Single transfer?

[Anonymous]

I'm scheduled for a single transfer of a pgs tested embryo. Now I'm doubting whether I should have one or two transfered. Insurance will only pay for one. Fwiw I'm 32.

Do only 1. Twins are no joke. You hear and see all the happy stories. You don't hear about all the miscarriages and stillbirths due to twins+ pregnancy. As someone who had a stillbirth (not due to twins), it's a kind of pain I wouldn't want my worst enemy to go through. I have a child now but I still cry over my lost baby.

Not worth the risk!!!

Can you freeze the others and use them later? I had my only 2 embryos transferred, simply because they were not able to be frozen. It was the right choice. Only one implanted.

I would just transfer one.

Transfer 1. Not only are there risks as PPs mentioned, but what if there is a uterine issue and they don't take? You just used 2.

This is a good point. Something similar happened to friends. I'm so sorry for your loss and what you went through.

A pgs normal at 32? Not even a question. Transfer one.

I transferred one normal at 38.

Twins are serious business on every level. Do not mess with it.

Add me to the twin mom list saying transfer one - my much-wanted pregnancy almost killed me.

OP, what does your doctor recommend? I've gone through 3 transfers (1 at 37, 2 at 39) and only did single transfers each time at the recommendation of my RE. All of them resulted in BFP, though the second resulted in an early M/C.
