Congratulations!
I am so happy for you. Santa was good to you this year!
Deciding what to do with the embryo's is a very difficult thing to decide. It was something I hadn't thought of when starting IVF in 2004. But, of course we had to decide when we started. My husband and I didn't want them donated to another couple. It might sound mean and uncaring and selfish but we didn't want a child of ours out there and us not know about it!
Destroying them is a difficult thing as well. Our decision was to donate them for research. I am a nurse and feel strongly about research and improving the IVF process. We were told that they would be for the improvement of the thawing process. I figured if we weren't going to use them, they should be put to good use.
That being said, it never came down to it. We used all of our eggs the first round of IVF and only had 1 egg the second and thankfully, that ended in a pregnancy.
We are looking at doing IVF again soon so will be faced with the same issues. I am not sure how we will manage the embryos this time?
