She and her husbands sperm created three children, she was crying over the loss of one of the embryos but what about the one she chose not to implant? Using her logic that is also her child.
shareNot everyone agrees with the ethics of choosing embryos and discarding others. The OP is entitled to her opinion.

They check the viability of each embryos and implant the once with the best chance of implanting. Parents who do IVF struggle with what do with their other embryos so don't make her out to be a monster. And when she implanted two babies she envisioned having 2 children, she has a right to mourn that. Don't tell her how to grieve.
shareNo one is doing that, OP is asking what is happening with her other children.

They call them "snowflake babies", embryos that were never transplanted. Most are kept frozen, and then donated. My friend's son and his wife can't conceive due to low sperm count, so they're looking into snowflake babies. It's costly and an emotional decision.
Knock if off Napolean make yourself a dang quesadil-la!
But if they chose the most viable embryos and one of them didn't form why would anyone want the ones that are even less viable ?????
share^ I'm not that familiar with the process, but I imagine there are viable ones that are not transplanted, by choice of the parents. Some women may have several strong viable ones, but only want one or two. Megan was surprised she only had one strong viable one, and the others were all 60% or less likely to take (something like that the doctor said). Then you have cases like Octomom who had 14 viable ones that we know of and all took, and 8 on the last try.
I think it's great they can help infertile couples, but I can't help but think of those viable ones that never get transplanted.

If she really thought it was a child she wouldn't have left it high and dry. I'm sorry when I did IVF I couldn't bear to leave any embryos outside my body. Frozen or not I couldn't trust it was the right thing. But that's just me. I had to sign a consent form because the hospital didn't think it was a good idea to transplant them all. None took anyway. But I thank God for my infertility because I ended up with the best (adopted) son in the world :)
