Can you transfer a fresh and frozen embryo at the same time?

Hi all,
I have just completed a 3-cycle package with Create, of Modified Natural IVF using Tamoxifen.
I have one grade 2 7-cell Day3 embryo frozen, and potentially one fresh embryo to transfer on Sunday (depending on how it progresses), today is Day1.
I was wondering if I can have the frozen embie transferred along with the fresh.
I would be grateful for any thoughts/experience that anyone has with this.

Yes! I was meant to have this done, however as I ovulated unexpectedly early we didn’t go ahead with both, only the frozen, but certainly would have done if my situation were different.

Hi Flyby, thanks for replying. Did your clinic say anything about the frozen embryo and fresh one needing to be the same grade in order to transfer together?

My consultant has said I can do a double transfer of fresh and frozen, but ideally a single transfer is better. He told this to an embryologist, who passed it onto me. I need to speak to him tomorrow to understand the reasons why.

If it’s just due to a risk of twins then I’ll take it,
I would love twins! But if there is another reason (such as reduced chances of success) then obviously I would just do a single transfer.
