FET-How many embryos did you transfer?

happymomma10 · February 2012

How many embryos did you transfer on your successful FET cycle? Here is my history.. 31 yrs old, unexplained IF. IVF #1 BFP DS born, IVF #2 BFN, IVF #3 chemical, IVF #4 chemical again. I recently had a uterine polyp removed and I am gearing up to start our 1st FET cycle. We have 4 3 day embryos frozen of which 2 are top notch and 2 are ok. Our plan is to transfer 3 if we have 3 survive the thaw. SART FET success rates at my clinic for my age group and diagnosis is about 20%. Has anyone had success with a FET with a situation/history similar to mine? Thanks to all that respond I know you must get these types of posts often

2 blasts, 6 day transfer. They were frozen in day 3 and thawed and grown to blast. I had three failed fresh cycles prior with severe mfi and a history of polyps. My re is a firm believer that some people just respond better to frozen because the body is in a more natural state. Good luck! I will go with the advice I see on hear a lot, never transfer more than you're willi to carry.

We did two. They were frozen in pairs. My body certainly felt happier during the FET. Our twins are about to turn one.

How many did you transfer in your fresh cycles?

We only had one so that's all we transferred but had transfered 2 on IVF #1 and got pregnant with DS. With the FET, we had a day 5 excellent quality embryo and it stuck...I miscarried but that has nothing to do with the number of embryo's transferred. I say if they are frozen together, I may transfer 2 and then 2 if it didn't work or at a later time. Definitely don't transfer more than you are willing to carry or have.

Just one. No more twins for this mama thankyouverymuch.

Oh yeah, and I only had one

IVF 1 = 2, 5-day blasts = BFN (5AA)

FET 1 = 2, 5-day blasts = DD (5AA)

FET 2 = 2, 5-day blasts = c/p (5AA, 4AB)

FET 3 = 2, 5-day blasts = twins (4BB)

I have a whole new outlook on transferring more than 1 after experiencing a multiple pregnancy. Personally, I wouldn't transfer more than 2...but I know the exasperation of going through multiple cycles and getting to the end of your rope. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide!

I transferred 2 expanded blasts and had my son.

Transferred two day five (4AB blast, 3AB embryo) and had twins. Previously transferred two on day three and had a m/c of a singleton. So you are thawing all four? We only had two, but that was our max. Only you and your DH w/your RE's advice can decide what to do, but I personally would never transfer three unless I was good and ready to have trips (I.e. Not a chance). GL!

Thanks for the honest opinions and sharing your stories ladies! We have transferred 2 perfect 3 day embryos every cycle. I am going to call my RE and discuss how many to transfer again. DH and I would happily welcome 3 more children into our family but the risks of a triplets pregnancy scares me..

3. One great quality, 2 "meh." I was scared to death of triplets but my RE assured me it wouldn't happen. I had one perfect baby boy out of that cycle!

IVF#1 = 1 blast (BFN)

FET#1 = 2 blasts (BFN)

FET#2 = 3 blasts (Ectopic)

IVF#2 = 2 blasts (BFP- singleton)

Surprise BFP = singleton

FET#3 = 2 blasts (BFN)

FET#4 = coming in March, we'll be transferring our remaining 3 blasts- so we'll see

all my blasts have = AA or BB quality. so yeah- it's weird.

FET 1 genetically-normal blast (Day 6 4BB) = 1 LO. (2 frosties await)

What may be relevent to you is that of my 9 near-perfect Day 3 embryos, 2 were genetically normal blasts and 1 was unknown, meaning 6 were abnormal (or otherwise passed). These were typical results for my age (38). Here's the trick --- how do you know which 3? In my case the normals were the blasts with the worst grades (but no difference at Day 3)! Imagine my surprise if we hadn't tested and I had transferred the best-graded 6 with BFNs or cps and then transferred the last 3 and had twins or triplets! When I look at the embryology report of 16 eggs retrieved, embies #8 and #11 were the normal ones. So like I said, my kid(s) were in the latter bunch.

GL!
