Dr. Cook:
In the United States, that area is supervised by a credentialing body of reproductive endocrinologist or infertility specialists that make recommendations, but don’t mandate the number of embryos transferred or implanted and their recommendations generally are two or less.
Most recent data would support even one embryo transfer, what we call single embryo transfer. So we have recommendations at this time, but we don’t have mandates in this country about how many embryos are transferred, but that may be coming.
