In this Ask The Egg Whisperer episode, Penny sent in a question. Here’s what she asked, “I'm 38 and a half. In the past six months, I've done three egg retrieval to preserve my fertility. In cycle one, I had 15 eggs frozen. Cycle two, four embryos with donors from one normal five AB one, lone mosaic, five DB. Cycle three, seven embryos. Five day five, one day six, one day seven waiting for PGT results. I'm hoping to start a family as a single mom by choice. I want to try to conceive as soon as next month after having an HSG. I ultimately want to have two kids, maybe both with the same donor or possibly with a partner with my frozen eggs, depending on life unfolds. And my fertility doctor recommended trying at least one IUI now that I've eggs and embryos banked, because I could possibly avoid the cost of a transfer and avoid shots. This sounds appealing, but shots sound terrifying. Would you recommend trying IUI with donor sperm first? What are the pros and cons? If yes. How many IUIs would you recommend before moving to a transfer?" Tune in to hear my answer to Penny's question, and to other listener questions. Do you want to learn more about Egg Freezing?
