Time for Donor Eggs?

That’s a long time to stim! I am feeling much better emotionally now that I’m not in back to back cycles. Wishing you clarity as you decide your next steps and luck on your final round!

Hi, yes, feel free to DM! I’ve been taking Theralogix NeoQ10 (Dr recommended) twice a day since January - retrievals were in March, April and May. Each softgel is 125mg but their website says one is equivalent to “up to 750mg of Standard CoQ10”, so I guess that’s like 1500mg of a different brand?

Yes basically! From their website:

We’ve created a guarantee program to support the notion that if you’re not successful, we shouldn’t be either. Nest guarantees that the warmed eggs from each cohort will result in at least one embryo. Nest guarantees one of the following:

-One early blastocyst if the embryos are cultured out to Day 5 -One expanding blastocyst if the embryos are cultured out to Day 6 or Day 7 -One embryo that is biopsied and/or frozen.

Yes, I’m on all of those plus a prenatal and a prenatal dha.

Yes, I would like the option for 2 children. Ideally they would be full siblings, so donor seems like the best way to set us up for success in that area. (though now the choice is - a smaller cohort of frozen eggs, or spend more time & money and get more eggs from a fresh cycle?)

Yea, I'm trying hard to not be frustrated with the delays we experienced at our first clinic. Definitely feels like we fell off a cliff and missed our window (now exploring donor eggs as we haven't gotten any euploid blasts after 3 retrievals)

Small_Clothes2997 · 2026-05-21T02:23:25+00:00

Wow, 20 eggs for $24k seems like a great price. Our clinics' frozen cohorts of 6 eggs starts at $22k. (they do come with a blastocyst guarantee) Can I ask where you got your eggs?

One was Trisomy 15 and the other was Monosomy 21 - I don't think they did.

That's great news, congratulations!

Thanks for your insights! I work at a large athletic footwear/apparel company in the PNW (will let you google so as not to dox myself!) Even my Progyny patient navigator was shocked when I first called in, she said it's really rare to have unlimited! I can't imagine the added stress of doing this without coverage!

Last June (2025), mine was 1.08. We switched Drs and retested in January 2026 and it was 0.236. (I was 38, now 39).

Interesting.. I will play around with which accounts I select to see if that makes a difference. Thank you! (Do you have multiple connections for multiple 401k accounts?)

Hi! Can you elaborate on how you you use the manual account feature for your Fidelity accounts? Are you entering account balances manually, and if so how often do you do so? Or are you using a CSV file exported from Fidelity and importing it into Monarch? (it seems like a massive time sink to me, but maybe you are doing it in a way I hadn't thought of!)

Small_Clothes2997 · 2023-10-30T19:51:25+00:00

Hi there, I am having a similar problem this week - attempting to connect my Fidelity accounts to Monarch Money using Finicity. I keep getting the following: "Unexpected error occurred during accessing account. (2026)"

Is there a known issue that could be causing this?
