time. From pregnancy to term delivery is a 9-month+ process. Even natural conception contains the same risks during the gestational period. I understand your worry, 準父母少不免都很多担心和苦惱,但有d位真的只可順其自然,放輕鬆心情吧!
Dear 夏兒 ,
I am very sorry to say that based on those numbers alone (and particularly your AMH), even if your doctor lets you start on ivf, your response to ovarian stimulation will be very poor. After seeing your report, I hope your doctor will still explain a little more of the results and also advise you of other options.
