How many Blasts did you transfer?
Hi Ladies and Gents - Just meet with RE today. This will be my 3rd IVF and the first time we have discussed Blasts. I am excited I see so many success stories with blasts. I was wondering for the people that transfered Blasts how many did you transfer, Did you get a
 and if so what was your bean count? Sorry so many questions. I get the feeling that if we have any that make it to day 5 she will push for us to transfer 1 I would like 2. My husband of course wants 1 as well. Isn't that always the way . Thanks for sharing  Samantha

We transferred two and got twins.
If you don't mind twins I say go for two, but it's of course a personal decision. Good luck!

I would say just be prepared for as many as you decide to transfer to make it - unless you are okay with selective reduction. My first IVF cycle we transferred 2 blasts and had a chemical pregnancy, the second time around we had much fewer so we were advised to do a 3-day transfer and decided to transfer 2 and both worked! Good luck to you!

Our Re will do 2 on us due to my age. I am a little concerned thinking about twins, but I'm more afraid of it not working at all so I will take whatever I can get!

Thanks for the responses . We have always transfered 2 3d. I just feel 2 gives us a better chance. My DH is afraid of twins. I
we have enough to transfer 3d or 5d. Just curious. Thanks again.Samantha

Thanks for the responses.
I called and spoke to my nurse. If Blast looks good she advises to put 1 back. But final decision will be that day. I hope to work on my DH until then Thanks again. Samantha

We transferred one great blast and one good looking morula, which is the stage right before the blast stage. That one was falling a little behind. I was expecting only the blast to take, but both took and my gestational carrier is now pregnant with twins. So if you do transfer two, don't be surprised if both take. If you wouldn't mind twins, go for it.
