I know that right now, I amnot sure what I want to do in the future but I do know that at least I did the procedure and can choose to use these eggs or not. If I did not do the procedure, then I would have one less choice. Also, your statistic of 18% is very broad....first, the number depends on the clinic, age at transfer and whether you use fresh or thawed embryos etc. I will only use the official stat from NYU that is reported to SART for my age group and a thawedd cycle...it is over 33% per cycle for a live birth.Welcome to My Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413909346065067482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130952057525576311.post-9442909931690089742008-12-14T23:06:00.000+00:002008-12-14T23:06:00.000+00:00I get what you are saying - but I guess my worry i...I get what you are saying - but I guess my worry is that IVF is actually a procedure that has a very low success rate - something like only 18% of all embroyos that are re-emplanted result in a pregnancy. So although the initial egg havesting may not be too traumatic, when you have to go and try several times using IVF for a baby it can very traumatic and very stressful. So, it's like - maybe do the egg freezing but also, women could consider getting pregnant as a single mom, co-parenting, adoption as well.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162958646582442895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130952057525576311.post-61232314982662055352008-12-14T10:34:00.000+00:002008-12-14T10:34:00.000+00:00Well, I disagree with most of your comments about ...Well, I disagree with most of your comments about egg freezing. I did it recently and it wasn't a lengthly process (about 2 weeks), it was hardly painful, and costs are relative depnding on your insurance, insurance coverage or lack of. Personally, I recommend the procedure if a woman is on the fence. If you regret it, there is no going back later to do it.Welcome to My Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413909346065067482noreply@blogger.com
