Also forgot to tell you that they inject me with intragram once a week for my thyroid. This injection alows your body to accept foreign bodies in your system like the donor eggs

Iv had two failed ivfs with my own eggs. On my third attempt with donor eggs. I'm 37 years old and menpausal. I'm on the 9th day of my transfer. Only felt alittle dizzy and tired. Only had a spotting on second day. Other than that no bleeding or cramping. Does anyone here reading this has experienced this.  and had a positive pregnancy. Please let me know what were your  symtoms after using donor eggs. I'm on 4 prednisones. Gestone 1 Ecotrin 4 progynovas. Folic acid.  Omega 3 cap. Chela preg. Oh forgot to mention my breast are a bit tender since yesterday and while typing felt a pull on my navel. Please let me know soon. Waiting anxiously for your replies

Hello,  I am 44 years old and been ttc since I was 40.  I have gone the natural route, the IUI's and the IVF's all without sucess.  My 3rd IVF was done using donor eggs and I a currently 5 wks pregnant.  So this can be done.  Good luck with your decision.

I tried ivf, iui using my own eggs but didn't work.  I'm 19 weeks pregnant with donor eggs, first try.

Good luck to you.

Thank you for your message. We are still trying, but the odds are so low when you get to be our age. The doc  told me 10%.. OMG.. with donor it would be 40-50% and that is pretty good.

I am 42, I tried the natural way, IVF, and IUI and my eggs didn't work -- had five miscarriages and 1 failed IUI.  

Last Dec I got pregnant with donor eggs.  I am currently 18w4d.   I have yet to still be able to sit back and relax.  

Another lady just go pregnant with donor eggs, besides me, and one lady (40smama) already has a baby from donor eggs.

hi every one

I am 40 and still trying the natural route.  However, there are at least two women I know of on this forum who have gone the donor egg route.  1 of them is 40smama, and I have no doubt you will hear from her soon.  Her gorgeous little boy is around a year old now!!  Welcome, and good luck to you!!!
