Hey lovely ladies of SAIF! So the RE called this morning to tell us that all 10 of our embryos are still dividing and looking good, so they pushed us to a 5dt.

This is good news, obviously, but last time we did a 3dt, and now we are in unchartered water. When we got pregnant with DD, we put transferred two embryos (1 fair 7 cell and 1 good 8 cell) and the rest of the embryos arrested shortly thereafter.

What do you all know about pregnancy and multiples rates of putting back blasts on day 5? We were going to transfer 2 again if we had a 3dt, but now we are on the fence and want some information. I'll obviously ask my RE for guidance, but I thought you wise women might have some good stats. We are both under 30.

Thanks and happy weekend!

I don't know the statistics, but we transferred two 5 day blast of their highest quality rating and ended up with twins. I am under 30 as well. I do remember the RE going over the stats with us in regards to our chances of a singleton or twin pregnancy. Sorry I am of no real help. Good luck with whatever you and your DH decide.

ETA I took out percentages because I don't know if they were accurate.

No stats here either, but we transferred 2 blasts on day 5 (at the advice of our RE) for our last IVF cycle and my 1 month old twins are sleeping on their activity mat right now. We had also planned to transfer 2 on day 3 as we only had 6 eggs retrieved (and had also transferred 2 for the previous cycle that gave us our singleton). When all of our mature embryos (5 of 6) were still dividing on day 3, we were pushed to a 5dt. I was 30 at the time.

I would say the chances of at least one of the blasts implanting if you do a 5dt are excellent, and the chances that you would end up with twins are pretty good. My expert medical opinion, obviously Good luck!

We transferred two 5 day blasts and have triplets. RE gave us 50% odds of getting pregnant (but that was based solely on my fertility hx and our problem was severe MFI) and were told the odds of it ending up in triplets would be 1%. wish the lottery ticket we bought that day would have given us that same luck, lol.

Your trips are getting so big. They are all so handsome. Hope they are giving you some rest times.

We transferred one highest quality blast and had a BFN. Our two fair quality blasts are now eight months old. I was 29 during both cycles.

We did a eSET the first time because the success rates were nearly the same for a patient with a good prognosis. I was labeled as poor prognosis during my second cycle due to a history of a failed cycle and lesser embryo quality, so we transferred two and both stuck.

I'm under 30 DH was 32 and we transferred two 5 day blasts and were blessed with a singleton. One was graded B and the other C.

It's a hard decision but in our case the second one wasn't in good enough shape to freeze and we didn't want to lose it so we decided last second to transfer both.

Good luck in your decision and FX for a BFP for you!

We transferred 1 on a 5dt. I'm also under 30. We got pregnant with a singleton this was after a failed 3dt with 2 embies for IVF 1. I think if your RE says its a great quality embie there is no reason to transfer more than 1 if you're under 35. GL!

Thanks for the replies!

I spoke to the RE today, and he gave us the following odds:

If we transfer 2 blasts: 60-75% chance of pregnancy and 30-40% chance of twins depending on quality.

If we transfer 1 blast: 40ish% chance of pregnancy with 1% chance of twins.

I think we are leaning towards transferring two and living with the multiples risks. Anyway, thanks for the input!

Hooray for happily dividing embies!

We put back two on Day 3 that were "prefect" and just got Isaac. We have two Day 5 blasts that we will be transferring one at a time. We figured if they made it to blast, we aren't taking our chances with twins.
