Shall I try my Own EGGS one more time?

Shall I try my Own EGGS one more time?

Might be a silly and vague question, but really looking for some guidance and support. Totally lost here. Not sure what to do. AGE - 34, AMH - 0.46, FSH - 10.8, 3 failed IVF's 2 of them resulting in chemical pregnancy due to poor egg quality. Emotionally devastated so far with each result, and can't take it one more time and would like to opt for DONOR EGG, but before that, shall i try my eggs one more time?

[I tried DHEA, accupunture, maca, royal jelly, omega fish oil etc etc etc....., nothing helped me in proceeding more than 5 weeks]

just wanted to let you know that I have had 7 rounds of ivf ..with 3 pregnancies and subsequent miscarriages then finally a pregnancy that has gone passed 12 weeks now .. if you feel like you can carry on then I would say do it .. you are not that old (I am now 41) and every round can bring different results .. you just have to persevere as hard as that is

If you "can't take it one more time," then by all means explore donor eggs, especially if the problem is poor egg quality.  Otherwise, as tones says, you still have some time.

Hi Tones,
You are really courageous to go through 7 IVF rounds. my results were so bad from 1 that I opted not to do any more with my own eggs. I was curious about your comment tho regarding different results each cycle. Is that for real? None of my embies lived past 2 days and my RE was pretty shocked. My FSH wasn't too bad under the clomid challenge (13.73), but nonetheless there wasn't even one lonely embie to transfer. It is hard to let go and move on to donor eggs. I still wonder if I could give myself another chance. But, alas, this is all out of pocket, so I just have to get over it and move on. I am really happy for you, it sounds like you nabbed a good one, finally after all your perseverance. Keep us all posted. I am cheering for you!

Hey Babyhope,
It's sad to hear you sound so beaten. You will know when it is either time to move on to plan B or to try again with your own eggs. Your FSH doesn't sound too bad. Was that under the clomid challenge test or au-naturel? I am praying for you whatever you decide to do. We are all here to support one another and we will all achieve our families one way or another. Best wishes to you and hugs too.

I'm here to tell you, having used a donor egg, it is still your child in every way.  You bear it, you have mitochondrial DNA transfer, signals from your body tell the embryo to turn things on or off.  After you get the positive, and even before, it's your baby.  Don't worry about that aspect.  Pick a donor who could plausibly look like your cousin or sister, and nobody will ever wonder and even your family that knows the story won't think twice about it.  Good luck!
