    I wouldnt go by anything they do in the States - when i once asked FS how something as ridiculous as "Octo-mum" could possibly happen, he said its because they are so unregulated, that so many dodgy practices go on.

    I have no IUI experience, but with our IVF, FS would only put back 1 blasty. On our last cycle (which was cancelled due to natural BFP) i had convinced him that we should have 2 but he only agreed due to the fact i just turned 40 and time was running out. I think we would have signed a waiver for him to do that, and i would have been petrified of twins - not just being able to cope when they were born, but also the risks associated with carrying them.

    Good luck.j.

    We are CD7 today with 3 follies... 16.5, 16 and 13.5, with two smaller ones, 11 I think. We are having another scan on thursday (CD9) to check the two small ones haven't caught up, then triggering, IUI on Friday (CD10) hopefully with three follies. I'm nervous. 3 seems a lot...

    There was one cycle we DTD when we knew we had 3 follies but that was when we werent using IUI and I knew we had cervical factor so no real chance. This time I know IUI works for us so it's a much bigger risk.
