(We transferred 3 - and I'm pregnant with 1.) I guess it comes down to how you would feel about multiples vs. how you would feel about having 1 left. (Do you want a 3rd child? When you go to try for a 3rd, how will you feel about having jsut 1 to transfer? etc.)<br /> You're in our prayers!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900435451587834433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704483286130704915.post-56646146883592234072011-02-25T01:05:32.892-05:002011-02-25T01:05:32.892-05:00You are my bestie,although many miles seperate us ...You are my bestie,although many miles seperate us know that you are loved and prayed for.

Less than 1% chance. On thaw day, 1 morula did die, but all the rest made it. However, on transfer day only 3 were left to transfer and guess what? It was the morulas who survived. We transferred all three and I am 12wk PG with one little one. <br /><br />We did not want to leave one embryos by itself for a future transfer and would have been thrilled to have multiples if it had happened.Room for Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13689442916160755101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704483286130704915.post-51881007845718381292011-02-22T11:05:41.330-05:002011-02-22T11:05:41.330-05:00For my 3 frozen transfers, we transferred 3 at the...For my 3 frozen transfers, we transferred 3 at the 8-cell stage the first time (resulted in Genevieve being born), transferred 2 at the 8-cell stage (one didn't survive the thaw) - miscarriage and the third transfer we had 3 blasts - miscarriage.<br /><br />Based on my experiences, I would thaw all three and transfer all that survive.<br /><br />Good luck!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798282017391489597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704483286130704915.post-4142300876705205352011-02-21T21:47:38.162-05:002011-02-21T21:47:38.162-05:00Ooooooh toughie!

They're also no the end of the world so long as your budget can afford it.<br /><br />Leaving one behind leaves too much on your mind! <br /><br />If transferring two does or doesn't work, you're left paying storage fees. Fees that could be used to care for the bab(ies) on the way or to be trying for your last FET. After all that, would you want to endure all the cost of a FET for one that may or may not survive thaw and if it does only has a 30% chance of resulting in pregnancy? <br /><br />Sometimes it makes sense to put all your eggs in one basket!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336283103973967252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704483286130704915.post-92150040053446356312011-02-21T21:47:20.476-05:002011-02-21T21:47:20.476-05:00We transferred 3 embryos the first time and 4 embr...We transferred 3 embryos the first time and 4 embryos the second time and none made it so you just never know.

But, if it were me, I would plan to thaw all 3 and transfer all survivors. I would want to give all 3 of these little lives a chance at birth asap. Also, realistically some embryos at the multicell stage never make it to the blastocyst stage (much less to implantation). For our July FET, we transferred 2 very highly graded blastocysts - no pregnancy. In September, we transferred 3 average blastocysts and got a very weak positive ending with an early miscarriage. For our November transfer, we transferred 2 good blastocysts and 1 not so good blastocyst - resulted in a twin pregnancy.

I know with our last transfer, we were adamant that we were only going to transfer 2 because we didn't want triplets and didn't want to wish "bad" on an embie...but one didn't survive the thaw as you know.<br /><br />But, this time, the 3 are in the same straw. We've been told that we can refreeze, but I know that's not good for them. We'd rather transfer all 3 if the RE lets us so they get the best chance they can get. Yeah, we know that means it could be triplets or more...yikes... but God already knows anyway.<br /><br />I guess ultimately for us, it's always been what we felt right about. The first transfer worked out the way it was supposed to....I know that now, and God had the outcome we needed.<br /><br />I'm babbling. :( But I guess what I'm trying to say is go with your gut and what you feel is best. I'm just trying to help by telling you how we made the decisions we have.<br /><br />SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for you sweetie! It would be AMAZING if we were pregnancy buddies! It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it....that would be the best situation for me!!<br /><br />(((HUGS)))twondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833003369303408718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704483286130704915.post-13625199405249394632011-02-21T19:26:03.965-05:002011-02-21T19:26:03.965-05:00Honestly, I'd thaw all 3 and transfer whatever...Honestly, I'd thaw all 3 and transfer whatever makes it.

If it were me, I would plan to thaw all 3 and transfer whatever makes it. For ours we thawed 4 and only 2 made it. One took. You just never know so it's a guessing game.
