[quote=Anonymous]After a long infertility journey, my husband and I have decided to look into using donor eggs. Has anyone had experience with this at Columbia Fertility, and if so, what were the costs?

They told me that it makes more sense to use a fresh cycle so that I get as many eggs as possible, but the quote is $40K!! I'm already broke and emotionally drained from this. They told me that if I use frozen eggs, which comes in lots of 6-8, that I need to buy multiple lots to ensure success. I don't know what lots of frozen eggs cost. I also feel like they are encouraging me to purchase the most expensive option which is extremely frustrating as I have paid out of pocket for all costs to work with them for almost 10 years.

I understand that Shady Grove has a shared risk option, but my experience at Shady Grove was not a good one. I went for a second opinion in my early 40s about my fertility options. The doctor was rude, told me I was too old to consider adopting a child, that I would never naturally be successful at having a baby, and tried to push the donor egg program on me.

Any other cost information or suggestions would be appreciated! I'm kind of mentally and emotionally (not to mention financially) at the end of my rope here. Thank you!

Also, I just want to say that this forum has been extremely helpful to me during my fertility journey. Thanks to everyone who shares on here! I've learned so much along the way.[/quote]
