I've just posted in this in teh conception board but think i might have more luck here. I think I need some help ladies...
I'm 41 and have been ttc for around 100 years (well, around 10) with unexplained fertility, and finally made the plunge into the world of ivf. This is our first cycle and all has gone well so far...13 eggs were collected yesterday and I'm waiting for the call today to say how many are viable (fingers definately crossed!!)
DH and I went into this completely open-minded knowing that the stats aren't in our favour, given my age etc. At our consultation we were asked whether we would want to transfer 1 or 2 embryos back, if we were lucky enough to have the choice. At that stage we plumbed for 2 to maximize our chances.
Since then DH has been consulting Dr Google (I've tried to stop him!) and now strongly believes we should transfer only 1 because of the risk of disabilities in twins. Because I believe it's a transplant problem which has been stopping us conceiving, I still want to go for 2.
All the stats around success rates for SET are based on women in their 30s and so they don't give me too much comfort.
Can anyone help point out what might be bleedin obvious? Are we missing something which could help us agree on whether to go for 1 or 2??
