Frozen Embryo Transfer
I think the process of embryo transfer is a great thing. It gives individuals who
may have difficulty conceiving the opportunity to become parents. If I was
married and we were experiencing fertility issues, I would definitely consider the
embryo transfer. However, I would not want an embryo that had been frozen for
24 years. I would weary about the condition of an old frozen embryo. There
could be some undetected issues that may arise during the pregnancy that cause
medical problems or disabilities for the child. There has not been enough
research documented on the use of old embryo regarding the physical condition
of the babies that were conceived, nor the reasons why the other embryos were
not successful.
There are advantages and disadvantages of the frozen embryo transfer. Some of
the advantages are being able to carry a child and experiencing childbirth, starting
a family, and making use of unused or donated embryos. Some of the
disadvantages of embryos transfer are the expenses associated with the
procedure, various medication, multiple attempts to conceive, mental anxiety,
and stress. In conclusion, it does matter to me how old the embryo is.
