[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, absolutely not on the first round. If it doesn't stick then maybe next time. Twins risk your health and your babies. If you are ok with a long bedrest, NICU stay and possibly special needs then go for it.[/quote]

+1. I transferred two on my first round, because I was almost 42 and they weren't tested so I figured I'd be lucky if one stuck. I also feared having to go through such an extensive process again if one didn't take. Both implanted but were ultimately born so premature that neither survived. On top of that, post-birth complications damaged my uterus such that I later found I could no longer carry a child at all. When I later did an FET (unsuccessful for those medical reasons, but we didn't know that at the time) I was shocked how much faster and easier (and cheaper) it was. If I had realized that earlier I never, never would have implanted two. I still feel a pang when I see twins - though I know several happy families with IVF twins which is great - but the risks are real and just aren't usually worth it, in my opinion at least.

Good luck, whatever you decide![/quote]
