[quote=Anonymous]Pregnancy rate should be closer to 60-70% and live birth 50-60%.

But even with those stats, two PGS normals is more likely to lead to 1 baby than 2.

Practically-speaking, I'd say you should do another banking cycle if you want a 2nd. It's still possible to miscarry with PGS and that can delay things several months. And of course, actually getting pregnant delays things longer. You are relatively young in IVF world at 36, but 2 out of 9 normal isn't a great number. And it will probably feel like a relief to have enough embryos banked for two and only FETs (so much easier) going forward.

That said, IVF can be physical and emotional hell. If you just don't have it in you to try again immediately, that's okay. Go ahead and transfer one and see what happens. You can always do another IVF cycle between FET 1 and 2 if FET 1 doesn't work.

Someone told me to just focus on getting to baby #1 versus obsessing over having 2 and I think that's wise advice. Right now, you have no baby and a very tired body. If you can get to that first baby, you will have immeasurably more joy than you have right now. And then who knows... you may not feel as strongly about a 2nd, the second embryo banked may work, you may do another IVF later that works or you may make peace with DE for a 2nd. You can't really predict. But getting to 1 baby is going to feel so much better than where you are now.[/quote]
