Frozen embryos

8 replies

I have frozen embryos stored, donor conceived. My current partner does not want any children, he says if I want to use them we will have to break up. I understand this but I am unsure if I can leave them. I always wanted another child. Can anyone offer any advice?

What is it you are asking? If you should leave him, if you can continue to keep them in storage? Your post isn't very clear

Whether I should leave him? I am worried I might regret or resent him if I just left them frozen.

What do you want more? This partner, who you’ll possibly resent, or a child, which you wanted so much, you created and stored embryos to have?

What @MotherOfShihTzus said. It depends how much you want a second child. For me, I would pick the child, not the man. Do you have the financial means to have another child alone?

Thanks for your comments, yes I hope I would be able to support another child. It’s a big step to leave him, it’s only a small chance the frozen embryos will work.

Never let a man stop you from motherhood! The man can be replaced! Just wondering if you’re still allowing yourself to be limited by this guy?

@ApplewispGoing to give it a go in 2026 if I can pluck up enough courage. They have a low chance so it’s going to be tough.

Well if you definitely don't give them a go then they will have no chance. Sounds like you want to use them so give them a go.
