[quote=Anonymous]I would definitely eSET in your position, Since this is your first cycle, you don't have a reason to think that eSET won't work for you. Additionally, like other posters have pointed out, a twin pregnancy comes with MANY more risks than a singleton, which is exactly why your RE is recommending eSET. I understand that you are probably thinking "We get two for the price of one," but the risks are often glossed over. Some studies have shown that up to 50% of twin births occur preterm, and NICU is something you want to avoid at all costs (speaking as someone who has dealt with NICU - hardest thing I have ever had to do). You are also at increased risk for issues such as IUGR during the pregnancy.

I found out the hard way that my body couldn't handle a twin pregnancy, and I was 27 at the time of transfer, so I was an "ideal" candidate. I transferred 2 on my second cycle after my first cycle failed, and both took. We ended up losing one twin around 12 weeks. That loss ended up being a blessing in disguise - my daughter started having growth issues in the second trimester and was diagnosed with IUGR in the third. My water broke at 33+6 and she was born at 34 weeks exactly. She had infant respiratory distress syndrome and was in the NICU for a month. She is thankfully now very healthy. However, our MFM told us that had the twin pregnancy continued, there is a good chance we would not have any baby here at all - and many women don't get the happy ending I did (one of those women posted before me in this thread - I am so sorry for your loss PP). I am SO incredibly thankful that my daughter is here.

I strongly urge you to take your REs advice and do eSET. If we ever decide to go back to SG for another baby, I will only be transferring one at a time, even with FETs. My goal is to come home with a healthy baby, and that is the best shot.[/quote]
