Desperate to hear positive stories of success with donor eggs.

Please can i ask you to share your stories of success with donor eggs. I am currently waiting to start my 2nd FET with donor eggs. My first FET with donor eggs resulted in chemical. I have 3 rounds with my own all of which didn't implant.

I am feeling very distressed and hopeless at the moment. My husband turns 40 today and I know he feels like we don't have anything to celebrate. We try to be positive and grateful. But in our hearts are empty and everyone knows it. We have a bbq today and I don't know how I will get through it. But i must for my husband's sake.

Please can anyone who has achieved success with donor eggs after repeated BFN and chemical share their experience. Yesterday I cried because I realised I would never see what my own genetic baby will look like. Life without children doesn't seem worth living.

Hi! I have been through that stage of sadness because I had to accept that there will never be a mini me... I feel your pain! I am 43 and have an Amh of .08 so I had no choice but to use donor eggs and luckily had 5 excellent grade embryos after generic testing. However I used them all up in 3 rounds of Ivf. At the time I thought the doc had tried everything because he was very confident and even added meds for me. Note that I used injectibles for every round. However I had Two bfn and one chemical. I then changed doctors who did an ERA testing on me with non injectables which resulted a wrong timing (I’m not the norm as the other doc assumed) meaning apparently they had transferred the embryos a day earlier therefore no implantation. So I found a new donor and luckily got 5 embryos again. Just transferred one and surprisingly bfp! I am now at 5+weeks and my first ultrasound will be in 3 days. Still can’t believe it and sometimes scared but I’m taking it easy. I guess using non injectables help me relax more. Doc said the results are the same but one must remember to take all meds religiously to avoid miscarriage. So I just set my alarms!! Miracles do happen and I believe it will happen to you too :)

Hi BeautifulNow

This is truly amazing. Can you please send a private message telling me what clinic you used. Also what is ERA testing. Not heard of this before

Just done loads of reading about ERA and I think this might be useful for me. I have had 10 embryos transferred altogether. 4 of which were very good quality donor embryos. Only ever had one CP and the rest were BFN. This can't be right.

That’s a lot of embryos!!! Yes you might want to do the test before your next real transfer :)
