My FET we had four frozen, all survived the thaw- they put back the best two, the others were not good enough to refreeze. This is pretty common, three embryos should give you one good transfer of one or two embies. You could thaw them one at a time, but then you have a lower chance of that particular transfer taking. It all depends on how you want to do it, but my guess is they will recommend you thaw them all at once. They tend to make you wait at least 6 months and you must discontinue nursing for a couple menstrual cycles prior.

I pumped for a few months but they had severe digestive issues and needed special formula, it was shockingly expensive about $15/day. Between that and DH not getting any younger we called it quits so we could move on with our FET. This will be number 4 and 5, we joke that our mini-van is full now so it's quitting time. I was admittedly not thrilled at twins again, even 5 kids feels like a lot- I know most people are like 4/5 what's the difference, but I understand the power of one more. We also considered a sprinter for more room but here in Iowa a rear wheel drive diesel would make winter "interesting."
We have 2 frosties from this last cycle and already I'm a bit frazzled- I don't think #6 is something I'll go for, but at the same time I wonder about their potential and if I'll ever regret not using them.

It depends on the clinic, some do a "natural cycle" with no meds and just wait until you ovulate to transfer the embryo. Mine involved birthcontrol pills followed by estrace and PIO injections until beta. It just depends on the clinic and your individual situation.

cara - I'm with you, i already have plans to try again after this little boy is born. I have 3 frozen embryos that were with donor eggs but might try a fresh cycle with my own eggs again..
