IVF Success Rates with 5 Day Blastocyst Transfers at the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago
IVF success rates with blastocyst transfer
High quality day 5 blastocyst stage IVF embryo
Blastocyst grading
- 5 day blastocyst transfer success rates are potentially confusing
- Almost all clinics that do extended embryo culture and blastocyst transfer IVF are selective in choosing patients eligible for it.
- Patients selected for blastocyst transfer tend to be younger and have more embryos that look better under the microscope (better embryo “quality”)
- Therefore, we should expect success rates to be higher in this selected population as compared to the rates in “unselected” patients.

Here are our live birth success rates for day 5 blastocyst transfer cases:
We have done blastocyst culture and transfer since 1998. We see significantly higher blastocyst implantation and pregnancy rates as compared to what we see with day 3 embryos.
Below are in vitro fertilization live birth success rates at our fertility clinic with fresh embryos according to the day of the embryo transfer procedure and female age.
