WWSAIFD? re: upcoming FET

huskerchica

I posted a few days back that IVF #1 was a BFN.  We did a SET as we already have twins.  Now we are preparing for a FET.  We have 15 embies, so we are in great shape.  My RE sort of hinted at doing 2 for the FET but said it was completely up to DH & I.  So my question is, how many would others transfer?

We really want just one baby....but we were so heartbroken with our BFN earlier this week.  I just really don't want to go through that all again.  I hate that $$ is a factor, but we're just spending so much on this b/c we're OOP.  I know in the long run, it's nothing compared to having twins...

We would be okay with twins again, although it would really changes our lives and would be really tough.  I just wonder if doing 2 would increase our odds any.  We could do another SET and then if that didn't work try 2 next time.  Just really not sure.....

 WWYD? TIA!!

Maybe do 1 SET FET, and then on #2 if need be go to 2 embies? Also you may find that they all don't thaw, so if they need to weed through some, that may give you an idea to try 2?

Personally, I would do a SET for the first FET.  I would put two in either the second or third time around, if need be.  Hopefully there won't be a need for a second or thrid one though!

I wouldn't plan too far ahead.. but I would only do one at a time.

Yes, BFNs are a PITA, cycling is a PITA... but none of that compares having the potential of dealing with 2 babies in the NICU with 2 toddlers at home.

I personally would do a single transfer first because of what orangesmoke said. I def get the oop, time and emotional factor though.

I wish we had done a SET in some ways.  The twin ride has been tough.  But at the same time, I can't imagine not having one of them.  I guess if I didn't know any better.  Anyway, the daycare costs of one year alone would have paid for a SET.

BUT, mine were frozen 2 to a straw, so that would have made the decision for me. I wish I had known to do them one at a time when they were frozen.

I am transfering 2, they are frozen in pairs, but I am okay with having twins again. I am ready to do all 4 after coming off a BFN and a c/p
