Pacific Northwest Fertility follows guidelines on number of
embryos transferred that are set forth by the American Society of
Reproductive Medicine. Those guidelines are:
A) In patients under the age of 35 and for patients
using donor oocytes, no more than 2 embryos should be
transferred in the absence of extraordinary circumstances. For
patients with the most favorable prognosis, consideration should
be given to transferring only a single embryo.
B) For patients between 35 and 37 years of age
having a more favorable prognosis, no more than 2
embryos should be transferred. All others in this age group
should have no more than 3 embryos transferred.
C) For patients between 38 and 40 years of age,
no more than 4 embryos should be transferred. For patients in
this age group having a more favorable prognosis,
consideration should be given to transfer of no more than 3
embryos.
D) For most patients greater than 40 years of age, no
more than 5 embryos should be transferred.
