    I actually read recently too that the success rates (in terms of take-home baby) have narrowed between single blast and double blast transfers to such an extent that many clinics believe that there is no justification for a double blast transfer when there are so many possible complications that can arise from a multiple pg.

    I think there is now a push to limit transfers of blastocysts to 1 per transfer in some circles, and esp if the success rate of a single transfer becomes comparable to a double transfer, I think 2 blast transfers will eventually be ruled out for all but those for whom there is substantial history of failure to implant.

    ETA posting same time as you miss_c! Great explanation re grade of embryos, but Hollywood is not licensed to transfer more than 1 blast per transfer, as far as I am aware, so as long as you're with Hollywood, Bec, you won't ever have a double embryo transfer.

    Also because they only transfer blasts, the possibility of twins is much higher than with Day 2 transfer.
