[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm looking for some crowd-sourced advice from this knowledgeable group!

I just received word that out of 9 embryos sent for PGS testing, only two are normal. This was my first IVF cycle and I just turned 36 this month.

Husband and I would like two children. He is an only child while I grew up in a family of three, and we would just really love to have more than one child.

Now I feel like I'm faced with a dilemma. Given that implantation rates are around, what, 40-50%, it seems unlikely that the two PGS normal embryos would materialize into two healthy pregnancies.

Do you think I should go through another IVF round now, before attempting FET and potentially having a pregnancy, in order to hopefully get more embryos in the bank while I'm still young-ish?  Or is that un-called for bet-hedging, and we should therefore just proceed with FET and see what God gives us?  I will note that IVF was hell for me -- blood pressure spiked, terrible headaches, lots of adverse symptoms. But I'm more than willing to do it again if it's what we need to do.

Or, if we decided to try for pregnancy now...anyone have experience with getting pregnant through IVF, having a baby, then going through IVF again at a later age?  How soon after breast-feeding/pregnancy [i]can[/i] you go through an IVF round?[/quote]

I'm going through the exact same thing and proposed a similar question not too long ago. You can see my OP here:

Long story short-unless you have DOR I wouldn't bother banking. If your insurance pays for it, I would bank. If not, then assuming you don't have DOR, I wouldn't bother banking. Good luck!
