Hi BB folk

My DH and I are seeking your assistance/advice/thoughts on the pros and cons of transferring either 1 or 2 embies tomorrow morning.

Briefly we are in our third IVF cycle and until now have only ever had 1 embie resulting from a cycle. This time we have 2 embies and because embies are better off in my belly than a petri dish the clinic wants to transfer tomorrow (Day 3) rather than growing out to blasts.

Our dilemma is they have offered us the choice of transferring 1 or 2 as I am 38 next month and to date haven't had great response to IVF. I know there are bigger risks associated with a multiple pregnancy and I am not sure if the odds are even better for a successful pregnancy with a transfer of 2 embies.

DH is worried if I only transfer 1 and it doesn't work that I will kick myself for not transferring the both of them.

There are so many issues associated with all of this that I am quite undecided and confused - but still excited that regardless I will have a ET tomorrow which is another big step towards a pregnancy!!!.

We also have the option of continuing to grow the two embies out to blasts and seeing which embie is the best option. The only benefit I can see with this is if I decide to only transfer the 1 then we increase the likelihood of getting the strongest one. But then again neither of them may survive to a blastie.

So many options and things to think about.....
