A 33 year old mother of an 11 year old (natural pregnancy) and  18 month
old nursling, has one embryo left from in vitro done for the 18 month old
because of blocked tubes (now has one blocked tube, ovaries and uterus left).
 Future plans include a hysterectomy and bladder repair for endometriosis and
prolapsed bladder.
Her embryo will be destroyed in December (3 yr. limit).  Doctor will not
consider in vitro until toddler has been weaned for 3 months.  Toddler is in
no hurry to wean and mother has mixed feelings.  She is torn between weaning
and using the embryo.
Encouraging her to dialogue with docs who are not very supportive of extended
nursing.  What options to you "wise ones"  see here?
