BFN - donor eggs

hi everyone, hoping if I post and write this down it might just help with how I’m feeling.

Today we tested negative on 14dp5dt , using donor eggs in the Uk.

I’m just exhausted. After 4 attempts using my own, and a twin missed miscarriage, I thought donor eggs would be our saviour. I’d felt all the symptoms too in my 2ww but now know it was probably all the drugs.

Everything had gone so well too with a top grade embryo. We have one in the freezer from this round but I’m just not feeling hopeful. I’m 45 this year and I’m feeling so low.

Not wanting any answers, just needed to share in what is a community that only people on here understand. It’s a bloomin lonely journey.

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about your BFN with donor eggs. It's heartbreaking and you wonder if you'll ever be a mum, but don't you give up hope. You have one more in the freezer and that could be the one.

Don't worry about your age with donor eggs. I've just turned 47 and am pregnant using donor eggs.

Please keep the faith. It will happen for you. X

ah. Congrats. Very happy for you. I just read some of your old posts and looks like you’ve been through it. Did you go abroad? Good luck with everything.

I just need to work out why they aren’t implanting. I just know that the little frostie we have is probably our last hope. It’s so hard ti try and stay positive. I just feel broken x

I was going to do it in the UK after I tried abroad, but the wait at my clinic put me off and the cost of all the implantation failure tests was high. Someone on here recommended a clinic in Spain for the tests and then I just carried on and used them for donor.

The one thing I wasn't happy with is the anonymous donor bit. You really don't get any details other than blood group.

I was so shocked when I got a positive result. I thought it would never happen and that's why I felt compelled to message you. I've been where you are and it's hard to hold out hope, but it can happen. Best of luck. X

ah thank you for sharing it all and I’m so happy this has worked in Spain.

I don’t think I’ve got energy to do a whole other round of this doesn’t work again. I’m not sure if the clinic may do some tests on me before the next embryo is put back but we’ll see.
