Hi. I have very low AMH, 36 years old & never have been pregnant. I have done 2 IVF cycles this year approx 5 months apart. Each time had only 2 eggs retrieved, 1 fertilization each which lead to the embryo reaching blastocyst stages both times & both came back normal after genetic testing 🤍 talk about beating the statistics odds! 🤞🏻 I now have 2 cutie embryos saved. My husband & I would love to have twins and will be speaking to my doctor about the best options. Twins thoughts?

I don’t know the stats on this, but I wonder if you are more likely to end up with at least one baby if you transfer them separately. It would be heartbreaking to transfer them both and have it fail and then you don’t have another embryo.

IVF embryos are already more likely to split so many doctors won’t transfer two. I am also not sure that I would transfer both if those are the only embryos you have in case you discover there’s an implantation issue and can address it on second transfer. Testing doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome, it increases chances slightly by about 10-15% for those over 35 according to studies. And you are on the cusp in terms of age.

I have low AMH and we transferred our only 36 year old embryo untested with success.

Also, we spoke with not only our RE, but our OB and PCP about twins. The OB and PCP were actually supportive, of course discussed the risks as well.

I had cancer last year and after my 1-year cancer free mark this year I was flagged for possible recurrence and needed to wait for doctor clearance. Otherwise my second cycle would have been sooner. I was eventually cleared for the second cycle. I was advised to limit additional cycles by my team of doctors because the increase in estrogen would not be good for my body and cancer history. I still am not cleared for pregnancy until I have the OK with my next doctor appts/scans which is toward the end of this year. I’m hoping I am healthy and can have a transfer by the end of this year 🤞🏻🤍

Thanks everyone 🥰

People - can we please stop using the current pandemic as a means for policitical gain? The situation is much more complex than how it is represented. And I find it insensitive to the families of those who are affected.

I don't mean to hinder shared perspective. There is much value in talking about it with others if we treat each other with respect.

At a higher-level, I question why society is like this. I think there's value to reading the attached. It is dense. Please read slowly.
