Oh, and you need a simple lesson in biology to understand how multiples occur. I'll give you an example: a friend of mine had IVF and two embryos transferred. One split and she has three children.
hysterical fool, i think not. No need for selective reduction if only 1 maybe 2 implanted. get an education before you spew bs. and you still do not address HOW MANY EMBRYOS ARE CREATED TO GET THE FITTEST TO IMPLANT AND THEN ARE DISCARDED,frozen, or used for research purposes. All are living babies. Good Day.
>>I’m 42 and on my 3rd IVF. I respond well (12+ follicles, near 100% retrieval/fert rates), make beautiful embryos, but they don’t implant. Three REs all say we have “implantation failure”. Specialist say the reason for this is either functional (ie, progesterone surging too early, akin to P27/cyclin E situation) to infectious in nature.
In IVF#1 we put in 6. In IVF#2 we put in another 6. We had 6 frozen embryos, 1 survived thaw and we put in 5. So 17 embryos in three transfers and not a single implantation. We did not do PGD so we opted to always put in more. We went with the assumption that at 41 (my age at retrieval) the odds are that 1 in 5 embryos are normal.<<
