a double transfer.
why type of transfer should women aged 37 to 39 have in the 1st and 2nd full IVF cycles? 
single embryo transfer if there are more than 1 top quality embryos.

if there are no top quality embryos.
what happens in the third cycle of IVF for women aged 37 to 39? 
no more than 2 embryos are transferred.
what happens to a woman aged under 37 in the first cycle of IVF?
