Should I freeze embryos?

Grateful for this community!

I froze my eggs twice at age 34 and have 26 eggs. Right before my second freezing I met my partner and we’re planning to marry. I’m now 36 and we are talking about starting to try for kids when I’m 37.5 or 38 (I just started a new job, he’s in a career transition, hoping to get married first, etc).

However I’m wondering if we should be freezing embryos now just in case. My new role comes with some fertility benefits so very luckily it wouldn’t be paying 100% of pocket.

I am realllyyyyy not excited at the prospect of doing it again but also am trying to think longterm. (And it seems like unfreezing my eggs, fertilizing, and refreezing would be less effective than doing another retrieval)

That being said if I could only have 1 child biologically and instead fostered or adopted I think I would be ok. But also I don’t have any kids nos so what if I feel completely different when the time actually comes?

Or is there testing we should do now to help us answer these questions?

Would really appreciate any thoughts.
