donor embryos

[Boohiss]

own eggs ICSI failed (miscarried 2 sets of twins early)

Donor eggs (4 x 10 attempts) ICSI failed (miscarried set of twins and single)

Donor embryos…. Last thing to try before giving up.

Does anyone have any experience using donor embryos?

Availability? Costs?

Hi,

I don’t have experience in donor embryos but it seems you can get pregnant but not retain them. Which I am really sorry for the miscarriages

Have you had any tests for that? Like NK cells, or Alice, ERA, EMMA tests? Levels of vit D, progesterone?

Just a thought

As Sonisonix has said perhaps you could get some tests such as Natural Killer Cells test, Thrombotic risk profile, vitamin D etc, Emma/alice and they could treat you with steroids, probiotics, aspirin or other blood thinner/low dose heparin, intra-lipid infusions and high dose of e-methylfolate instead of the other folic acid in case you have problems absorbing the normal version of it etc during pregnancy to prevent recurrent miscarriage. I would try that first before moving on to donor embryos if you haven't taken these treatments already. Sorry if you have already tried all of these. Perhaps speaking to a fertility immunologist might help. I think Dr Beer's book recommends certain further immune treatments that can be done.
