Of course, had we known that we were going to end up with so many blastocysts, we would not have done a fresh day 5 transfer. We would have biopsied that one and frozen it with its siblings. Ugh! My husband was pretty pissed about what he perceived as a rushed last-minute decision without any input from a doctor that turned out to be wrong. I pointed out that it was as much an emotional decision as anything. I make decisions by weighing regrets. And at the time of the decision I decided the potential for regret was larger by not doing the fresh transfer. So, sure, knowing what we know now I would have made a different decision. But I can’t regret making decisions based on information I did not know and could not have known. Oh well.
We generally used the same protocol each time, and I generally responded the same each time, although my last one ended up being my best one! (If history were any indicator we would have ended up with 2 blastys.) Here’s my info below:

We did biopsy the remaining five, and we’ll get those results in about a week.
