My final TTM transfer is supposed to happen by 8:30am tomorrow morning. Can I transfer at just after midnight instead? What exactly is the timing for hitting the 12 day counter? They started TTM at 3:30pm on the first day.

You can transfer earlier but not later. If you transfer earlier, you will be adding additional transfers to the prescribed system of 4 transfers, once every 3 days. You could transfer daily x12 if you wanted, but you shouldn’t go longer than 72 hours between transfers.

That’s not quite what I’m asking. Fish went in on day 1 at 3:30pm. First Transfer happened at 11:30am on day 4. Second transfer happened at 9:15 on day 7. Third transfer happened at 8:30am on day 10 which was on Thursday. So the final transfer has to happen by 8:30am tomorrow so it doesn’t go over 72 hours. But when is the SOONEST the final transfer can happen? Can the transfer happen any time after you pass the original start time on the 12th day (3:30 today in this case)? Or do you really have to wait until the next calendar day? On the 13th day

There is no right answer. If you want to go by the system that someone out there made up, you do 12 days, transferring at the same time every 3rd day. TTM is not 100% effective, nothing truly is. Every transfer that is performed increases your chance of success. I believe that at this point, cutting a few hours off the final transfer is not going to make much of a difference.

1. Transfers need to occur every 72 hours OR less, NOT more
2. The total number of days to pass should be 12 OR more, NOT less
3. A minimum of four transfers is required, with more required if doing transfers more frequent than every 72 hours
4. Time of day of transfers does not matter, provided no more than 72 hours elapse between transfers (ignore what you think you know or have heard about mornings being required)
