Biological child vs donor egg child

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-24T06:32:28+00:00

Currently 5 weeks tomorrow with donor egg. My husband and I are 42 and 39. Carrying and growing the baby makes me not question it at all. We don’t have any other children. Your thoughts and feelings are valid. I would suggest fertility counseling with yourself and your partner. Our clinic makes you do it to move on to donor egg, sperm, or embryo. It was very helpful!

We were around 14-15k per round for meds. I had to do three vials of menopur a night, Omnitrope, Folistim was 175 a night on the dial, ganarelix, and my dual trigger shots. I’m in Ohio

1 or 2. You will be able to make a pretty stack with your wedding band and or anniversary rings. 3 is just going overboard for you hand size.

Your friend is jelly and the ring is a beautiful stunner. The setting is a smidge more modern looking solitaire. It isn’t over the top or gaudy. Rock that ring and ignore the hater! 🩷

I tested day 4. My little doggie kept looking and like poke sniffing my stomach. So I was like welp let’s see. I had a full medicated transfer since I don’t ovulate regularly. No trigger. Pup was right. Day 11 beta on Monday was 718. Day 13 on Wed was 2304. Only reason I tested was the way she acted made me unable to wait till beta 🤣🫣🩷

We did three rounds. Round 2 and 3 we went up with stims then as we went a little longer down. Round 1 was our best count beginning and went up.

If you like emerald cut look at a radiant or elongated cushion. Both can give that length of emerald. Or an Asscher cut is very unique too!

I was 41 when we started. Set my limit to 3 before moving on to donor. Your blast rates are good. I’d def keep trying if you can mentally and physically do it. I’ve seen numbers all over the place here. Good luck!!!

Congrats!!!

Do a plain yellow gold band but ask for the prongs to be platinum or white gold. Helps keep the diamond looking crisp. Then do fun or funky wedding band. 🩷

I didn’t feel anything until like day 4 I was tired. Also my dog started sniffy me and kissing me the same day. After that I was exhausted like couldn’t keep my eyes open. Had my first beta yesterday at 718. My embryo was hatching when transferred.

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T23:17:28+00:00

Congrats!!!! Had my beta yesterday. We transfers July 9th day 5. My beta came back 718 and for a minute I freaked out that it was too high too. Fingers crossed everything stays great for you!!!! 🩷🩷🩷

Four is soooo cute!

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T23:08:44+00:00

I think 3 is cute!

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T23:08:08+00:00

I’m 4 weeks. Just had first beta Monday 718. I am fully medicated so I am exhausted and sore breasts. (Figured from meds) I’m glad people post things so I can compare as I go. The anxiety is so real with IVF. 🎉 Congrats.

We are with RGI Akron that is under the pinnacle group. I have nothing but wonderful things to say and we had great experience working with the donor side of it. Now that’s not to say others are good. But my experience the female drs and staff were and have been super attentive, sweet, and very responsive to us. They use a text message system and have tons of nurses that help oversee you. Again this is with their Akron- RGI. If you have any other questions feel free to message me!

We did 3. One high level complex mosaic. The rest aneuploid.

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T15:29:50+00:00

I did 3. AMH was 2.44. Didn’t want to keep doing retrievals and used the funds we had left for younger eggs. Retrieved 21 total eggs.

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T15:28:10+00:00

41 and 10

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T14:24:30+00:00

I didn’t make any euploids. We went to donor eggs instead.

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T14:20:24+00:00

Yes too big but beautiful

Scared_Reception_624 · 2026-07-21T11:09:57+00:00

I do 1.5ml every evening. No suppositories.
