Stepha...Thank you Leah, Laura, and Stephanie!!! :)<br /><br />Stephanie- The number of embryos you transfer depends on your facilities guidelines and your own personal choice. My facility only allows up to 2 until 30. At 30, you're allowed to choose up to 3, and at 35, they'll allow as many as 5, depending on past history/attempts, etc. My husband and I have decided, both times now, to implant two- due to quality factors. Many women choose to implant as much as possible 'for the best odds' but honestly, it's been shown the fewer the better if you have good quality. It's also been shown that women who choose to implant just one tend to give birth to more multiples than women who implant three or more! :) Walter and I value life, and believe life is in a single cell, so we choose to save as many lives as possible by giving them the best chance in my womb or attempting to freeze them for later. Some women do choose to 'dispose' of leftover embryos or adopt them out. Walter and I have decided that if we're ever given the blessing of having embryos survive the freeze that we would go back to do IVF as many times needed to give those babies a chance. Unfortunately many of our embryos have been very poor quality and pass quickly. You learn as you go along, and the staff has been amazing. Thank you so so SO much for praying!justjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277249252905280867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468321537715868224.post-45924937571701715112012-08-09T12:46:09.807-07:002012-08-09T12:46:09.807-07:00Tomorrow is another big day! Can't wait to hea...Tomorrow is another big day! Can't wait to hear an update!!!<br /><br />Just a question -- how do you decide how many embryos to transfer? What happens to the other fertilized ones? This IVF processes you're going through has been eye-opening. I had no idea it was so involved and all-consuming. I'm praying SO HARD that it works this time! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710512948479683834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468321537715868224.post-42841109908888804802012-08-08T12:13:45.013-07:002012-08-08T12:13:45.013-07:00Super Excited!!!
