how many embryos do you....

transfer??? Embryology called and as of right now all 11 are still going strong. She said I have "beautiful embryos" lol I of course had to make a joke of it and said "I bet you say that to all the ladies". I am so anxiety filled I needed to laugh for a minute!
She said she sees some starting to enter the blast stage already so she doesnt see there being any problem. She also said that because they are so "beautiful" they would recommend xfer only 1 embryo :(
hhhhmmmmmmnnnnnnn......
I was really planning on xfer 2. I know that puts me at a higher risk of twins but since I had already braced myself for the twins I was supposed to be having I don't think that would be SUCH a bad thing.
I just feel like if I only xfer 1 and it doesnt work then I will be mad at myself for not trusting my gut and xfering the 2 I had planned on, and if I do wind up with twins well then God really wanted me to have them after all I guess. I mean my friend xferred 3 and she is pregnant with a singleton.
I dont know I am so confused right now.

Accepting opinions here ladies!!!

Sorry for the long rant :(

I transferred 2 blasts and am pregnant with a singleton. I would stick with your gut and transfer 2 as you originally wanted to do. Chat Icon

Re: how many embryos do you....

They were originally supposed to transfer 2 with my DD's cycle but due to the quality blast she was (coupled with the fact I was at risk of OHSS) it was strongly advised to me to transfer only one because they were extremely confident we would be successful...

After much deliberation ( because my mind was set on 2) we transferred one and I knew they had my best interest in mind...

Also, with my frozen cycle we transferred on as well and were successful Chat Icon

Twin pregnancies do carry a higher risk as you know ( pre-term births etc) and ultimately RE's want you to have the least possible complications and a healthy "baby"...I guess they try to avoid multiples whenever possible Chat Icon

I transferred one and am currently pregnant. This is a personal choice.

Re: how many embryos do you....

It is a personal choice but if after transferring one and if that doesn't work you will have frozen blasts to try again. From the sounds of it you will have many blasts. Doing a frozen cycle is much less work and time than a fresh cycle.

I would go with your gut and your doctor's recommendations.

Having multiples is harder on your body and harder on the babies sometimes.

You could put 2 back and one or both could split and you end up with triplets or quads!

Just giving you another perspective.

Re: how many embryos do you....

If you have your heart set to having twins then not why put back two? Chat Icon My understanding is that both babies grow well in a twin pregnancy, it's anything beyond that that could be a problem. I would go with my gut feeling. Good Luck!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I would go with your gut, you just never know. We transfered 3 embryos and unfortunately none made it.

Good luck with whatever you choose!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
