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!

The last time I did an IVF we had four follicles and one did fertilize, but it was abnormal and so we didn't have anything to transfer.........  One of my RE's told me a few years ago that he thinks I have a higher rate of chromosomally abnormal eggs than most people my age, so I am guessing that getting pregnant using my own eggs is going to be VERY difficult if we can't get many to grow, and there a lot of abnormal ones in the few we get....  I am thinking embryo donation might be the way to go for us, much cheaper than egg donation and as long as MY eggs aren't involved, I'll probably have a better chance of actually having a baby to hold in my arms......  Thanks so much for you input, it does give me a little hope, but I still don't think it's going to happen for me with my own eggs.......

Keep all of your options open.
