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???

Hi, ladies i did my first ivf cycle late last year and the doc. cancelled during retrieval  because there were no mature follicles.I was advised to do donor ivf which i did. On Monday when i did the blood test it was negative. I am so devastated they implanted three embryos  and none survived they were fresh ones, there are none frozen.I did  three loans to do these cycles now i am out of funds, i am 38yrs.I feel i have nothing to live for.

Oh honey, yes it is a lot more common then 1 would think.  I had a failed donor cycle.  1 fresh, 4 frozen, and the first one ended in m/c, and the rest were a bust.  Many ladies on here have been successful with donor eggs, and more then just a few weren't.  
Most ladies that fail the first time with donor eggs go after a refund program for the next move.  There are programs out there that offer 100% money back guarantees with donor eggs.  That was the route my husband and I were going to take, but ended up using donor embryos.  

Do you have any frozen embryos??   A lot of times, the frozen embryo transfer (fet) will work, when the fresh cycle didn't.

Hello ladies, I am new to this community. I just had my first DE failed cycle. I am devastated totally. Cant stop the tears.....I am 40 years old and I resorted to DE after I was told that my eggs have poor quality, I have very low AMH. I am not sure if at this point I am willing to try again...I am too hear broken....my doc had said to expect twins and I turn out not even pregnant....I am a total mess right now....any support or advise would be appreciated. my DE was 23...

Dear Kerrimick,
My heart goes out to you!!!!   I'm so shocked CCRM wasn't able to help you.  I started CCRM 5 months ago after numerous failed treatments at other clinics.   If it isn't asking too much, I'm curious why CCRM is recommending surgery?  Do you have a tipped uterus?  I know how frustrating and sad this whole process is and I want you to know that you are not alone!  Thank you in advanced for your response and my best wishes to you and your husband.

My heart hurts reading your post, my donor egg cycle failed when we fresh with fresh embryos, and our frozen worked, though donor made it to 29 eggs, only 3 fertilizied, and 1 worked.

I hope you soon make all your financial arrangements and go for another successful attempt, I wish your dream soon comes true.

I agree with your post 100%

I am heterozygous for Mthfr and had 14 miscarriages with own eggs before I went the donor route.  Discovered The late Dr. Alan Beer, the founder of Reproductive immunology, who also worked with Dr. Sher.  Did IVIG, embrell,as well as blood thinners to prevent my body from rejecting the pregnancy.  two days ago I celebrated the birthday of my beautiful 7 year old donor egg son who I had at 48.  Without the immunological treatment, this would not hae been possible,

my IVf clinic did not believe in these kinds of treatment.  We worked separately with the Alan E. Beer clinic in California.  The clinic still exists with protégées of Dr. beer.  Anyone who has had a failed donor cycle should, IMHO, be tested for immunological issues.
