I just came back from the doctor's office. Not sure how to feel about the news yet. He won't do another IVF, he says he feels at my age we've tried all we should try with my eggs. The fact that I had 3 embryos and none took means there was probably something wrong with the embryos and if i want to have a healthy baby then I should look into embryo donation, because egg donation can cost close to 12,000 and i can't afford it. I have no problem getting pregnant with a donor embryo, the baby is in my womb, it is my baby...but I have been googling and the wait time for an embryo could be up to 2 years!!! I will definitely do it, but that just feels like forever, but he says that success rates are extremely high at my age using donor embryos and I would be wasting my money with IVF. This way all risk factors related to age are gone. So am happy at the the thought that we are not giving up...but unhappy at the wait time. I would LOVE to hear from anyone who has had DONOR EMBRYOS...I may have to find another message board for that. It is actually a lot cheaper too, only 2000 total because no meds are needed other than progesterone and estrogen which i have coverage for. So I guess I have to stay positive,,,renew my faith in G-d and pray I find an embryo donor soon!!

I am so sorry you're having to deal with this disappointment. But I am clinging to the thought that your time just wasn't yet -- I like the idea that you're meant to be getting pregnant in October so that your timing is perfect for you to have a full year with your little one when s/he arrives.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know how your appt is scheduled. We're all pulling for you. xx
4 days since my negative beta...3 days since AF came...and i still don't want to believe i am not pregnant :-(
Hi, I just finished my first round of IVF and I am 7dpt and have a beta on the 16th. Want to take a hpt but I am scared it will be negative and I am so positive right now, I don't want to be let down. So my mantra has been... STICK..STAY..GROW! Please pray for me ladies, as I will do the same for you all. Sticky dust to all>>>>>>>>>>
Update:
After having a negative pregnancy test, I had to have an HSG...I expected it to be as torturous as it was the last time but it was not painful at all. Turns out I have to have my tube removed because it is dilated. Surgery is set for September 12 and God willing everything turns out okay. I will be able to have a Frozen Embryo transfer after I am cleared by my doctor so I am looking forward to that. I have decided to take a nice little 2 week vacation afterwards to give myself time to relax after my transfer. When I return to work if it is God's will, I will be pregnant...I will continue to pray and have patience and faith that this is the path that God has placed me on for a reason.
@ 808mom, it's nice to know that there is someone who is close and going through this as well.
@ HAmom11, congrats on your news. It is all very exciting.
When I get my next attempt I am very positive about the ending result. I am excited about what the future holds.
