Subject: Re: Frozen embryos 'better for IVF'


Thanks for posting this, I'm planning on doing IVF-due to my 27 abdominal 
surgeries (three being cesareans) I've been strongly encouraged by 3 
obstetricians and 1 perinatoligist --to not carry a pregnancy myself (although I
want to).  So I'll be using a surrogate (most likely, but getting pregnant 
myself, would be unsafe and even though I'm a cryonicist, I would like to keep 
living as long as I can ;-) ).  I've been concerned about some of the 
conflicting information I've heard about freezing embryos, as it would be best 
for me to do this now at age 33 (for my egg health).  Freezing would give me 
time to use a surrogate when I'm in my late 30's or in my 40's.  It is great to 
see news that not only is it a viable option for me, it is in some ways superior
:-).      


Health, Happiness, Wisdom & Longevity :-) -- best wishes from...  Austin, Texas
