[quote=Anonymous][quote]My fear, though, is having too many frozen embryos. While I wouldn't mind, say, 4 kids, the idea of more than that is frightening. Should I actually be concerned about that?[/quote]
Not really. It's hard to predict because you may be a SUPER STIMMER! and end up with 20 embryos, but, that's fairly rare. Shady Grove will freeze good looking day 5 embryos, and as you note, generally people are talking about just a few. And not every thawed embryo will implant.

[quote] And, as a separate but related issue, did those of you who have done IVF use ICSI? My doctor (at Shady Grove) suggested that, because my husband's morphology is just barely above acceptable, we should consider ICSI. But wouldn't that also increase our chances of having a huge surplus of viable/freeze-able embryos?[/quote]
No. There's not a connection between ICSI and increasing your chances of having a huge surplus of embryos. How many embryos you end up with depends more on how many mature eggs you produce.[/quote]
