Donor advice

Hi warriors!! I just wondered if anyone had any advice on donor eggs from abroad?

In UK, we are told 9 months to 2 year wait and we just do not have that time due to age. ๐Ÿ˜ž (42).

We decided that after our last round of ivf in Feb that we wouldn't try again in UK using own eggs as they just haven't been successful and if we considered donor eggs it would be abroad.

We have no underlying issues (had every test under the sun) apart from the biggest issue that we fail to have success and now poor egg quality due to age....hope that makes sense!

We have tried for years (since the age of 26), we have had miscarriages, ectopics (losing both tubes), and further miscarriages and failed implantation most recently.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions of clinic (pm me), Success stories using donor especially if similar age ๐Ÿ™

Many thanks in advance

Hi. I pursued the donor route in London, and started my treatment within a couple of months (and could have started even sooner if I hadnโ€™t spent so long choosing a donor!). I used frozen donor eggs, though. Happy to PM you the details if helpful? x

hi, I used a clinic in Yorkshire for DE and they found a match within 3 months. There was no waiting list, just the numbers of donors available at any one time fluctuated a bit. Iโ€™m 30 weeks with the first transfer after buying 7 eggs which made two blastocysts ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž Iโ€™m 43 xx
