Unexplained Infertility:An unusual situation

2008-05-19

Name: Vaylan Hello All

This is our first visit to this board. My wife and I are in an unusual situation :

After a long struggle with infertility, God blessed us with twins. They were born through IVF. As part of the IVF, we have ten more healthy embryos that are cryogenically preserved.

As I look at my infant son and daughter, my thoughts keep going to the ten others that are sitting in a lab.

I would like to bring them into this world and find loving families for all of them. I am just wondering how to do that. I do not think we can bring up ten ( plus 2 !) children.

We live in the US. Please write with ideas as to what can be done. Kindly do not say \" donate the embryos to medical research\" - they are our children.

Hi Vaylan

Hi there
Do you mind telling the age of your wife? I think ivf success has lot to do with age. I am planning to get it done soon. Also can you tell the name of that fertility temple? can u contact that temple being in USA or do u need to go to india.
thanks, shobha

Shobha -

My wife is in her early thirties. The name of the temple is Garbharakshambika temple in Tanjore Dist. You can look it up on the Net.

Regarding whether you have to go to India or contact from US - I suppose this depends on your personal preference. In my opinion visiting the temple is a powerful experience , however there is a procedure for people to get pooja done on their behalf and get the prasad sent to them. ( do Internet search and info can be found in the first few links )

Congratulations

Congratulations on your twins ! I woud definitely donate the healthy embryos anonymously to childless couples who don' t even have IVF working in their favour. Being an IVF patient myself and still waiting for it to work, I met so many who didn' t have luck after 4-5 IVF' s. The embryos were just not good enough quality. All the best.

Congratulations on your twins. I have had 2 failed IVF' s even though my embryo' s were of good quality and size. Now I am looking for a very good IVF hospital. Could you please tell me where you got your IVF done from, it' s site address.
Looking forward to your early reply.

Hi Rupinder and Sunitha and others

I got several emails asking for same details.Here are the details - I included everything I could think of

1. IVF was done at Northern Fertility in Philadelphia. Dr. Friedman is an expert at this and has been featured in Discovery Health etc

2. I understand that the cost is around $12500 (thank God insurance covered it) Had to pay for all the meds though.

3. Guys I don´ t know what meds you took etc but I´ ve heard most people are successfull with Menopur, of course with Lupron for control. You should also be taking injections of progesterone oil after implantations

4. I think Dr.Friedman´ s strong point is his personal care and his familiarity with the latest medicines.Plus he is a great surgeon and has done more than 5000 laparoscopic procedures.

5. Finally, it might help to do a laparoscopy to see if there are hidden factors like endometriosis, septate uterus, cysts etc etc these are not visible with ultrasound.

6. Last but not least my wife got a huge psychological boost by going to a special " fertility" temple in Tanjore Dist. As all of us know by now the psychological challenge in infertility is as big as the physical challenge.

Good luck to everyone, hope God has bestowed parenthood on all.

Hello!

Hi Vaylan,
Congratulations on your babies.
Some questions for you:
1. Where did you get the IVF done? India or in the US?
2. What does cryogenically preserved mean?

Thanks

Re:

1. IVF was done in US. Doctor is an expert in this field.

2. Cryogenically preserved means that they are stored in liquid nitrogen at a very cold temperature to preserve the embryo.

Good luck

GOOD

Hi Vaylan,
Congratulations
Good to know that you are thinking for others.

You can find one such person named Leena, who had posted messageid=1108&table_name=dis_unexpinfertility

You can go thru previous messages when ever you find time. People in this kind of situations get depressed & so sometimes stop visiting the site so may not see your message. but they do wonder here sometime & will get in touch with you.
