Anyone have an opinion on whether transferring 2 embryos is better than 1?

[Wishing-and-hoping]

Hi lovely ladies,

I have my third fresh cycle coming up - starting stims in about 2 weeks time. My last 2 failed cycles were with 1 embryo transferred. My clinic’s policy is that they only transfer 1 embryo as it’s safest for mother & (potential) baby, but I’ve seen some good news stories on here of BFPs with 2 embryos transferred.

Anyone have any advice/opinions on whether 1 or 2 is better, and why some clinics will transfer 2 if 1 is safer?

Hello

I have just posted a similar question. Good luck in your decision I'd be interested in what you decided. I have the same decision to make xx

On our first round we had 2 transferred. On our recent 2nd round we decided to just have one transferred. Our consultant told us it saves time if u have 2 transferred but potentially more risky to mother/child. As in, if the embryos are viable, wether you transfer them both at the same time or one by one the outcome will be the same. If that makes sense.
