Yes def as button 123 says it can split in two. I know a lady who had two eggs put back in and one of them split and she ended up with triplets! X

Yes, so if you have 2 good quality embryos potentially you could end up with triplets or quads if both split. In practice the odds of this a very low I was told. I decided to have one embryo transferred rather than two as I felt I had a good chance of twins due to my partner's family having some sets. Also my embryo was blastocyst and had a good chance of survival. Now 16 weeks pregnant with one baby.

But there are stats which show many cycles where two embryos are transferred result in one implanting, so it's a tricky choice.

I had one embryo and it split. They were identical and in the same sac. We only made it to 13 weeks though so I really really wish it had stayed as one!
