[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a heavy choice for sure. We did just one IVF cycle to get our second child, and ended up with nine embryos in storage. I was originally 100% sure I only wanted two children.  Then on a lark we got them tested.  Four out of nine were normal.  So against all prior convictions we transferred one, and our third child was born. It just seemed such a waste to let them go after we had the PGS results.

We still have three on ice and we are 500% sure we don't want more children.  We decided against donating.  [b]SGF offers this thing where they transfer the embryos into a woman when there is zero chance[/b] of conceiving, and they just sort of dissolve inside.  We'll do that in a year or so  - although it's a total ritual (meaning it's basically disposal), but it seems like a nice symbolism to have them go back to where they came from.

My sympathies are with you.  It's not an easy choice at all.  In your shoes I'd give real thought to #2.[/quote]

What? How do they know that?[/quote]

Er...should be pretty easy to tell based on your cycle, and un-prepped uterine lining, no?

In any event, I'd be 47 at that time so not really concerned about what would be as good as immaculate conception.[/quote]
