Reciprocal ivf advice

I’m new to this site and was wondering if anyone has any experience of reciprocal ivf.

My partner and I are wanting to go down this route however we are struggling to find much information on line.

Does anyone have any idea of costs involved?

I’m also concerned about my age as I’m coming up to 40 and am worried that clinics may not wish to use my eggs. Is there an age cut off or is it just a preference to use the younger eggs?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Murphy. Usually if using eggs in this way, it is preferred that the eggs used are from a partner who is under 36 to give you the best chance. If you are healthy and capable of carrying a baby to term, then I wish you both well. Diane
