Egg storage

So we have had 2 IVF babies over the last 5 years :) I have 5 eggs in storage but can’t bring myself to not keep paying the £375 pa to the clinic for storage. I know we don’t want any more but they are my babies and it’s feels sad. Maybe I’m not ready? Anyone else been in this position?

This will be something, i probably have to think about in the future. Maybe talk to an IVF therapist, they can help you decide what you would like to do. Donate them to research, another family, transfer them during a time they won’t turn into a pregnancy, have a funeral. Anything to make piece with it

I don’t mind the research thing as it will help in the future (no way could I donate the embryos to another couple) it’s more the timing what in 5 years time I suddenly want to try again? It’s so unlikely as I’m 40 next year but I still feel odd!!! Maybe I’ll pay another storage and see how I feel in 12mths Thank you for your message x

@Natalie thank you for replying, this totally weirds me out though 😂 I would have 6 in there 👀

Ivf messes with your mind even after good news!!🤦🏻‍♀️

Hahaha can you imagine. I’m the same i could have 5!

I came across something on insta the other day where they can turn embryos into keepsake jewelry. The account is blossomkeepsake. I’m still trying to decide whether it’s for me or not. I also have the same hesitation as you about destroying them. I don’t want any more children but it feels wrong to destroy the embryos. Maybe having them in jewelry would be a nice way of keeping them with me.
