[quote=Anonymous]We had one normal embryo on ice. I stored it for a year and then filled out the form to have it destroyed. There was no option offered to donate it to research by my clinic and I called and asked about it but then didn't pursue it beyond that. I did not struggle with the decision of whether to use it for our family (we are done) and my DH was not open to the idea of embryo donation (I was AMA, so I'm not sure anyone would have wanted it anyway). But it did feel like the end of an era and I held on to the form for about a week before getting it notarized and sent in. This is probably a bit twisted, but I also ran through the scenario in my mind - what if something happens to one of our kids and we want another? But I had to be realistic with myself and admit that if something tragic happened, I don't think we would even use the embryo in that scenario. We're old-ish. We're done. Good luck OP. [/quote]
