When people know about IVF but probe as to frozen embryos??          Baby Banter Forum Index -> General Discussions View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message high hopes Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 24 Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:13 pm    Post subject: When people know about IVF but probe as to frozen embryos?? Hi, We have a 7 month old boy through IVF and have 4 embryos in the freezer. I have been selective about who we tell about IVF but am sometimes reluctant to disclose to all that we tell that we have embies on ice, as it can pose dilemmas if we don't use them all etc. When people ask, do you have any in storage, I really don't to want to tell them, only really close people but not sure what to say, besides changing the subject really quickly! If I say, that's personal, well it's pretty obvious what the answer is! Anyone else found themselves in similar situations? _________________ Me 33 DH 40 TTC 2 years IVF # 1 1 blast ET 07.03 & 4 frozen Back to top Author Message Pajoolie Joined: 23 Aug 2007 Posts: 3359 Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 4:30 pm    Post subject: I havent been in this situation. Just stick with the "its personal" or just be straight up and that you havent decided. When the time is right a decision will be made. I would reiterate the heartbreak that was IVF and maybe that will reinforce that your not ready to talk about it. Good luck xx Pajoolie _________________ Me 29 DH 35 - TTC 6 yrs 4 IUI Dec 06- Mar 07 - BFN #1 IVF May 07 (ICSI) -BFN #1 FET July 07 - BFN #2 IVF Oct 07 (ICSI) - BFP m/c 8 wks #2 FET Feb 08 - BFN #3 IVF May 08 (ICSI) - BFN #3 FET July 08 - BFP m/c 9 wks #4 IVF Jan/Feb 09 (ICSI) - Back to top Author Message luisella Joined: 11 Apr 2008 Posts: 413 Location: Sydney Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:04 am    Post subject: people will have their own ideas and judgments on whats right............. however untill they are faced with the situation themsleves they have no right to judge........they cant possibly know what its like unless they are in your shoes i am doing ivf pgd preimplantation genetic diagnosis to screen out a genetic disease i have.... i know people don't agree or approve but they are not in my shoes when i tell people i really don't care whether they agree or not..... they can like it or lump it...... _________________ me 28 dh 28 doing pgd ivf for genetic disease 1st cycle july/august Back to top Author Message kerrie01 Joined: 26 Nov 2007 Posts: 125 Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2008 4:15 pm    Post subject: *IVF PREG MENTIONED* Hi I am in the same situation as you. I am 36 weeks preg and have 4 on ice also and I am totally confused as to what to do with them. Not sure if we are wanting another baby yet, but people ask me as well. I tell people no only one. And then there is no reciprocation from them. Closed sentence. But the people I need to vent to or want to ask for an opinion they are the ones I tell about what really is going on. I have no idea what to do yet and that makes discussing it even harder. Good luck with your journey and I hope you come to a happy decision, what ever you do. Congrats with your family and keep well.

I found that people where asking because they where curious about how it all works. We have a beautiful boy who is now 4 months old and I have 2 'frosties' left. I find most people are fine with it when the process is explained to them. I say better to keep them on ice for potential use than to discard them straight away.

Re frozen embies, we have 3 frozen blastocysts but don't know what to do with them. We're not keen on donating them, but hate the thought of destroying them. Would love to use them but feel I'm too old for another child (at 43). Using them mainly because I don't want them destroyed sounds a bit foolish. Is anyone in a similar situation?
