Freezing Embryos

They were able to freeze 2 of our embryos. That is very good news. Using frozen embryos are good and bad. They are good because I don't have to go through all those shots and the egg retrieval again, they are ready for implantation. The bad thing is that your pregnancy rate goes down to about 30%. They gave us a 65% pregnancy rate with our one fresh embryo. So it goes down a lot. Whether or not this pregnancy works we will be using both of our frozen embryos in the future. Because the pregnancy rate drops they will put back both at the same time. The price doesn't really drop that much with the use of frozen embryos. It only knocks off about $3000 of the total price, meaning it will be about $8000-$10000 to do another cycle. Ouch! Thank goodness for student loans! ha!

That is so much money. I can't believe it, but at least you can use those embroys. Technology is so amazing.
