[quote=Anonymous]Shady Grove was fine with limiting the number of eggs we fertilized. You're not required to fertilize all the eggs that are retrieved. They were also fine with waiting to transfer until the blast stage despite us not having a ton of embryos to begin with. We did IVF for a 3rd child and really didn't want left over embryos. We only fertilized 6 eggs and by day three, 4 were looking good. A reasonable course of action would be to transfer then. However, we continued to watch them grow and by day five another 3 slowed down and began to stop growing. By day 6 we had one left and we put it back. I ended up implanting. I'm not sure I would recommend this to everyone but we REALLY didn't want twins from this pregnancy and we really didn't want left-over embryos so we tried to maximize the natural attrition of embryos.[/quote]
