Hope for over 40 using Double Donor.

I am 42. Single. Low AMH. None responder to Egg retrieval stimulation drugs. Using Double Donor Blastocysts (3 left frozen. 2 used).

I just wanted to hear some success stories from 40+ Double Donor FETs.

I've had one and one negative FET.

I believe that my remaining Blastocysts are day 6 ones.

Any advise on improving uterine receptivity and health appreciated.

Sending hope and baby dust to all....

Ros.

Should say "I've had one *CHEMICAL* and one negative FET". (Don't know how to edit...). Xx

Not sure I have any definite answers but I think just not thinking about it too much. I had five transfers with DD before success. I am still pregnant at the moment and hopefully will get all the way there this time. I had two miscarriages as well as a chemical with OE early on. I did have lots of tests (ERA, EMMA, Alice and a hysteroscopy) although they didn’t provide any real answers to what was going wrong. I’m older than you as well so if you can keep going, then do. I did take a few breaks after the miscarriage as I just needed some time away from the fertility journey, Hoping you get success with your next cycle. Xx

Hi hope doing ok I’m sorry to hear of the bumpy ride with this.

Sorry I don’t have advice but I do have a wellness coach if you want any help with diet and supplements info.

I would like to know which meds they gave you previously if you don’t mind?

My cycle just got cancelled last week -because of the same reason,

I was on 300 menapor folices only reached 5mm-9mm I had about 8 in total.

I’m absolutely gutted and don’t know how I feel about trying again.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out,

Did you use UK donor ?

Best of luck xx

For the failed egg retrieval cycle I was on Norethisterone & Buserelin to down regulate. Then Ovaleap (dose of 375). I just didn't respond. The trigger shot would have been Ovitrelle. I am using UK donor Eggs and Danish Sperm.

It's such an anxious, stressful journey. Hopefully we can have a successful outcome one day. Xx

Hi Ros. I have 3 own egg boys who are older (13, 11 & 11). They were fresh transfers. I decided I wanted to try again as I never quite seemed done. I tried with my own eggs at 40/41 & fresh transfer wasn't successful. I moved on to DD embryos and had 2 unsuccessful medicated transfers and then moved to modified natural. First modified natural was an early loos at just over 5 weeks and the second is due in around 3.5 weeks. I was 46 when I had my final transfer & am 47 now and this has honestly been my easiest pregnancy in many ways. It definitely can happen and you may need to try medicated & natural to see what works best. I had tests done too & changed things up for my final cycle but if you have any questions feel free to DM me & I can let you have any info you need. Best of luck 👍
