Transfer one or two??

[aamiller405]

This will be our third FET.. Out first was successful but resulted in early miscarriage.. Second didnt work.

Clinic has always really pushed for single transfer because I'm 28. And I've just kinda agreed with what they said but now im starting to wonder if this is the best route?

We currently have 1 grade A and 4 grade C embryos left xo

Hey there...hard decision...I've read that the number doesn't matter...if the embryo is gonna stick it'll stick....and the odds really don't double if you put 2 in. We've always done singles because of my age but I've read lots on here about people putting in 2. The best of luck with whatever you decide xxxx

Thank you.. Yeah need to try and decide soon xo

Hi. We are looking at doing fet but not sure what price to expect. Can you advise at all? X

[aamiller405 in reply to Shannon1400]

I think it varies from clinic to clinic but ours is £1400 and then meds on top.. Meds from me are £165 a go and if pregnancy was to be successful and continue I would need meds 3 times xo

[Shannon1400 in reply to aamiller405]

Thank you in was expecting around the 2k mark. What happens if the is unsuccessful. Do you have to pay another 1400 plus meds? X

[aamiller405 in reply to Shannon1400]

Yeah unfortunately you do.. Some clinics do offer packages where you pay a higher amount but get numerous tries or get some money back etc.

Your clinic should advise you if any of these packages would be suitable for you. Best of luck and hopefully you'll just need the one FET x

If the embryos are a similar grade you do have increased chances of success (I’ve read about 15-20% so like tryagain said nowhere near double).

I think you need to weigh up whether you’d be ok with twins, financially, physically, support wise, etc, because obviously that’s the risk. My clinic weren’t happy to transfer 2 until my 3rd round and even then only because I’m 38, if I was younger they’d have still pushed for a single I think.

I am biased though because the cycle where we replaced 2 got me my only ever BFP! Xx

Thank you for the reply.. Its great to hear other people's opinions to help make our decision xo

As other have said putting two embryos of a similar grade back does give you some increased chance of success, but nowhere near double so if you can afford it then you’d have a higher overall chance of success with single transfers. Personally I would transfer your grade A and then go from there if you need to. Fingers crossed! xx

[aamiller405 in reply to Shelleybean]

Thank you.. Yes I think we are swaying towards a single A transfer then double up on the C's if needed xi

[Solly-44 in reply to aamiller405]

This is exactly what I’d do. I wouldn’t want to do an A & C together in case it hinders your chances, but 2 C’s together should increase their chances. Huge luck to you xx

[Shelleybean in reply to aamiller405]

Sounds sensible to me! Wishing you lots of luck 🍀 xx

I would transfer 2 probably. Our grade C embryos has been discarded as considered poor quality embryos. So probably it will not worth to transfer only C grades as chances are very small. I am really surprised to see that you have them on ice, my clinic said that they won’t survive the freeze and thaw process.

Another think to mention is that I was 27 years old when our embryologist decided to transfer 2 embryos, ended in chemical.

You can discuss again with your clinic about chances of getting pregnant with C grade embryos.

Wish you all the best 🤞❤️

Thank you very much for the info.. I will definitely dicuss more about the C embryos with our clinic xox
