What happened to "only transfer as many as you are willing to carry"?  I'm new to these boards, and honestly, I'm stunned at the stone throwing.  If you transfer several and get multiples and have to do a selective reduction, you get massacred for transferring more than you were willing to carry.  If you're scared of multiples and only want to transfer one, you get massacred for being "ludicrous."  One would think that those of us going through these difficult decisions would try to be more supportive of each other.

OP, in your situation I would transfer as many embryos as you get; it's unlikely that you will end up with healthy multiples, but if you do, there is the option of selective reduction.  It's not a perfect solution (there's a chance that it can damage the surviving embryo) but transferring several and keeping the selective reduction option open is the course that is most likely to work with your own eggs at this age.  Good luck--I'm just a few years younger, and in the same boat.[/quote]
