Just going through frozen embryo transfer soon,I have 2 frosties and wondering if to do both of them or just single transfers.

What’s the advice of your doctor?

One of my friends had IVF twins. They were premature and couldn’t breathe or feed independently. It was extremely stressful for them (and not an uncommon outcome).

I’d also say that it’s much more difficult looking after twins than a singleton. If one or the other needs feeding, you might find that you get 0 sleep all night for example. At other times, you need to leave one to cry as you don’t have enough hands to attend to both simultaneously. It’s also the logistics of having 2 to get ready to leave the house etc
And a financial challenge in terms of double childcare costs so you need high earnings/big pot of savings/loads of family support to manage in the first few years.

I did a double frozen transfer to "use up" my Frosties as felt they weren't great quality and we'd need to do another cycle anyway

Clinic agreed as they were the same quality - is they had been different they would have said no as the body can put all its effort into the weaker one and ignore the better one and you could end up with nothing
