Transfer of 2 hatching blasts. Pregnant with one. 36 yrs old.

Thanks and congrats! It seems then that most people will have 2 embryos transferred... Kinda wish we'd gone for HT for our second child - then I could have had 2 transferred and only ended up with 3 kids max altogether. But like a lot of people here, we gave good old praying and swaying (not hardcore tho) a shot and it didn't work.

Any advice on cgh vs 5 probe? I did a 5 probe with my last cycle. My RE recommended day 5 cgh this time around. I'm really worried about not having anything to transfer. Thoughts?

Megmal, I can only tell you about what happened to me. For me 5 probes day 3 it was the best choice. As I am a high reponder to stimulating drugs, I had all the embryos frozen before testing and transfering them. We decided to transfer 2 hatching blasts and frozen again the remaining ones (after testing them). My doctor said that we are going to be able to use them in the future if we want, even if they have been tested and "refrozen". So I think that the "frozen issue" of day 5 CGH is no longer a big deal. My doctor is doing a lot of day 5 CGH. What I would not recommend is day 3 CGH. I have done it, and only had results of "crazy" embryos. My second doctor was very clear stating that day 3 CGH is the worse choice. If I have already done a 5 probes FISH, I would maybe go for sure for a day 5 CGH. It depends on your history, on results with FISH and on you doctor. For me the doctor makes THE huge difference, since every patient is unique. I tried 3 doctors with many faillures (no problems at all to get pregnant), and "found my hapiness" only with the third one. If you need more help or information, I am here!

We had 6 embroys when it was all said and done. FIVE were girls, I couldnt believe it. 1 abnormal boy and 2 abnormal girls. One of the healthy girls stopped growing so we transferred both normal girls and have a singleton. She is 9 months old.
