Ivf Success With Single Embryo Transfer

There are chances that the single embryo you transfer could be your baby,but yes, there is less % of success per cycle in transferring 1 vs 2.
I transferred 3. 2 stuck. 1 became vanishing twin..I am carrying a singleton. And most in my batch had 3 transfer,some had singleton,some had vanishing twin like me,then some had viable twins,and 1 triplet.. So 40% around chances of twins..
Suppose out of my 3 embryos.. If I had transferred one each every time,then if by bad luck it was the ones that didn't implant chosen in the first cycle.Then I would have 2 FET failures and then 1 success.. But I was ready to risk the twin chance,so OK for me . For you,it's absolutely not possible to tc of twins..So best would be single ET for you. But you need to have patience in this case,since it depends on your luck too which embryo gets chosen to transfer in the first and upcoming cycles. If you are ready to wait then go ahead and transfer single only. But keep in mind you might be the lucky one to have the best embryo in the first FET or u may have to wait few more FETs. So all the best, wish you get success 1st time itself. tc

 

Have you consideredgetting PGS done on the embryos? The embryos are tested for the correct number of chromosomes and the ones that pass the PGS test have higher chances of sticking.

 

Hi,

I think I can answer you qn as only one embryo was transferred in my case. But we actually didnt have a choice. 9 eggs were retrieved, only 4 fertilized, 3 made it to day 3 and only one made it to day 5. And he is now kicking me from inside

We had basically lost hope in my case before the transfer and my doc even suggested to go for another round of retrieval before the FET. She said we may have more embryos for transfer. But I didnt want to do more shots and delay the FET. From what I researched and read online, there is not much drop in success rate between 1 and 2 transfer.

BTW, a lot depends on what day transfer you are going to do. If it is day 3, I would suggest you to do multiple transfer, but if it is day 5, may be you could go for PGS like Elsa suggested and do single transfer itself.

But please think a lot and decide what you want to do. Really no else can tell what you need to do. Just thought of sharing my story as even I was really worried doing single transfer, but luckily it worked out for me. All the best for your IVF dear. Lots of sticky baby dust to you.

 

As everyone said single embryo transfer with PGS will give good result. I'm an example for that. My doctor said don't need for two. As it is already tested for you can go with one.

 

This is a great post and encourage for those undergoing ivf

 

Hi ,I have underwent single blastocyst transfer but it was not successful.according to me single embryo transfer s little difficult to get positive results.bcos in TTC journey we will always be in frustration so we can't handle the pressure from families.so it's better if you go for multiple embryo transfer.
