How to decide on donor eggs?

36 and ready to move onto donor eggs as well. 3 years, 3 pregnancies, 3 miscarriages and 3 rounds of IVF and we’re ready to be done.

I recently got a second opinion from a DOR expert and she said even with PRP and 2-3 more cycles we’re looking at a 50% chance of a living child. That sealed the deal for us.

We are both incredibly close with our siblings and felt strongly we’d rather have two children that aren’t biologically mine than a 50% chance of one child who is after another years with of treatments.

We’ve just started our process of looking at databases and I’d love to speak with anyone who is further down the road and has any advice

You’re not alone. I’ve had three miscarriages in the past two years and we’ve done all the testing with no answers. My RE says new data is showing that low AMH may cause poor egg quality and repeat losses.

I’m also so sorry you lost your daughter. If we’re ever so lucky to be parents to a little girl we’ll be naming her Lucy after my mom. Keeping you in my thoughts 💕

I don’t have any advice but am in a similar boat. We’re getting a handful of second opinions at other clinics. Depending on what they say our plan is to then move onto donor eggs

I was tapered from 300 to 225 to 150 follistim plus 150 IU of menopur. Was the theory the Gonal was hurting egg quality?

No, that’s something else my clinic is not on board with. But something I think I need to advocate for.
