Frozen embryos

VegasGal1978

We are 99% certain that we are one and done, but this week I am faced with a decision that is kind of throwing me for a loop. We conceived B via IVF, which magically took on the first try with one perfect little embryo. 

The dilemma... We have two embryos frozen.  We need to either pay for storage Or discard.  Thinking about signing the paper to discard has completely fried my brain.  B was to be our only for a number of legit, well thought out reasons.  But what if we change our mind?  We can do the whole med process again, but that was a bear.  I have these two great frosties ready for use.  The storage cost is not small.  It would be a lot to pay for a couple that is 99% certain that we are only having one.

I know what I have to do, I am just majorly surprised that it is bothering me so much.  No point to this post other than airing frustration.  Thanks for listening.

Seeing as your LO is still so little, I would pay the storage fee for this year to give yourselves time to ensure that your are O&D. Our son is an IVF baby, too. While, in the moment, I was bummed that none of our unused embryos survived to freeze, it was a relief to not have to make this decision. One upside to having really crappy egg quality on my part, I suppose. Enjoy your daughter and take time to fully consider your decision.

Good luck on this decision and agree with smudges. Give yourself a little time. I knew we were O&D most likely but I still didn't get my tubes tied after H....may I ask though, have you considered embryo donation? I hope that's not too personal and apologies if it is. I, just curios because a friend has been gearing up to adopt embryos and I've found the process really amazing.

Thanks ladies. We haven't signed the paper yet. We may not.

@EMarieMe -  we considered donation.  Unfortunately DH and I had a difference of opinion on the subject.  I am not sure we can come together on a decision to donate.
