Pregnancy results good with single-embryo transfer

"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The transfer of a single embryo into the uterus decreases the number of twin pregnancies without adversely affecting pregnancy outcomes, according to a report in the current issue of Fertility and Sterility.

Recent efforts have focused on transferring fewer embryos as a means of reducing the rising rate of twin pregnancies, the authors explain. Several studies have shown similar pregnancy outcomes, but a lower rate of twin births, after the transfer of a single embryo in women under the age of 37 years."
