[quote=Anonymous]Op again. Thank you all so much for continuing to provide input, things to consider, and how/when you told your kids.

PP, your experience really resonates with me. Through attrition, more people wound up finding out about our infertility struggle and IVF than we are comfortable with now. We're using our last failed cycle to create a tabula rasa for ourselves. We're telling 90% of folks including my parents that IVF failed, we have no more embryos, and are stopping treatment. And absolutely no one except for us gets any input in the DE process. I'm glad that you were able to channel your openness in conversations with your kids. It is a relief to hear that they have only been marginally interested bc it's only a part of their life-long story. I hope your dad has been keeping his comments to himself.

RE # of eggs. Thanks for clarifying. At first I didn't understand bc we're doing DE in my country of origin. If the anonymous donor doesn't produce a minimum of six, the clinic provides a new donor free of charge. Of course, that doesn't guarantee the number of blasts. It's easy to get enchanted, so thanks for the reminder to manage my expectations.[/quote]
