2nd IVF try with frozen embryos? where does the process start?
Mar 20, 2009 by Marisa | Posted in Trying to Conceive
I did a 1st try IVF and it failed. However I still have hopes that 5 more good quality embryos got frozen.
What should I expect on a 2nd try? where does the process start (comparing to the 1st try)?, When in my cycle?
I have many doubts and the Internet only provides detailed info of 1st try procedures. Thanks
I am so sorry your cycle failed. I know it hurts so take some time to do something nice for yourself.
To answer your question, you can try searching "Frozen embryo transfer protocol" and should get more information.
I am about to do a frozen embryo transfer (FET) too and here is how it works for me.
Once I start my AF I will start taking estrace (estradiol) 3 times daily to plump up my lining. I go about 14 days and then check my lining. If it looks good I start progesterone in oil injections in the evenings. If my lining is not thick enough I continue with the estrace until it's ready. My embryo transfer (ET) will be about 4 days after starting the PIO. In addition to the estrace and PIO, I start endometrium suppositories the day of my ET and then twice daily. I know I will be put on Medrol, low dose aspirin, and antibiotics sometime before ET but not sure exactly when. Then it's the dreaded 2ww!
Know that some women are put on BCPs and/or Lupron for their protocols but I am not so I really don't know how that works. I do know a great place you can ask though! Fertilethoughts.com has a FET board with lots of women cycling now or getting ready to start one. They are a great and welcoming group! Here is that link http://www3.fertilethoughts.com/forums/f orumdisplay.php?f=25
One great thing about a FET is that you are not on the stimming medications and won't experience all of those wacky side effects!
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! I wish you luck!

What do I do with my frozen embryos?
Feb 13, 2008 by disneydream2 | Posted in Pregnancy
I have several frozen embryos and cannot have children due to hysterectomy. I would love to have another child but can't. What can I do with those? Trish
You can always find a surrogate to carry your child. She would be implanted with your fertilized embryos & carry your child. Usually with surrogates, they implant more than 1 embryo for more of a chance for at least one to attach....but you could end up with multiples!!
Good luck!

You could hire a surrogate as long as you could find someone to fertilize the egg...

If you have the money and are inclined, you could find a surrogate. Or you could donate them to a couple who wants a child, provided you don't have a moral objection to that. Otherwise you could have them destroyed if you know you will never use them and don't want anyone else to .

What should I do with leftover frozen embryos?
Jul 20, 2006 by rollo_tomassi423 | Posted in Law & Ethics
We have some leftover embryos from in vitro procedures. We do not want to have more children. We do not want to donate these embryos to someone else. What if they were successfully implanted in another woman's uterus and the kid shows up on my doorstep twenty years from now? What if that mother abuses my genetic offspring? What if she smokes or drinks while she is pregnant and the kid comes out with horrible birth defects?
George Bush has decided that it is immoral to use them for research. So that means they must either stay in the freezer forever or we can throw them away. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Donate them to the California State Program, Voted in by California Voters, for Stem Cell Research. The fetus could be a building block for a cure to Heart Disease or an actual cure for some person who would die young, otherwise, and unnecessarily.
The person that survives may also have been someone who was against the practices of stem cell research

What should be done with frozen embryos at fertility clinics?
by frdoug
An article in the current edition of Christianity Today asks the question above. Author Ron Stoddart writes, “When couples choose in-vitro fertilization to create embryos to help build their families, the unused embryos are frozen for future attempts at pregnancy. There are over 500,000 embryos currently frozen in storage in American clinics.”
Question: What should be done with the embryos?
A few years ago I read about a couple who answered that question by adopting a frozen embryo and having it planted in her womb. After she gave birth, they said they were planning to do it
that’s a tough one. i can see the merit, in that many couples have difficulty and need the assistance of science to achieve the goal of children, but there should be temperance involved with such a decision. the idea of leaving a life in stasis on the shelf of a freezer seems almost ghoulish. it’s almost as if they were being treated as survival food (not to be eaten, of course – but a “stand by, just in case” family) sitting in the dark waiting for the day the “big one” hits. then we’ll break’m out and put’m to good use. not sure i like the idea of that.
