Donor cycle at 51

Hi - Just checking if anyone knows if there are clinics abroad that will do donor cycles when the recipient is 51.

Thanks,

Donor cycle at 51

Hi All,

Is it possible to get donor eggs at age 51 in Europe?

And good luck to all those currently cycling!

What clinics will offer egg donation at age 51

Hi All,

I have one child. I used IVF and my own eggs for her. I really want a second child now and realize I will need donor eggs. I tried with my own 5 years ago but was unsuccessful. I can't shake the need for a second child.

Is it too late. Are their clinics where the recipient can be older ...

Re: Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

Hey Ladies,

I wish you all the best of luck. I myself had two follicles grow (slow slow slow than super fast as I already mentioned). They were both empty..no eggs at retrieval. So after the max dose on meds its clear that at 44 my ovaries are done!

I hope everyone else has better luck than me!

Re: Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

Hope ...I know what you mean about psyching yourself out. I did my 5th ever trigger tonight and I still had to force myself to do the shot. . I do all my own shots as when I first cycled, DH and I were in different states for time. He knew I could do my own shots so was unwilling to do them for me ...

Re: ghost ... does a 1 in a million chance sound right to yo

Thanks, I was thinking around 2 percent myself ... my chances have never been great and I won't kid myself on this one, but at least I get to try.

On that note, SG will not cycle me again after this round and usually they won't go to retrieval with less than 3, but luckily my RE is cool with just ...

Re: Ghost...or anyone... thoughts?

Yeah I get triggered later too. I wonder if the endometrial receptivity varies. My lining is always super thick (like 12 mm on day 12), but I know it does not need to be that thick...

ghost ... does a 1 in a million chance sound right to you?

At 44 with two follicles? I triggered with one at 22ish and one at 17. My stims went for 12 days but the last two days the follicles grew 8 mm each. Oddly, I had just switched to a new batch of gonal f from another company, but RE says its just a sign of ovarian dysfunction and that it just took ...

CJ I love that you are waiting patiently....hahahahaha! I know how it is...I remember at one point just pacing back and forth. I find movies help get my mind off the wait. Oh and I had horrid gas and stomach pains during my last 2WW...the one that worked...

Re: Ghost...or anyone... thoughts?

The Estrogen absolutely suppressed you....at least this is what my doctor told me. Your estrogen is similar to mine at start and in fact I had an E2 of 35 on my last successful EPP day 1 so don't worry the E2 is too low...

Re: Ghost -- ACK!! Question about poor response to stims.

You sound just like me...my last cycle was canceled on day 6 as I had 7 follies, but nothing grew and my estrogen came back at 12 (lower than day 4). I am 44.

I cycled again and now at day 10 I have a 14 and a 12 , and my estrogen is at 250. I think its cause we are older honestly.

My FSH Is 9 ...

Re: passed a 5 cell

I thought that I read somewhere that there is a point where the growing embryo has to start making using its own genes vs relying on the preloaded products that were already in the egg when it was fertilized. I could be wrong, but I believe our eggs are filled with proteins that were made ...

Re: Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

I am just joining this group.

I have just 2 follicles growing at day 10 of stims. They are 12 and 14mm so I really need them to grow grow grow. Its likely my last attempt since I am 44. My last round got canceled as I had no follicles growing at day 6 and an E2 of 12!

I am just praying these two ...
