After 3 years of trying unsuccessfully for #2, my husband and I have come to terms with the fact that egg donation is going to be our best option. That said, this is all very new and somewhat scary to me, as I never thought I would hear those words from my doctor at 29 years old. I unfortunately have an extremely low AMH level, among other issues (I have to be on Heparin for clotting issues and extra folic acid due to poor absorption), leaving us with very little to work with in terms of egg quantity and quality. We have been through 3 failed IVF's, 2 failed IUI's, and 3 miscarriages, and after this last round, we have made the decision to move forward with egg donation. I am emotionally distraught, as it is hard to accept that my "supplies" aren't good enough, yet, I am willing to do what it takes to make a healthy baby. With that, we are now looking at egg donors and planning to start our next cycle in January 2015. Is anyone else in the same boat and looking for a companion? Because I know that I am going to need some major support through this! We have kept our journey fairly private, so I don't have many people to talk to about it, and we all know that it's a lot easier to talk to people who can actually relate. I am excited and worried and terrified and anxious and all of the above, but I am ready to do this...
