[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound a lot like me. I got a fewer eggs each retrieval because one of my embryos was behind my uterus and they couldn’t harvest from it, but my numbers and age were similar. I got a diagnosis of POF, which you can only get with multiple failed cycles.

We ended up using donor eggs and now I have three kids (6,4,1) from two DE cycles (and one frozen embryo from the second cycle). My outcome is great and I only wish that I had switched to donor eggs sooner and not put us through so many heartbreaking failures. Nothing fixes poor egg quality and DE IVF has a really high success rate when that is the main problem. I wish you all the best. [/quote]

Thanks for replying! Donor eggs is something I definitely plan to discuss with my doctor. I have a lot of work to do before me and my husband feel ready for that though. I feel like it’s so hard because we did have that transient success. If we hadn’t gotten pregnant in our first cycle, I feel like I’d feel a lot more ready to move forward with donor eggs.  I think we are definitely going to do one more round at this point and then reassess.  I’m glad things worked out for you though![/quote]

PP here. I totally understand about not being ready to move on to donor egg. There other complication with donor egg is that insurance doesn’t cover it. One of the reasons we tried OE IVF so many times is that we had some insurance coverage for it. We also got pregnant a few times, but had early miscarriages. I will tell you that if you find yourself farther down the road and do consider DE, the fact that you got pregnant is actually a good sign. It means that your uterus can implant an egg if you can find a good one.
