There is another layer to this IVF stuff and it involves consent forms, decisions and embryo travel...
Cryology: Reproductive tissue storage...
The goal of the first round of IVF will be to have enough healthy embryos to freeze for future rounds, whether it be for siblings of the first round baby (s) or another go at success.
Having multiple healthy embryos the first round, means the next time the cost is much lower, the process somewhat less complicated, though still hormone filled!
Our embryos will be stored in Florida. We will pay for their transportation there and then for them to stay there. The cost is way lower than I expected it to be, meaning it will be 200-300 a year, versus the thousands I thought it would cost.
With embryo storage comes lots of questions and decisions.
For example, if something happens to both Joel and I, who gets legal rights to the embryos? If something happens to one of us, but not the other, the embryo goes automatically into full custody of the loan surviving parent.
We have to sign lots of consent forms. We have to have someone not related to us be our witness. It's intense to the max.
