eSET or not?

[Emjh]

Hi all, currently working through all of my online consent forms and reading the numerous risks...I appreciate all of the risks of a double embryo transfer, however, we do not want a lot of waste embryos. I also lost twins at 11 weeks in June last year, whilst this was heartbreaking I was overjoyed that we had twins.

Has anybody else elected for a double embryo transfer and did your clinic allow for this or try and talk you out of it?

I am under 30 and know that legally you can have 2 but they obviously recommend eSET for good reason.

I just tick the 2 on the consents form and then we decide once we know what we have from the round if its doubles or singles (or a mixture) that we transfer. They will likely tell you 1 embryo only unless there’s a reason why not to but I’ve had a few double transfers, one I had to sign to say it was against their advice but another 2 they were happy for me to do (as by then we had a couple of negatives and losses) so it’s really individual circumstances. My last round we had a double transfer too as one wasn’t good enough for freezing anyways so they said we could put it back in along with the good quality embryo. Good luck xx
