Your age is in your favor. Good luck! I also had one embryo transferred and successfully carried to term at age 37. My first and only successful pregnancy.

Definitely depends on your prognosis. I had a single embryo transferred and got pregnant on my first transfer.

I got pregnant on my first IVF cycle with a single embryo transfer, so I don't think it affects your chances!

Not sure if it hurts your chances, but we were also successful twice with an SET.

I think if you have a good prognosis, it does make sense.

NP. I've never understood this even though I know based on studies that this is true.


I think there may be a selection issue at play. It's not like they did a random control study, right? (I haven't really done the research, just trusted my RE when he wanted to only transfer one the first two times.)

OP, Shady Grove has some info that might interest you: https://www.shadygrovefertility.com/treatments-success/advanced-treatments/elective-single-embryo-transfer-eset

I wish more insurers had this policy!!! Twin pregnancies are so much riskier. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/health/11fertility.html

No, and it is much better to get pregnant with just one!

My insurance will only allow us to transfer one embryo the first and second cycles of IVF. Does this really hurt our chances?
