cost of egg donor IVF

[Mikeal'smom]

I was supposed to go for my next IVF this coming week, and the doctor just called to tell me I only have one follicle, and that he did not reccomend continuing with this cycle.  I just turned thirty years old yesterday, and he said the words that were hardest to hear "there is always egg donation....."  My question to all of you who have used donor eggs, is what are the costs like, and what was your experiance?  The thing I want more than anything is to have another baby, but it seems that everyone else gets to have what I want.........  I doesn't really help that my best friend found out three days ago that she is pregnant with her third. :(  I would love to hear any imput that you all might have.  Thanks so much, take care!

Embryo adoption/donation is not out of the question, although my husband has fears about using someone elses embryo and then having the possibility of the donors, or their families showing up at out door wanting rights to the child.  Fears that I am sure everyone can understand.  I have my appointment with my RE tomorrow morning and I will be talking with her about what our best option would be. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question!  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for some positive news!

Please consider embryo adoption!  There are millions of babies waiting for mommies and daddies and they are terminally frozen!
It is much cheaper and you can pick the age of the mom from a list!
Good Luck!

Don't forget! You can deduct milage to and from the doc office too! and EVERYTHING you pay for out of pocket!  Meds and all!!!!

My beta is this Thursday...
Its not looking good though...
BUT..i'm staying positive because we still have 3, day 6 blasts frozen... all 3 very good quality.
So we still have a couple more chances!
And my donor egg nurse told me that we could do a back to back FET off of this cycle..  So we wont have to wait months to try again.. :o)

Yeah..i'm keeping all my reciepts for tax time next year too... :o)

Yep, that's what my hubby and i just did!  It was really nice to re-coop some of that $$!  It makes me feel better about spending more!  It's only about 15%, but hey.... it's something!  And, we've already met the amount we needed to spend for 2010! : )
