similar problem - just 2 vs. 1

All my embies seem to be doing well, six 8-cell, one 7-cell and one 6-cell on day 3 so we'll be doing a day 5 transfer and I just assumed that with a day 5 transfer, they would only transfer one. Now, the doctor says he usually does 2. I'm a single mother with a 4 year old but I have a full-time live-in nanny and my parents are super, super helpful(but live a long way away). I'm just worried about having two on my own plus my 4 year old. Selective reduction of any kind is illegal here and I had heard that there are also clinics in the US that don't like to do 2 to 1 even though it's legal there. Anyway, it seems like such a HUGE risk either way (put in two few and get a BFN or put in two many and have more babies that you can handle). Anyway, still working it out and would love any insights.
