anyone doing a cycle with donor eggs

[ashavaki]

Hello all
Last time I posted here I just finished my 4th cycle with IVF all alone with donor sperm wich resulted in BFN.
This was about 2 years ago, and a lot has happened since.
To make a long story short, I met a man, we fell in love and have been trying to make a baby for a year and a half.
I am now 43 years old and we decided to go for a donor egg in Spain, why spain ? well it´s allowed and it´s not crazy expensive, and no waiting list.
I am now on the contraceptive pill, and one of the first 3 weeks in march we will travel to Alicante to have the transfer.
Is anybody out there in similar situation, or has done an IVF with a donor egg, who can give me advice on how to prepare myself, food, lifestyle etc....
All the best to all of you

Breezy, Well, there are a few clinic's that I know of that will do donor embryos for just the cost of the transfer... there is a place in North Carolina. There is also a place in GA that you can get donor eggs from... although, I personally think the refund programs offer wonderful opportunites.  Usually if you are using donor eggs, they will refund 100% of your money if you don't take a baby home.  

I actually had someone on MH offer my hubby and me their remaining embryos... you can read my journal post "Our Next Step" to get the whole story : )

Again13- Has AF showed up?

Keep_alive-  Have you thought about the US for donor?  

I had my HSG yesterday... the doc that did the test said my uterus was pefectly shaped, and that she didn't see any scarring... so I overnighted my CD to the doctor in CA that did my adhesion removal and am waiting on him to call me with what he sees..

Hi mhv,

Of course you can join! The more the merrier (I'm not here very much myself though, I have to admit--just too busy). How do you go about getting donor embryos.

Never thought I wuold say this but ca't wait to get my menstrual cycle so I can have my hystoscopy, uterine biospy and vag US...then on to donor eggs.   So it is so frustrating waiting for all of this to be done...and now cycle is late...oh did I mention I need my gallbladder out lololol.   I wish you a lot of luck and sticky baby dust let me how how the donor eggs go.

Don't know if I can join?  Definately over 40...
but going to use donor embryos : )   I have to wait for my AF to show up, then have an HSG and u/s day 6-11 to make sure uterus is clear and "fluffy", and hope to do a transfer around the end of April...
I sure could use some support! : )

Breezy300 how I feel you. I have faced problems one after the other, including a fibroid. I am really thinking of giving up, I am just not ready yet.

I am also interested in egg donors from abroad as I am living in a really small country where egg donation is not very common.

I know that in Spain people are very sensitive about these matters and donation is widely accepted (incl. donation of human organs).
I came across a name of a clinic in Barcelona and the name is Instituto Marquès.

I dont know if they are good, I just checked them out on the internet and they look really Ok.

I am planning to investigate it further...
