in the UK we are only allowed to transfer 2 if you are under 40yrs, my clinic only do 2 day transfers and i am pregnant with twins.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

I tend to be on the aggressive side, although it doesn't seem to be helping...I know that it all depends on how many/grade etc. Ideally (I hate to even say that) I hope to have enough to go to day 5 and have 3 transferred if my RE will agree. I guess I am a gambler...

2 if they are tip-top or pretty darn swell! and 3 only if they are really not looking like fighters - my RE wants to do 3 for sure- if we get 'em that is...

but I am apprehensive as I know 3 would be extremely difficult for me to carry (wretched back surgeries - and for heaven's sake - I only have 2 boobs!!! heehee) and I don't think that I could do a reduction after all this crap we've been going through to get BFP in the 1st place -
so, there it is- no idea- 2 or 3 - I think the best thing is to wait to see how they're doing in the lab before we really make our decision
best of luck making yours!

BFP's all around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My RE wanteed to transfer 3 i insisted on 4 - it was my first ivf and i wante to get pregnantdidnt care if i had 2 etc...... i did transfer 4 all great quality - all 3 day (2-10cell 1-9cell and 1-8 cell)

One stuck i am 9w4d pregnant- maybe it was the extra one i insisted on...lol

I am also 40 approaching 41 so obviously it was easier for me to be more aggressive

2 @ 3 days

Post by kbear4211 »

The plan was 3 @ 3 days or 2 @ 5.

I only had two fertilize, and they were both good, so we did 2 @ 3 days, RE states they do better in us than the lab.
