cost of egg donor IVF

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!

I think you can possibly deduct something on your taxes.

From Cambridge, MA :)

Im doing it at RSC. They have fees, plus the donor agency has fees, plus the donor herself has a fee,  plus the lawyers, etc. I have to see if my insurance will cover anything at all but RSC is waiting until we get closer and hopefully they will. Im 41, my eggs are not good quality but my clomid challange was good so there is a chance Harvard Pilgrim may pay. Anyway... I hope it is all worthit.

When is your beta test?
I know you are very close:)

Not sure what insurance you have..but BC/BS paid for alot of my donor cycle..(i think because i'm under 40..).. it still costs us about $8,600..
But, yeah... MA is crazy expensive in everything!

It will cost us $22,000 total and that is with us NOT buying eggs. That is with a known donor, ie a sibling. My sister is being tested now. Insurance does not cover anything for donors.
I am pre- menopausal.
I am 36 and I have 4 failed IVF and 2 failed IUI's I do not produce eggs.

Good Luck to you.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
