Frozen Embryos

[KayCan]

Hello, it's been a long time since I posted on this forum,but I was looking for some advice. Me and my husband were lucky enough to have a successful IVF journey back in 2019 and we have a daughter who is 2&1/2. We have 3 frozen embryos left and we want to thaw these and try for another child. I suppose I'm just asking if anyone knows what the steps are to do this, do I contact my GP in the first instance or the team in Middlesbrough where we had the IVF? Any help appreciated thank you 😊

Hi Kay

In a very similar situation to you, daughter born early 2020, we have 7 in storage which we are paying monthly for. I’m still in two minds on a second. If I could fall naturally it would be a no brainer but the cost of it puts me off.

I know for me it would be a case of speaking with our clinic, I would imagine it would be the same for yourself as any further IVF rounds would need to be funded by yourself… that’s my understanding of it anyway.

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply. To be honest I'm still pondering, but I'd like to at least know what we would face if we were to try. I know there would be a cost this time, and the costs will likely have increased along with every other blooming thing in this world at present.
