Day3 or day5 PGD?

[tiger-cub]

Ladies I need a little info.

Which day PGD is more beneficial Day3 or Day5

Or it doesn’t matter at all ?

[Fingerscrossed38]

I would say 5 day blastocysts are always stronger as they've made it through more stages.

Day 5

No I think I’m not clear enough.

My question is PGD done on day 5 or day3. How are they both different?

[Fingerscrossed38]

My clinic likes to get them to develop to 5 or 6 day blastocyst stage before testing. They are stronger at 5 than at 3 so I'd always opt for testing of 5 day embryos

While I know that PGS and PGD testing are not the same thing, the HFEA website outlines that at least for PGS testing, day 5 is far better.
