If IVF is so expensive, why would a fertility clinic recommend transferring just one embryo instead of two?

It’s a question many intended parents ask. After all, if you’re investing so much time, money, and emotion into building your family, wouldn’t transferring two embryos increase your chances of success?

In this episode, reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Julian Escobar explains why modern IVF treatment has moved toward single embryo transfers and why more embryos don’t necessarily mean better outcomes. Drawing from his expertise and personal experience with growing his own family, we discuss the risks associated with multiple pregnancies, how IVF success is measured today, and why the ultimate goal isn’t just pregnancy—it’s bringing home a healthy baby.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Single embryo transfer vs. double embryo transfer

• Why fertility clinics prioritize healthy outcomes

• The risks of twin and multiple pregnancies

• Common misconceptions about IVF success

• How intended parents can make informed IVF treatment decisions

If you’ve ever wondered why fertility doctors often recommend transferring a single embryo, even when transferring two seems like the better bet, this episode will help you understand the reasoning behind one of the most important decisions in IVF and fertility treatment.
