in TTC after 35

that you have or would be willing to transfer back? Are you scared of multiples? In August we transfered 3 back and none took, yesterday we transferred 4 back. I am happy with hour decision but still a little nervous. It was a Day 3 Transfer. Had it been a Day 5 Transfer-Re would have never transferred 4.

    I just had 4 embryos transferred too.  I am ok with that number because of my age (over 40).  I think it depends more on age than on anything else.  I wouldn't want 4 embryos if I was in my 20's or early 30's.  Cornell will max out at 5 for someone who is over 42.  I think that sounds about right - anything more is insane!

    I had 4 transfered on day 3 for my fresh cycle and 3 for my frozen.  Based on the guidelines that are set up for my age and FSH range that was the max.  After the 3 day transfer we found out that 3 out of the 4 left had made it to freeze we became a little nervous about the 4 that we transfered....but that ended in a CP.  At my age (39)  would do it the same way if I had to...the risk of multples is scary but I figure the chances are so slim for that happening.

    Thanks ladies. I will be 39 in January so I felt comfortable with 4. Good luck to you girls too.

    I know age is what they set the guidelines for but I have tx four 2x, once resulted in a chemical (I was 33) and the next resulted in this pregnancy (I had just turned 34). I tx 3 perfect between those two cycles, bfn. You should be a-ok with 4 at age 39 but there is always a risk of multiples.
