Thawing eggs

Hello :) I was just wondering if eggs are thawed one at a time or if they defrost more than one, can they be refrozen if not used?

I read someone they are in pairs but if the choice is transfer two or loose one I'm really going to push for 2!

Do you mean eggs or embryos?

🤦🏼‍♀️ embryos - that'll teach me to post so early

Ha don't worry! It actually doesn't take too long to thaw them? So a lot of time they only thaw them an hour or so before transfer - so will do one at a time - it's not really advisable to re thaw. If the first one looks like it's struggling/doesn't survive the thaw then they'll thaw the next one
