failed donor egg cycle

[redhead68]

2010 - 2 IVF's with own eggs both implanted and had chemical miscarriage. Last month proceeded to DE cycle and failed completely. I respond very well to meds, all hormone levels are normal through process. I am 43, husband 48 we are both in good health. Are there many failed DE cycles???

Thank you for your post.  I am curious if you found a new doctor?  Also, where did you do your immunology testing.  After two years of failed IUI and IVF procedures, we went to donor egg transfer and even split the eggs (15 retrieved and six fertilized) between my partner and donor sperm.  Unfortunately, both transfers did not work and we are left with two lower quality embryos for a last try that are donor/donor.  We are devastated and looking for a good immunology doctor to do some testing.  We will also probably have to go with a guarantee program if we do another round.   We are based in Florida, but actually went to LA for the donor cycles.  It has been a long and expensive journey to no where...

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well despite being pregnant -challenged. I am 43 and my husband is 41. We started fertility treatment 2 years ago with FCI. We had 2 IUI's, 2 IVF's and all failed to work. We waited 6 months to give our body & soul a rest. We decided to do DE. Choosing a donor was not that easy either. It turned out to be a complicated process for us, since we prefer half Asian, half Caucasian donor. We finally found her through our clinic in patient pool of donors. The process went smoothly but we were expecting a good amount of egg to freeze and it turned out we only have 1 to freeze out of 14 that fertilized. Five days after the DE retrieval, my RE transferred 2 AA DE and 1 of my FE which is a BB. I am now 5dp5dblast transfer. I have 6 more days to wait to get my beta HCG result.
Just like  most of you, I am tired of hearing all the negative results from my RE's clinic. I feel like all I am going to hear is BFN. Nothing can replace all the time, effort, cost, psychological & emotional impact infertility brings especially for a very desperate wanting-- to- be- mother- so bad like me and all of the women in this posts.
Do I want to give up? Sometimes. But I guess God will work his way & miracle as long as we keep our faith & believe that it will happen.

You are welcome.  Luckily, usually our desire to become parents is stronger then our disappointment.  Most ladies on  here that don't give up go on to become parents through pregnancy.  

The other 5-10% go on to adoption.  
This journey is not for the faint of heart.  I honestly believe we are the strongest women alive. Period.  With the strongest men standing behind us.

Most docs  are hesitant to prescribe prednisolone, just FYI.  I had to push, beg and plead to mine.  The do not like suppressing the immune system.  But, I have to say, I have seen quite a few people who use it finally get a healthy bfp.  

Please, keep me updated, and I am here for support too!!!!

Hi
Thank you for the Support!! Today I received a call that the doctor wants to repeat the HCG test tomorrow to confirm bfn. I didn't want to go but my husband said we should go, I will tell him about your recommendation if I decide to try again!!!! Keep you update :) Thanks Again

It was my 7th transfer that worked.  2 iui's neg. then  I did donor eggs first, 1 m/c 4 bfn's, then on to donor embryos.  10 received.  1st transfer was bfn, second successful pregnancy with twins.  Have you ever tried prednisolone?  It helps suppress the immune system so your body doesnt reject the embryos.  I did it on my last transfer, and it worked.  Just a thought.  
I know it's hard.  I am so sorry you have been through so much.  I hope you find the strength to try again.
