[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your support ladies!

I forgot to ask...if I'm lucky enough to have 2 PGS normal embies next cycle, I may ask if I can transfer 2. Prior to my MC, I would have NEVER considered transferring 2.  But this was such an unexpected heartbreak. The waiting to start again is the worst part. I think I would rather take my chances with 2, which I know Dr. Khan was initially against. I will have to ask him about that, too...just wonder what everyone else's experience with SG and 2 embies was.[/quote]

It has been a long time since I had three pregnancies at SG. Fortunately, I responded very well to stims and had many frozen embryos (we did not do PGS testing) to work with. First pregnancy we transferred two and got pregnant with twins, who I lost at 20 weeks. Went through two more cycles months later, transferring one at a time with neither resulting in pg. Finally, on the third try, went on antibiotics and did acupuncture--transferred one embryo and now have a healthy teenager. Two years later, antibiotics, acunpuncture and one embryo turned into another successful pregnancy and now have healthy tween. I am no expert, especially since it's been a long time, but I would really recommend transferring one. Twins are just higher risk. I would push for the antibiotics and do acupuncture. I am convinced that was an important piece of the puzzle to keep my uterus relaxed, happy, and ready for implantation. Best of luck. Though it's been a long time, I remember quite well how sad and frustrating this process is.[/quote]

I also got pg with two PGS-normal embryos at SG and lost them just shy of 20 weeks. Following that late miscarriage I had to have a D&C that wrecked my lining so completely we've now had to move to using a GC. I completely understand wanting to implant two and obviously this was an unusual experience and a lot of women have very successful twin pregnancies...just to say, the risks are real. :( The couple months' time between FETs if the first one doesn't stick would have been far worth it, in my case at least. In the ensuing 2.5 years I've only gotten one more good embryo so we're now having to look at the distinct possibility of adding DE to the mix as well.[/quote]
