[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely wait a little while longer.  At the very least one more year.  Mine have been frozen for 7 years and even though I KNOW I'm not having another, it's tough closing that chapter of my life.  We were planning on using them to try for a 2nd but ended up getting pregnant on our own after our first was born via IVF.  They're not even quality embryos.  They were the worst of the batch of four we created first go around and the two better ones we did put in didn't take.

But damn it's hard to commit to the decision.[/quote]
+1 this is exactly our situation but with one high quality embryo remaining. It was basically 50/50 chance between that embryo and the embryo that became my 6 year old daughter. We also got pregnant naturally and somewhat unexpectedly for our second and we are 100% happy with two. I feel like Three would turn our world into a tailspin but we just can’t seem to consent to destroy or donate the embryo to science so we’ve just been paying $400 yearly to not have  to make a decision. 
I never thought I’d feel this way. I’m a scientist and atheist but the idea that it was a 50/50 chance for my daughter...I can understand the desire for the compassionate transfer that PP mentioned. [/quote]
