Here's a question...embryo adoption/donation?

Has anyone ever done this? Looked into it? I know our doctor mentioned it briefly at the appointment and I want to say he said it was less expensive than traditional IVF but I cannot remember!

DH and I have always talked about possibly adopting and obviously if we ever want another child now, its either IVF or adoption. At first the thought of using donor embryos was completely off the table for me but now I'm kinda thinking that would be awesome. Those embryos are available for donation/adoption and I'm longing to carry another baby and he mentioned that often times FET had better success than fresh...I don't know. This is all so confusing!!!!! Any advice or thoughts?

    I completely second everything @JimBobCooter‌ said! I also want to add that in my experience, two fresh cycles and four frozen, Frozen are much much much easier and less stressful!!! I personally have bad reaction to anesthesias and that makes recovering in time for transfer on a fresh cycle extremely hard for me. There have been a lot of studies about FET vs fresh. The strongest survive thaw giving them a better chance to make it (and is why some clinics will only freeze higher quality eggs and not all) and research has strongly indicated that frozen are "healthier" bigger babies: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2083040/IVF-babies-born-frozen-embryos-healthier-fresh-ones.html
    And you can google "FET babies health vs fresh cycle" or something like that to see more. Anyway, Just my experience and what I have found in my experiences. I wish you luck wherever you decide to go and reiterate my sentiments I have said before- it takes a truly big heart to adopt- any adoption!
