The Other End of IVF

IVF can be a very daunting prospect and there is a lot of information and resources available around the IVF process, from drugs and stimulation to embryo testing and transfer, but there is little discussion on what happens when the IVF Journey comes to an end.

While it is a fortunate and privileged position to be in, having unused embryos creates a dilemma which is not often talked about. While those embryos will not be transferred many people have an emotional attachment and find it difficult to let go of them.

In this episode I discuss my journey and those of friends who have been faced with the decision to pay for another year of storage or not.
