[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I am sorry you had to make that hard decision. I was always curious how they would handle that issue. I know the contract states that you can terminate for genetic reasons but wasn't sure if there would be a lot of push back.

Also, we never had a frozen embryo while in the shared risk program. Do you have to use them before your next fresh or can you go straight to another fresh and leave the frosty for future kids since FETs are way cheaper out of pocket?[/quote]

Thanks for the message. I was told I would still be in the program, and my baby's diagnosis was T21 (Down syndrome), which isn't a fatal diagnosis like T18/T13, etc. I'd bet with any chromosomal abnormality, you wouldn't get any push back. My contract didn't specifically address any of it, if I recall, but I promptly emailed my nurse about it and she and my Dr both confirmed that I would still be in the program. I am meeting with him next week to discuss what our next steps are, so I'll report back if anything else comes up.

As far as frozen embryos are concerned, yes, you do have to use any frozen embryos before moving onto a new fresh cycle. Otherwise, I would go to a straight fresh cycle and pay additional for PGD since I initially didn't sign up for that. I would love to bank embryos for future babies if I could! If this FET takes, I'm pretty sure I'd do Shared Risk all over again, if I was accepted a second time.[/quote]
