How Many To Transfer?
"IntSo often I am asked by Intended Parents how many embryos should be transferred. Time and time again I explain to them that their IVF Physician will talk to them on the morning of the transfer. During this meeting, the IVF Physician will discuss the quality of the embryos they have.
If Intended Parents go into the transfer without preconceived ideas of how many embryos they want used, then I think there would be less chance for anyone to be disappointed. If your embryos are of high quality, you will transfer fewer of them.
I recently read an article about a 31 year old woman in Manhasset, New York who gave birth to identical triplets. She used IVF, had one (1) embryo transferred and that embryo split to be triplets. So although they were being conservative about the number of embryos transferred, they still ended up with a high-risk multiple pregnancy.
Lets not forget why we're doing this....for a baby.
