Hi all. So after 6 failed IUIs, 1 failed IVF, and 1 miscarriage (on Thanksgiving, no less) after conceiving miraculously the natural way this year...I have sadly realized that at the ripe old age of 42, another biological child for my husband and I is most likely not in the cards.
I would love to do donor egg IVF - but the clinics near me (I live in the Chicagoland area) have quoted the cost around $30,000...and after spending 13 grand out of pocket on our failed IVF, I just don't think we can swing that cost. Does anyone know of any other clinics in Illinois (or even in a neighboring state - if the cost was low enough I would happily travel) that have lower rates?
Donor embryo is a cheaper option, but my husband is hesitant about going that route, so I would very much like to find a donor egg IVF program for us, but suspect that most places are going to run us the 30 grand. But...figured I would post and see if any of you have any advice! thanks so much.
