All that said, I personally would not be comfortable transferring more than two embryos. There is still a chance even one embryo can split, and you could wind up with high order multiples if you transfer three or more. If you do decide to go down that path, make sure you and your husband discuss your thoughts around selective reduction, if it may be necessary for the safety of the mother or babies. [/quote]

They’re going to put back six for me. The doctor gave me the success stats per embryo at my age and I guess she feels like the risk is low for multiples. [/quote]
SIX, that is nuts! I had two untested put in at 41 and ended up with twins and a late-term miscarriage which was terrible (both fetuses were chromosomally normal so that wasn't the issue; it was the stress of twins on my body, so far as anyone could tell). Please, please don't let them do this. No more than two. I can't believe any reputable doctor would actually recommend more than two, my God. Also, if you would consider TFMR, think about if 2-3 (or more) stick, one (or more) is abnormal, and then you need to risk a partial termination process. The FET process is so much easier than a full cycle is; I really think it makes sense to transfer fewer at a time and go back for an FET if you're not initially successful.[/quote]
