Hi there:
I just concluded the second failed FET. We used frozen donor eggs -- the donor had been successful before with a fresh cycle ... None of the embryos (even on Day 3 before sperm quality comes into play) were great quality. In fact, they were all pretty mediocre to poor.
I'm still in mourning over the disappointment. I thought between the two cycles, I would be successful. And my doctor kept on telling me how great my chances were.
I am almost 48, so I'm not sure if there's hope even with a donor egg. Would a fresh cycle make a difference? I've had numerous MCs over the past four years, including two that made it to over 9 weeks ... my doc thinks I am totally fit to carry a baby and tested to ensure there were no immunological issues.
I feel like I must have done something wrong or that it's not meant to be. I am not sure DH would even be willing to try again, but I'm wondering if there really would be any hope if I tried with a fresh cycle and a new donor at a different facility -- ours did not have a ton of experience with vitrification and had only started doing it recently. I'm wondering if that was part of the issue.
We are even going to try naturally -- although I realize there's almost no possibility. I am menstruating and ovulating, but my eggs are too dang old.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
