My partner and I had IVF resulting in our LO who’s just coming up to a year old. We’ve got 2 frozen embryos and I’m so torn about what to do.
My pregnancy was really rough with GD, PE and started to develop HELLP after 32 weeks. I was hospitalised and unable to work, walk and function at times. My partner ended up hospitalised with life threatening serious health problems just before I was induced for medical reasons. He’s had to go to part time work and is still struggling almost a year later, as am I with complications from pregnancy/birth.
Our DD is amazing, she’s a very easy baby and is the light of our lives. However, I’m conflicted about what to do with the frozen embryos. In a perfect world I’d implant them and have more babies but I’m scared about mine and my partner’s health and leaving my DD an orphan (me because of pregnancy and her father in 10 years because of his ongoing illness).
Out of all options I can only use them or donate to another person because of my own beliefs but I so want another it hurts.
