Hi all,
This is sort of an odd one I'm currently grappling with. I will preface this by saying it is like an embarrassment of riches as far as infertility is concerned, so please forgive me if it comes off as "woe is me, I have so many options"!
We have a lovely DD conceived via IVF and born in Oct of '07. We were fortunate enough to have 5 blastocysts frozen for future use from that procedure. We have been planning to undergo FET this summer.
Since we are never careful, we ended up getting very surprisingly preggers naturally in February. I subsequently miscarried at 6 weeks. Nevertheless, it was exciting that for the first time ever my body conceived!
We are now back on plan to use the frozen babies this summer. In the meantime, we are actively TTA by charting, etc. I'm a little bit torn -- I mean, now that it seems I *could* potentially do this on my own, wouldn't it be nice to do it naturally and avoid the hormones, etc.? On the other hand, I'm not sure what the heck I'd do with those frozen embies, and I'm paying over $600/year to keep them stored, so shouldn't I use them?
WWYD? What are you planning to do with any unused embies when all is said and done?
TIA, and fertility wishes to all you beautiful mamas and mamas-to-be,
Gina

. It sounds like you've been through more than your share of infertility nightmares. To me I always thought it should be either "hard got" or "hard kept", never both. So sorry to hear of your m/c, it must have been devastating. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for that last frozen embie to be a success story for you!! It only takes one, right? Best of luck.
