Looking for double donor experience and advice

Hi everyone, it’s been a few months since I’ve been active on here. After 3 failed rounds of IVF on my own with donor sperm, I’ve made the decision to move forwards with an egg donor as well a sperm donor. I’m feeling good about my decision and optimistic about it but I’d love to speak to anyone who has gone through this. There’s a few things that keep preoccupying my mind. I’m excited but also quite scared! I’ve come across lots of single women that have used donor sperm but am yet to chat to anyone who has gone the double donor route. I’d be extremely grateful for anyone who feels comfortable getting in touch. Best wishes to you all 💛

Hi, same boat here! 🙋🏻‍♀️. I’m 44 and single and had two failed IVF cycles this year using my own eggs and donor sperm. I’ve also decided to move to donor eggs. I’m very early in the process (I had my initial consultation this week) - but please feel free me DM me any time! xx

Hi cases. Well all I can say is that over the years I have come across many successful double donors, where lovely little families have been created. I just wanted to wish you all the best with this decision. Thinking of you. Diane
