Hey everyone...I am clinic surfing and am finding some of the clinics leave no choice about the number of embryos transferred? Any info would be sooooo helpful!! Thanks so much!!
Will they transfer 2 embryos? Do I get a say?

it's your body - you always have a choice!
that being said, doctors will certainly make their recommendations, but you are a part of your medical team. if you feel strongly then have a conversation with your doctor - they may be able to share some insights that you didn't realize or you may find a middle ground you are both comfortable with. my doctor always wants to transfer 2, we always want to transfer 1, and he is supportive of that (though he asks every time if we'll do 2 this time...) that being said - if you wanted to transfer a particular number that your doctor didn't feel that was safe, I imagine they have a right to refuse to do that, in which case you might need to reconsider your wishes, or perhaps seek another clinic who would feel it is safe.
hoping you find what you're looking for

Thanks you so much 
Calgary is very strict about only transferring one and there is no say from the patient so this is very appreciated. Did you go to this clinic? I am trying to decide where to go thanks so much

I saw two different REs in two different clinics in BC and both were adamant about transferring only one due to my age, seemed like I had no choice (and in the end, I didn't even get a choice anyway because I only had one healthy embryo). My friend was also told that she was only going to have one transferred as well but due to the poorer quality of her embryos, the docs decided at the last minute on the day of ET to transfer two. In the end, the doctors will do what's best for you.

Hello. I dont know where or how to start. I am trying to help my daughter find donor embryo. She is ready to have children but has a condition called premature ovarian failure. She has no eggs. I was recommended to try this site. I am hoping someone has frozen embryo, was successful in completing their family and is now ready to help my daughter fulfill her dream of becoming a mom.
