We've gone through 9 already, and have 1 child and pregnant with the second (but 8 weeks, so who knows if it will ultimately be successful, I've learned not to bet on anything, sigh). Good luck to you, OP! I'm one of 3 siblings and think it's a great family size.
This is why you do ALL the testing before you transfer: ERA (uterine timing), thrombotic factors, etc.
It's no guarantee, but when you nail everything else, a PGS normal embryo is about a 75% chance of live birth.

I’m in my 40s, so I listened to the doctor and got 3, to be safe, before even trying for the first transfer. That first transfer is now my toddler, I’m currently pregnant from the second transfer, and I’m now unexpectedly agonizing a bit over the third (3 was never in our plans.) You really never know.

My 5 embryos yielded 2 chemical pregnancies, and 3 kids. These were not tested so a slightly different scenario than what you’re considering. Good luck!

I think 5 is plenty, 6 for peace of mind.

6-9
Go to CCRM and (unless you have something they are not used to seeing then 6 should be more than enough)

Took me six to get one take home baby. But 2-3 per child desired is probably more the average.

I'd say three per live birth, so at least nine. You very well may have extra, but you just don't know until you try transferring them.

If I want to have 3 children, how many normal tested embryos do you think I should freeze?
