[quote=Anonymous]Do 1.  A no brainer at 28.  Shoot, I think it's the way to go, period.

I was 39 and transferred 2.  I wanted to transfer 1 but at 39 no one really thought that was normal!  Apparently only a few percent of 39-yr olds transfer one, most transfer 2, and a percentage greater than those that transfer 1 actually transfer 3.

Anyway, I lost one baby at 16 weeks (unexplained) and then the other, otherwise wonderfully healthy baby was born at 38 weeks but there was a slight mingling of the placentas, and so the baby got a blood clot, and had a massive stroke, probably just before or at birth (maybe when they cut the chord).  And unfortunately he died.

My situation is very rare (as are twin complications generally, but with twins, even though the complications are rare, they are still WAY more likely to happen than with a singleton), so I don't mean to scare you.  But twin complications happen and, in my case, I have great regret over not doing eSETs.  Because had I, I may have miscarried the 16-week baby still, but the otherwise healthy baby born at 38 weeks would have been fine had he been an eSET.

I'm pregnant again and this time I put in 1.

I have a friend who put in 2 as well, and both took.  While her babies seem fine now (7 months old), they were born under 5 lbs and had to be in the NICU for a week.  One of her babies seems to have some sort of physical/development issues (the smaller one), though I don't think anything major.  But it was the result of being a twin.

Best of luck.[/quote]
