This is such a tricky and difficult subject. We still have 9 frozen embryos, 2 of which we kind of know weren't that great of quality, so that leaves 7 unknowns. We started with 26. Out of the 17 we used, 2 m/c and we had b/g twins, leaving us w/ our present 9. I wish I could peer into my crystal ball and know what the quality of the embryos are, for that would make the decision as to what to do easier. Our twins were conceived from this frozen collection. DH and I sometimes talk about what we should do, but never really come to a concensus. DH says we are done at 3 children, but again I find it so hard to close that door, after struggling so long to have a family. Right now I am taking it one day at a time.
For all of you p/g and Heathermac, I can tell you what we did after the birth of our twins - No birth control what so ever. I actually began charting, temping, etc when the twins were 6 months old. I had stopped nursing and finally got my body back to where sex was comfortable again. (sorry if TMI) DH and I knew that we wanted another child and figured that it took 3 years to have the twins that we didn't want to take a chance. As it turned out, we got p/g on our own, right when we had consulted w/ the RE about doing a FET. Going back to the RE was a good decision anyway, b/c of my m/c issue as well, as I was followed closely.
It is kind of funny that this question was posted, b/c in the car tonight DH and I were talking what we were going to do in terms of Birth Control. I have said that neither of us is going to do sterilization, and he agrees. I also said that I really don't want to take the pill, b/c I am the worst pill taker in the world. I can't even take a prenatal vitamin on a daily basis. Long ago when I thought I had to worry about getting p/g and took the pill, I always forgot to take at least 1 to 3 out of the month, and I always had a hard time getting the prescription filled. We both hate condoms, so that leaves taking our chances. If it is meant to be, it will be. After having timed intercourse since year 2000, it will be a new concept just having sex just to have it :) Neither of us can remember what that is like... I am basically putting it in God's hands.
I do have a friend who did IVF, conceived twins, and went on birth control right away after having her twins. I also know someone else who conceived twin girls through donor egg IVF; she and her husband wanted another child and decided to do donor egg IVF again, and conceived twin boys !!! She just gave birth 12/1 to her boys and her twin girls just turned 2 on 12/17 !!!! She is extremely busy to say the least :)
Good luck to everyone and your decisions :)
Take Care,
Meg
