Struggling with the decision to take a break from our IVF journey. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, disappointments, and hope. But lately, the physical and emotional toll is becoming overwhelming. Has anyone else paused their IVF treatments? How did you cope with the break, and what strategies helped you navigate this challenging time? Grateful for any advice or shared experiences.
Could you please explain why you choose not to freeze embryos? I took a brief break between retrievals and transfer to relax and discuss some concerns with my doctor after a change in laws. My clinic was supportive and transitioning to FET prep was smooth.
“Why do doctors recommend freezing embryos initially when undergoing fertility treatments, in order to prevent potential loss of eggs during the thawing process? There is also a concern that fertilization rates could decrease with eggs that have been frozen before.”
