FET # put in

So we had our consent signing for our FET.  We had all the embryos frozen due to risk of OHSS.  Our RE quotes the % per embryo transferred is 55% and putting in two gives us a 30% chance of twins which doesn't really add up to me but whatever.  RE recommended putting in two.  We are hesitant to put in two because we really do not want twins so we consented to one.  I can't find much research on elective single embryo transfers for an FET.  Is it that rare to only put 1 back in?

Married June 2011
Dx: anovulatory due to prolactinoma (1.5cmx 1.5cm in 2006)
April 2012: MRI- questionable cyst 8mg by 12mm in pituitary
referred to RE by Ob-gyn after amenorrhea x 4+ months, provera ineffective, low estrogen level
cycle 1: May 2012, clomid 50mg; cycle cancelled, thin lining, no response
cycle 2: June 2012, femara 5mg; cycle cancelled, no response
cycle 3: July 2012, femara 7.5mg; cycle cancelled (largest folli on Cd12 & cd 16: 11, lining 4)

Aug. 8: met with RE, move to injectables if HSG and SA normal
Aug. 23: HSG all clear; DH- perfect
Switched to a new RE in early Sept. IVF here we come
Genetic testing reveals: Fragile X- Intermediate risk/grey zone.
IVF#1: ER 11/30: 14 retrieved, 10 mature, 7 fertilized. E2 prior to trigger 5200. Decision made to freeze 6 embryos and transfer later due to OHSS.

It's definitely not rare to transfer one embryo. If this is your first transfer and you are not comfortable with twins it is your decision to make. Many women on PAIF  and SAIF chose one for there FET and still get there BFP.

Thanks.  It's just weird that he pushed for an elective single embryo transfer for the fresh cycle that didn't happen and is now pushing for putting in two.

I only put in one with my fresh IVF and got a BFP but m/c at 5w4d. For my FET coming up we will again put in one. If your under 35 the recommendation is to put in one. DH and I are absolutley not ok with twins so unless its recommended we will always do one.

I don't think it's rare, but I think various factors are considered prior to the RE's recommendation.

Not rare at all.  I too had to do a freeze all on my first cycle due to OHSS...my RE originally said two woud be fine with her but after months and months of discussing it my DH and I decided on transferring one only.  We didn't get a positive and I'm now prepping for my next FET....this time we are leaning more towards two.  If you are totally against the possibility of twins then only put in one.  Good luck!!!
