[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a patient at SGF and just found out the last of our 4 embryos from a donor egg cycle didn’t take.  We didn’t PGT test the embryos (I wish we had in retrospect) and 1 of the 4 took but I miscarried at 6 weeks.  I was in the donor shared risk program and the doctor says it’s time to move on to a surrogate.  It seems premature to call it quits after just 1 donor and 4 FETs of untested embryos.  Did it take anyone more than 4 FETs to have success?

We did do split donor eggs and [b]I know the other couple who got the same eggs conceived so the donor eggs seem to not be the issue.[/b]  I finally got my doctor to order a DNA fragmentation test for my husband’s sperm but the doctor basically said it’s not a sperm issue it’s a uterus issue.  Why would he suggest surrogacy before even recommending all other diagnostic testing?!  The 5 failed IVF OE cycles were attributed to an egg quality issue (I was 39-40 at the time but had excellent numbers on paper) but now donor egg has failed so now it’s being attributed to an unknown uterus issue - even though I have a healthy child I conceived and carried with no issues at age 37.  It just seems crazy to me that sperm issues are never considered as long as the count, motility, etc. look good.  All of my #s look good too and that didn’t mean anything!  Sorry, that last part was just to vent but I don’t feel like I’m not getting the best advice from my doctor.

I’d love to hear from others who are (or where) in a similar boat. [/quote]

Without testing, you don't know for sure that the donor eggs you received weren't the issue. Maybe they got all the good ones?  Sorry, OP.  Hugs.  [/quote]
