What to do with our 4 little snow babies

Hi guys,
Its been a while since I have written. Just don't have a lot of time these days. I would like to ask for your thoughts on frozen embryos. I am now 48 and an not sure about having another baby. We have 4 frozen and are having mixed feelings as to what sould happen to them. We can not destroy them, donate them to research or just let them thaw. That leaves 2 options left: donate them to a couple or do a compassionate transfer. I have spoke with my RE about the compassionate transfer and he says if we do this there is a chance they could implant. We would try to time it when it is possible but no do all the meds and ultrasounds. So if they implant it would be by Gods hands.
Has anyone had this done or is fighting with the same decisions to make?
Thanks,
D

Wow! That's a predicament! The compassionate transfer sounds like a good idea. I would probably do that in your shoes, but that's easy to say when I'm not actually in your shoes. What if they all implant? Or two of them? Maybe transfer two at a time? What a tough position! Donating would be nice, too! Either of those would be a great option! I wish you the best in the decision-making process!
