FET #2, Transferring 3 -- Advice, Stories Thoughts?

MommyWannaB10 · April 2013

Hi ladies,

Looking for some advice, opinions, anything. I don't post often or ever I guess.

DH & I used IVF to conceive our little boy. I had 18 eggs retreived and fertilized. We transferred the 2 best embryos we had.

We went through a FET in Februray to try for #2. It was unsuccessful. We transferred another 2 embryos.

So, here we are. Our transfer for FET #2 is next Thursday. We have 3 embryos left and plan to transfer all 3. The RE of course will do it, but he only recommends doing 2. All 3 are of good quality.

My friends think transferring all 3 is crazy. I guess our thoughts are, we transferred 2, had one baby. Transferred another 2, no pregnancy. Makes sense to transfer 3.

Anyone have any experience transferring 3? (sorry for all the rambling, my friends don't understand.)

Honestly? I would not transfer 3 unless they were poor quality. Past cycles don't seem to have any predictive value in this case -- just because they didn't all take last time doesn't reduce the chance that they might all take this time.&nb

Personally I would go with the dr reco and transfer 2 if it were me. Save one for later if needed. I have transferred one and two never three. I have had some work and not others. I know it is hard to have it not work. It was harder for me doing an fet wh

Sorry, but I agree with the other ladies. I wouldn't transfer more than you want to get pregnant with. For me, that would mean no way would I transfer three. Triplets are a possibility and too high risk for me.

I have never done IVF, however if I did I would definitely not transfer three embryos. A triplet pregnancy scares the crap out of me. Good luck with your decision.

I have been in this situation only it was a fresh IVF. My first two IVFs i transferred two and got both, one time twins and one time singleton. When it came to this last cycle I was willing to do three, depending on quality. I was willing to do one good a

We transferred 3 to get the one baby I am holding now. Our first transfer we put back two fresh 3 day embies. I got pregnant with one. That pregnancy resulted in a blighted ovum and miscarriage. Our remaining embies all stopped growing by day 4 so we had

I have to agree with the other ladies. I would take the Dr's recommendation into consideration. DH and I would be okay with twins, but triplets would scare the crap out of me! And I personally don't think I could go through selectiv

I wouldn't do it. With IVF #1 we transferred two, one stuck, and I had a m/c so no baby. With IVF #2 we transferred two, one stuck, and we had DS. With our FET we never thought both embies would stick based on our track record, but they did and I am pregn

My RE transferred 2 on our fresh cycle and even though they were 5 days, one split and we were pg w triplets. We did lose the twins early, and ended up w a healthy singleton pregnancy... but after that I would not mess around with transferring 3!!

wiscgirl95 · April 2013

I did it and I wouldn't do it again. Our ET after IVF failed when we transferred 2 perfect embryos. So for our FET we had 3 left and we transferred all 3. I was freaked out and actually praying they wouldn't all make it. Not a g

Personally, I would never transfer three because I would not want triplets. Heck, some people transfer 2 and end up with triplets. If you are not ready to be pregnant with triplets and have triplets, I would not do it.

BIL and his wife also did IVF. They transferred 3 for both of their transfers and wound up with one baby the first time and triplets from the FET.

I personally would not do it, a twin pregnancy scares me enough. We did a SET an

We followed the RE's recommendation for our fresh IVF cycles, which was to transfer 3 embryos both times, which resulted in singletons (one birth, one current pregnancy).

The first time we had two blasts and a morula, the second time they

Thanks for all of your responses.

I guess part of our decision is that we only have 3 embryos left and it's costly to continue to have 1 frozen, and yes it's costly to have triplet babies. I personally would not spend the almost $5,0
