[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

It has been very interesting reading such wide ranging responses to this issue. I’m surprised that there are so many people who would not feel any special attachment to a child conceived with their eggs, beyond that of niece or nephew. I guess I just would have a hard time knowing that there was a child in the world who was genetically as much mine as my own two kids, but who I was not raising. The idea also makes my husband very uncomfortable, and while I know it’s not his decision, I feel like his opinion should count for something. So I guess I will have to say no.

While my relationship with my sister is generally good now, that has not always been the case. I’m a little concerned than any response is going to upset the peace we have achieved. I am over 35, so I am hoping that the fertility doctor will tell her I am a poor donor candidate before I have to say no to her directly. [/quote]

They won't tell her outright no, but I had zero conception issues and children when we did IVF because of losing pregnancies (not abnormal ones). It made zero sense for us to do IVF but that was the "only" solutions offered to us.

All that background to say our first retrieval was 35+ eggs and only got 1 euploid embryo. So 0.5% at 35. I would strongly, strongly caution against it. She wants eggs from a 25 year old and not a 35 year old.[/quote]
