[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can say from very recent experience that Shady Grove is now advising against transferring two embryos (I’m mid-thirties, though,  so cannot speak for the 40+ patients).[/quote]

I wonder if it’s really about the risks, or if they are realizing that their two for one promotion wasn’t as profitable  :roll:

Seriously though, I do wonder if it’s economically driven vs risk aversion. I know PPs have mentioned the risks and anecdotal experience, but I will add that my anecdotal experience is that I know many, many twins via IVF (elementary age through high school) and they are mostly all fine. [/quote]

If there is an entity that is anti-twin for profit reasons its insurance companies.  NICU charges and complications for the mother get pricey fast and they cannot create plans without coverage, like they have with IVF. I think the insurance companies bring pressure to bear on professional associations and in turn doctors to avoid twins at all costs. The ranking of outcome look like this:

Singleton birth

No birth
