Now we're on to donor eggs.<br /><br />The way he positioned embryo banking is that you're never going to get a better response than you have now, and so if you know you want more than one kid, it's your best chance at getting enough embryos to make that possible. (Of course, my response is particularly low - in 5 IVFs, we never had more than 3 embryos to start with, and never had anything to freeze.) So we figured, make the most of what we can get right now, and try to get a bunch (we were planning to do CGH testing, given I'm 36 and only about 30% of my eggs are expected to be normal, and I had two miscarriages due to chromosomal abnormalities.)<br /><br />Anyway, maybe more detail than you wanted, but I've written up all my cycles and consults over on my blog and would be happy to chat offline if you'd find it helpful.
