Elective Single Embryo Transfer

Elective Single Embryo Transfer

Some fertility procedures can result in multiple births, which may cause concern for some patients. Elective single embryo transfer (eSET) eliminates that worry. A woman undergoing IVF may choose to have a single embryo transferred, even when multiple embryos are available. This is a good option if you want to decrease the chances of having twins, triplets, or more.

The eSET procedure is a good option for women who:

  • Younger than 35 years old
  • Beginning the first IVF cycle
  • Have prior IVF success
  • Have high-quality embryos
  • Are you using a donor egg

The prospect of giving birth to multiple children at one time can feel overwhelming. This option provides you with a manageable alternative.

Choosing the Best Embryo

Several factors contribute to selecting the optimal embryo for implantation. Our lab assesses the embryos to determine the one with the highest quality. Among the characteristics considered are the number and size of the cells, the rate of development, and other factors that identify embryos strong enough to survive.

After assessing the embryos, the lab director determines which one is of the highest quality. Keep in mind that there is no reliable way to determine which embryo will produce a fetus; however, eSET does allow us to determine which one has the best chance of growing.

Why Avoid Multiples?

There are health risks involved with the development of multiple fetuses in one pregnancy. These risks can affect the mother and the fetuses. Such a pregnancy often results in premature delivery. Babies who are born prematurely have an increased risk of serious long-term and short-term health problems. These may include:

  • Low birth weight
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Long-term lung problems
  • Long-term gastrointestinal problems
  • Other difficulties

Mothers giving birth to several babies at one time may experience high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and gastrointestinal difficulties.

Patient Reviews

  • Dr. Wang is truly amazing

    Dr. Wang is truly amazing. He is the most compassionate, patient, and understanding doctor I have ever encountered. He takes the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Compared to my consult at NYU, the experience at Neway was completely different. I felt at ease, never rushed, and always cared for. One of the best things about this clinic is how efficient they are, there is no waiting during appointments, and you get seen very quickly, which makes the whole process even smoother. If you are looking for a fertility clinic where you will feel supported and genuinely cared for, I highly recommend Dr. Wang, Dr. Lee, and the entire team at Neway.

  • Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country

    Dr. Wang’s care is unmatched. He personally performs every scan, retrieval, and transfer, and his gentle touch made my recovery seamless compared to past experiences. His nurse, Cecilia, and the rest of the team are equally incredible—organized, supportive, and attentive to every detail. If you’re searching for a doctor who truly cares, offers personalized protocols, and provides VIP care—especially if you’re older or have endometriosis—Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country. He made my dream of becoming a mom a reality, and I will forever be grateful for him!

  • He is an incredible doctor!

    I had tried 3 other clinics before finding Neway through a recommendation in a Facebook group. As soon as I met Dr. Wang my whole experience with infertility changed. I felt respected and taken care of which was far from my experience at other clinics. Dr. Wang is so friendly and compassionate, answers every email within depth explanations and personally sees you at every appointment. He is open to your input at every step of the way. He is an incredible doctor! I am so happy I found him. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

  • I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway

    IVF is not a journey anyone wants to take. It is a roller coaster of emotions that is only made easier with a wonderful support system. We found that at Neway – with Dr. Zimmerman and the entire nursing team. Ours wasn’t an immediate success story – it took multiple cycles to become pregnant. But I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone on this journey.
