Thinking about using an egg donor- a sibling

[B74]

Has anybody used an egg donor? I am thinking about using my sister. We are going in on the 23rd for testing. Any feedback? Have had four failed IVF's and two failed IUI with my own eggs. I do not produce eggs and two doctors told me to get a donor. I am 36 and my husband and I are ready to move on to the next step... I think....

Hi Everybody:
My sister was approved. I start meds this week and my sister starts meds in 2 weeks.
I hope everything goes well and she produces some good eggs and they take.
Good luck to everybody!

Your doctor is right about not transfering more than 2 eggs. Those eggs are GOOD so the likelyhood of implantation is very high!!! Have faith. They will do two for me as well.

Have a good trip:)

Great news Mariana.
My sister's tests will be back in two weeks, so if everything is good we can start in April or  May. We will see, fingers crossed.
The social worker talked to all four of us. He said we had everything is in order.

Mariana:
I thought it was weird that they said they would only transfer two eggs from my sister too. She is 31.
He said the likely hood of more than only baby is high, but I thought, ok, I have been over so much, so why would not they put in more, so increase my chances, but he said no.
The % is like 60ish for getting preggers and like 55ish for live birth. I guess that is still good...
Going for a work trip for a week. Catch up with you all when I return.
Good luck to all the mommies to be out there... I will be thinking of you all.
Thanks for letting me vent on here, means a great deal.
Take care.
