Age 37 w/ DOR - Bank embryos?

When do you expect to have those children? My friend just had a baby at 53 - good for her but that means she will be 71 when the baby graduates high school - if she lives that long. For me, it sets up children to be orphans because 71 is really old to have a high school kid.

I’d do another retrieval to try to get to five euploid embryos. How many frozen eggs do you have? I’m presuming you may also have something to work with in there, but it really depends on number and age at freeze. With five PGT tested embryos, you should be able to end with two children. My first four transfers failed, my fifth was successful. I’m extremely unusual, but that background is why I suggest banking. If you were to have multiple fails and need to use everything banked, I also think your gender preferences will fall by the wayside (so I’d be less concerned about that; it really becomes less material for most people, especially if you’ve struggled to have a child).
