What are the chances of having a multiple pregnancy when doing IVF? Do they have rules on how many embryos you can have placed back in? Is it based on age? I have had my first appointment, and been granted a government funded IVF cycle. I know it will be a while before it will be our turn. So for now I am just researching :) |

I think they generally put one embryo back in. Although it depends on your AMH level, your reason of infertility and age... :) ------------- PCOS, 5 rounds of Clomid. 1 round of Letrozole 5mg & metformin Puregon injections Aug & sep 2013 March 2013 Angel Baby TTC #1 for 18Months+ IVF early 2014 When is it going to happen for us? |

Thanks Brownie Our only issue is low sperm count. I am 39 and have had a baby before, all my tests have come back as my fertility is fine. What are the chances of getting pregnant with twins or more by doing IVF? |

Hi Wanting1more In NZ they only transfer one or maximum two embryos for IVF. Because you are over 35, you can choose to have one or two tranferred but it also depends on the quality of the embryo I am currently doing IVF and we have agreed that if the quality isn't that good that we will transfer 2 otherwise if good quality just 1 ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  TTC Mar 2011 4 IUI all BFN IVF Dec BFP |

Thanks Mrs Impatient. Will have my fingers crossed that you get your sticky jelly bean this cycle :) How long did you have to wait, from the time you had been told you had been granted a government funded cycle and when you actually got to start? |

Unfortunately no government funding for me. We have had all the tests and they can't find anything wrong so I would have to wait until we had been trying for 5 years before I could qualify and I would also need to loose some weight ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> TTC Mar 2011 4 IUI all BFN IVF Dec BFP |
