FET cycle what to expect?

Hi ladies, we've just had our second fresh cycle of ivf, unfortunately leading to a negative result again. I feel so lucky to of been able to have 2 fresh cycles free, I know lots of people have to pay so really do feel so lucky, especially when we have unexplained infertility. We have been lucky enough to have a 6 day blastocyst frozen from our first cycle and then 2 3 day embryos frozen from this cycle, so basically what I'm wondering is how many embryos do clinics use on a frozen cycle? Would they use all 3 or with one being a blastocyst would they just use that one then save the other 2 fir another possible cycle? I know all clinics are different, just wondering others experiences xx

Hi, it depends on your age. I’m 39 and had my first FET yesterday which was one day 5 blastocyst they used my 5BB and I believe my only other one is a 5AA. The HFEA have guidelines on how many is recommended. I think if your under 35 it’s two. Hope that assists
