What is the Ideal Number of embryos to be transferred?
Usually two embryos are placed inside your uterus at a time. This is because the chance of pregnancy is low when only one embryo is transferred. On the other hand, there is the possibility of a triplet pregnancy with three embryos transferred. Triplet pregnancy carries a higher chance of premature delivery and should be avoided. The actual decision in each case would depend on various factors. The transfer of three embryos is considered if you are above the age of 37, have a raised basal FSH level, or have been unsuccessful in previous attempts at IVF.
