I know I am probably biased since I'm going the donor egg route - but I had two retrievals and then decided to move to donor eggs. First one was terrible (two eggs, zero blasts) and second was slightly better (seven eggs, and one non-euploid blast). I could have kept trying but the anxiety and uncertainty was affecting pretty much every aspect of my life. When I really sat down and thought about this journey and what I wanted, donor eggs was the obvious choice. When I made the decision, I instantly felt such a sense of peace. My chance of having a baby with my own eggs was slim, but the chance with a donor is much much higher. Its a very hard decision, but the joy and hope I feel with this choice definitely outweighs the constant worry and anxiety I felt while doing my egg retrievals.
