[quote=Anonymous]Hello all. I am looking for recommendations for an expert on egg quality who can give us a second opinion about whether to pursue donor eggs or donor sperm. I am on my second IVF cycle with poor fertilization. First cycle only one embryo fertilized. We transferred on day 3, but  no success. Second cycle with ICSI and two have fertilized, but I am not too hopeful given we were told to expect much higher fertilization rates. I am 33 and all our other tests come back normal. Also, I have had one previous pregnancy (concieved naturally last year) that ended in a miscarriage around 8 weeks after we saw a heartbeat. I suspect this is an egg quality issue, but when I asked  in the past, my RE has said it could be either sperm or egg problems causing the poor fertilization, even after trying ICSI. We are currently at SGF. I am looking for someone who is known for handling these types of cases who can advise on how to best proceed. We are happy to get an opinion from anyone in the country. If you have suggestions, they would be very much appreciated! We are very open to using a donor, but I hate to go down the donor egg road only to find out that it was a sperm issue and we wasted all that money, time, and emotional capital. Thanks![/quote]
