were any of you egg or embryo transfers?

shewolf576

Trying to decide how many embryos to transfer.  The RE said there was a slim chance of twins if we used 2 embryos.  So I figured this would be a good place to ask.Has anyone here concieved twins with embryo transfer or egg donation?  If so how many did you transfer???? Thanks

I transferred 3 frozen embryos. One stuck and split into identical twins. They were day 6 embryos.

We transferred two five day embryo's which resulted in our twins. We had a 70 chance of success and of that 50 chance that both would take.

If you only want one transfer only one!

I am pregnant with twins after a 5 day - 2 embryo transfer.

Transferring 2 gave us 50% chance of pregnancy, 20% chance of twins. Transferring only 1 gave us 25% chance of pregnancy. 

We are very excited that both took!

We did IVF and had 1 viable embryo. It split after our 5dt and I'm pregnant with identical twins.

We transferred two 5 day blasts and are expecting twins this summer. Good luck with whatever you decide!

We did two rounds of IVF when TTC #1 and one FET when TTC again. Each time we transferred two based onthe advice of our RE. Here were our results. IVF #1 - two transferred, pg with a singleton, had a m/c. IVF #2 - two transferred, pg with a singleton, had

elizabeth0705

We transferred two five-day embryos. We were told that we had a 40-45% probability of the IVF working, and of that, a 25% probability of twins (I think...?). Our RE thought there was a good chance we'd end up with twins, and he would not let us transfe

All of my stats are in my siggy.  I will say that for us the number we transferred was a function of embryo/blastocyst quality and what cycle we were on (IVF 1, 2, or 3).  For example, IVF 1 we put in 3 on day 3, but they were all sh!t, like

Your are definitely going to get biased answers here since we all have multiples. PAIF is a great place to ask.

You have to talk to your RE and factor in - how many IVF's you have or are willing to try, what the embryo quality looks like, how man

We had 3 embryos left on day 5. One was a lesser quality and probably wouldn't survive a freeze. I felt like I couldn't leave that little embryo out on it's own so we transferred all 3 embryos. Two took. Now we have boy/girl twins due June 7th and couldn'

Ann003

We transferred 2 Day 5 embryos. We had 8 high quality embryos. We were given an 80 chance of IVF working if we transferred 2, with a 50 chance of twins if it worked. DH and I didn't think it would work since everyone thought IUIs would work too, so we tr

Reading your sig, I wonder if maybe you meant to ask if anyone used donor eggs or donor embryos?

We used donor embryos. The couple was known to us; they offered, in fact. They had 5 good quality blasts left after a round of IVF for seconda

RobinR91

Totally agree that your perception will be off from asking uswe all have multiples! But, sometimes it doesn't matter what you do. We very cautiously transferred one grade AB embryo on day 5. My RE wanted to avoid multiples "at all costs" for me. My embryo

I posted on both the IF, third party and twin board.  (Most of us on IF are still trying) and those that did have twins are here. I will look at the other 2 boards as well.  Just gathering info for our transfer I am leaning to 2 embryo

I am fine with multiples.  In fact were foster parents and have always been open for 2.  Our 3 year old went to relatives after 18 months and we have a 20 month old that is going to relatives in May.  I have enough stuff from fostering t

we always wanted 2 kids this has not changed over our ten years of marriage.  I am youngest girl of 9 husband is youngest boy of 9.  Because of my Primary POF we never had a chance to try. This is the one shot we have

meganfauer

One of my best friends is pregnant with twins using donor eggs. She transferred 2 blasts on Day 5 and they both took. 

I so hope that this works for you. We got lucky and it finally worked for us with our own eggs and sperm, but we were very

We transferred 3 embryos. The RE was very sure only one would take, if we were lucky. All 3 took.

Transfer as many as you are willing to carry. Carrying twins is higher risk, so research, research, research. 

Siennalady

We transferred 3 on day 5 and I'm now 9 weeks pregnant with triplets.  My RE thought there was no way all 3 would take. I'm 40 and have had previous failed IVF attempts where 2 were transferred each time.  Good luck to you!!

egsquared

We transferred two embryos through IVF. We were very prepared to have twins. Both embryos took, and then one split which led us to be expecting triplets. I sometimes wish we had transferred one.

NetPetal

What my RE explained to us is that thanks to octo-mom there are now guidelines set for how many embryos can be transferred and it varies by the age of the egg donor (either yourself or a third party). 

We used a third party donor, transferr

PumpkinAndThePeanut

I think a lot of it depends on the quality of your embryos. My first IVF cycle, we transferred one good 5 day blast and one that was ok but whose cells were dividing more slowly. Only one took but unfortunately the pg was ectopic. On our second cycle, we

I was given a 60-80% chance of success with IVF and then 45-55% chance of twins. I transferred 2 5-day blasts and have fraternal twin girls. 

I love them dearly and would not trade them for the world. I cannot even imagine just having one of

We transferred THREE embies- on day 3.  Two excellent  8 cells and one good.  We were ok with the thought of triplets or twins, we got twins.  Given my age (39) and DH (42) and the fact we paid OOP and didn't want to do it again, is

Eriksgal

Did IVF and transferred 3 embies on day 5 that were "middle of the road" quality-only 2 were blasts.  RE said only 5% chance for triplets.
