Brexit and frozen embryos in Europe - WWYD?

My dh and I had ivf in Poland last year, which resulted in our DTs. We’ve got 2 frozen embryos that we're unsure of what to do with, whether we want more kids etc. Due to us being foreigners we can ship them back to the UK, (otherwise they’d have to be donated due to local law, can’t destroy them there).

I appreciate that I’m lucky to have them, and probably extremely selfish to not want to donate them, my wwyd question is would you ship them back to the UK before brexit happens and store them here, or leave them in Poland and hope there’s no issues shipping them home in the future if we decide we don’t want any more children?

100% ship them back. Wouldn't even think twice. The worry of any uncertainty over something so precious would just play on my mind otherwise.

Ship them back, if you can. I probably would anyway, if possible.

Thank you both, it’s kind of what I was leaning towards due to the uncertainty. Will start researching best clinics/shipping methods ASAP!

What are the risks of shipping them? Would they be damaged potentially?
