anyone done donor embryos in uk?

 I have had 6 failed rounds now with my own eggs and even though I have a few left frozen I just don't see any of them working

Can I ask how donor embryos work with clinics? Myself and partner think we would prefer doing donor embryos as otherwise one of us is genetically linked and not the other and we're not comfortable with that

Are you able to choose an embryo which comes from a proven 'success' couple?

Do you have the option of PGS testing them?

Do you get to choose embryo couple or Is it a case of being matched?

Is there a long wait?

Anyone know the cost?

I don't want to ask my clinic yet as that will make it real 😫 😔 just want to get an idea

Thanks

It’s quite unusual to get donated blastocysts in the U.K.

There was certainly no such option on the paperwork I signed at my clinic. You tend to have to get the eggs and sperm separately.
