not to detract from Laurie's incredible thread above (as person of adoption we're very very strongly in support of adoption as option! = ) ) but we've been having discussions with different ppl about harvesting eggs to be frozen. from folks around us we've heard that every year beyond a certain age the increase in difficulty conceiving and increase in potential BDs start to outweigh the positives of having a natural born child (as opposed to one that did not come from one's flesh and blood). we're not sure how we'll feel five years down the road, or ten but if we can take steps now to ensure a greater possibility of fertility then we'd like to explore our options.
we've never really looked into process/proceedure but we know it isn't totally non invasive. owie. also the ethical questions that come with what to do with frozen eggs however long down the line decisions need to be made regarding their future....so many things to consider.
has anyone here had their own eggs frozen for possible future pregnancies? or knows of anyone who has either done it for themselves or to donate to another?
thx in advance.
