Single embryo transfers are not always the best option because transferring more than one embryo increases pregnancy chances, says the Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. Norbert Gleicher. Learn more about IVF at: goo.gl/9Wfqb3
I just had my first IVF done. Two embryos retrieved that were grade 2 in day 3 (9 cells or more), pretty good, but the lab had them until day 7 and then we got news that blastocysts were developmentally arrested. So I had none! Now my dc gives me an option to freeze on day 3 instead (I need to finish up 3 IVF cycles as a package). And I asked her about it before IVF too... now I lost two embryos:( so in my next two IVF cycles they will freeze on day 3 and transfer two embryos together. Would that work for me who is DOr and 41?
Hi, I am 30 year old going for ivf for the first time. Recently my doctors retrieved 14 eggs and on day 3 I have got 9 matured eggs. On day 5 the count dropped to 4. 2 are in grade 1 1 more is in grade 3 and 4th embryo is poor. They have put me in dilemma to decide whether I can go for single embryo transfer or multiple embryo transfer. They said single embryo transfer has 35% success rate and multiple embryo transfer has 45% success rate of pregnancy with 20% chance of conceiving twins and 80% chance of conceiving single child. I am unable to decide which one I have to go for. Please help me in making decision!
