Two failed IVF attemps- now donor eggs

[K12en]

I have had 2 failed IVF attempts. First try doctor was able to get 7 eggs but eggs did not survivie past day 5. Second attempt eggs were immature (too small with meds). I have seen two different doctors and both have told me we could try IVF again and using my own eggs I have a 10% chance of pregnancy, if I use donor eggs I have a 75%80% chance of pregnancy. The hardest thing for me to digest is being so young and having to resort to donor eggs. I just turned 34, but have been trying to get pregnant since I was 30. I have given thought to using donor eggs and I like being able to carry the child, knowing no drugs were involved, and the child gets appropriate nutrients, and most important to me would be the bonding experience. I'm a  little nervous about going forward.I feel so alone, no one to talk to that knows what I'm going through. Has anyone used egg donors? Please share experiences.

I personally have not used donor eggs but I have friends that have....some of them have gone on to have successful pregnancies and couldn't love their children more.

It's a personal decision that only you can make so take your time and do what is best for you.

Good luck and Keep us Posted! :)
