I was curious if anyone on the forums has conceived twins as a result of assisted hatching. Thanks!

I don't know if it was because of that, but we did assisted hatching and ended up pregnant with identical twins ( although sadly lost one early on)
1 year...6 fresh ivf's...so many failed attempts...we finally got a BFP on Nov 27, 2014. What finally worked: co culture, G - CSF, IVIG, prednisone .Nov 27 Beta 112 Nov 29 Beta 291 Dec 16 Saw 2 flickering heartbeats on ultrasound!!!! (from a single blastocyst transfer)Looking like identical twins for us...wowDec 22 control u/s to make sure the babies are growing. Only 1 H/B found. 1 twin didn't make it. Just 1 baby for us. Jan 23 NT scan and blood work came back all normal! As per our amazing technician...70% chance it's a girl!Mar 18th 20 week anatomy scan shows a perfectly healthy baby girl!
Madison arrives on July 17 2015 at 37 weeks 2 days! 10 fingers and 10 toes...perfect in every way.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

Did you also do ICSI?

Thank you.
Yes we did ICSI. We had to because since my husband had a previous vasectomy he had a TESA procedure for sperm extraction. And I believe they always suggest ICSI in that circumstance.

Thanks again for your reply.

I understand that the ICSI/assisted hatching combination brings the greatest risk to having an embryo split.

Ended up transferring our grade 2 blast yesterday and did assisted hatching. Now the wait.
