I have just began my frozen cycle after my first cycle ended in a miscarriage. My consultant asked whether I wanted 1 or 2 embryos put back as I have 7 frozen. The consultant has suggested that I put 1 back as I am 33 and still young.
At first I was sure of putting one embryo back due to the risks involved. However I am having second thoughts.
I just need some opinions.

First couple of rounds we were strictly one in our heads, after having miscarriages and more unsuccessful rounds, if we'd had the chance we would have gone for two...
We had the choice and went for two. We knew the risks but decided to go for it as it was our last NHS funded cycle. We got a BFP but only one baby. I didn't have any bleeding or anything and we were told by the doctor this is normal and the embryo that didn't stick will have just been re-absorbed into the body. It is a hard decision to make. Good luck with whatever you decide xx

Hi Sunny_skies. This is always such a difficult decision for you both to make, and I would always recommend that you listen to your specialist's advice too. I really do wish you all the best - and for success with whatever you do decide. However, i thought you might like to read through our factsheet before making your mind up. Diane
I guess the last word is always after RE. Some ladies insert just 2 to boost their chances. But here it is important to be sure if multiple pregnancies aren't forbidden in a particular case. I know a girl who put in 2, but miscarried in 8 weeks because her body wasn't healthy enough to support 2 peas at the same time. Doc then told her if it were 1 embryo it would definitely stay alive..
We passed de ivf in Ukrainian clinic and they strongly recommended to put in 2 embies each time. Our 3rd att was a success. Unfortunately one embie vanished but another one turned into a sweet boy 9 months later !!
I agree this is a hard decision to make. But this is definitely not the one we make due to our feelings and expectations. A specialist's verdict must be given first!
