Last try at frozen donor eggs- don't know which egg lot is best. Looking for advice

Hi everyone,

I've had 5 failed donor FET transfers and now seeing an immune specialist to explore possible autoimmune issues. This will be my last try at IVF so I'm trying to choose the best donor eggs. Right now I have a 31 year old donor with 4 donor eggs left but six positive pregnancies resulted from her previous donations so reserved the 4 eggs. Then I'm trying to decide whether to choose a proven donor who is 26 years old with one child of her own and one currently ongoing pregnancy from her donation (she has 8 eggs available) OR to choose a smaller egg lot of 6 frozen eggs with another proven donor who is 27 years old with two children of her own and 4 ongoing pregnancies from her previous donations. I like the idea of having 12 frozen eggs to get hopefully more embryos but not sure if 10 eggs with proven super star donors is best. Thank you if you took the time to read my long post. Sending everyone here baby dust and hoping we are all successful!

Hi 👋. I think I'd personally go for the larger amount, given that they both have proven fertility and to counteract the drop off from frozen thaw rate.

That's not knowing the profiles and what matters to you though.....

Wishing you lots of luck, whatever you decide to do xx
