Transfer 1 or 2?

in Success after IF
DH and I are going to leap off the ledge and get started on the thaw process with our additional embryos. We transferred two the first time and had b/g twins. I'm not sure I want two sets of twins so I'm curious how many of you transferred just one with success (if any?) and how many of you transferred two but only one took?

    This is our fear of going through IVF again. We would transfer probably one, but one is all that took for us and we have twins. So we don't know what to do.

    After 2 failed IVFs of transferring 2, we transfered 3 and only 1 stuck. I would speak to the RE and see what he may suggest, egg quality can play a big roll on how many you decide to be transfered. Good luck!  
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

    We did 2 for our first FET and had one DD.  We did one for our last IVF and i am currently 21 weeks pg!

    I would say do one first, and see what happens. You could always do 2 again if necessary.

    I would only transfer one....I wouldn't want to do anything to increase risk of multiples.

    Both of our transfers we put two in--first was BFN and second was BFP with two embies, but lost one at 8 weeks.

    We are going to be the same situation.  WE are going to an FET next year and already have twins. I do NOT want twins again and so we are only transferring one. If it splits adn we have twins again, god help me....

    Our RE strongly recommended we transfer 1. We did so, and it took.

    I am a big advocate of only transferring how many you are comfortable with carrying.  Science hasn't been able to tell us why perfect embies don't stick and crappy looking ones turn into beautiful babies.  

    There is too much of an unknown factor.  Best of luck to you!!

    We haven't done a FET yet (looking at next summer), but we will only transfer 1.

    Echoing the others that I'm only comfortable transferring what I'd be comfortable having, which is one (unless that one embryo splits and that's beyond my control).

    After 20 months, 3 Clomid cycles and 4 IUI cycles, IVF #1 with ICSI = BFP!
