Number of embryos to transfer

We have 5 frozen blasts. According to ASRM:
In donor egg cycles, the age of the donor should be
used to determine the appropriate number of embryos
to transfer.

Also it says:
For patients with 2 or more previous failed IVF
cycles or a less favorable prognosis, additional embryos
may be transferred according to individual
circumstances after appropriate consultation.

Since we have 2 failed attempts, I am inclined to ask the RE to place
3 of the 5 we have during this transfer. Normally the RE would only
transfer 2.
