Description

Today one of the 20 Ask the Egg Whisperer questions I’m answering comes from Helen, who asks if she should move on to donor eggs after having one failed IVF. She is 45. My short answer for Helen focuses on two things: The likelihood of being able to find a good egg at 45 is maybe 2% to 3%. A 45 yo may still have a healthy egg left. It is possible but chances are low. When I have a patient in a similar spot to Helen, I share this: If you're going to live the rest of your life wondering what might happen if you didn’t do just one more cycle, you should give it a try. However, if you're ready to move towards something that's going to give you a much higher chance of pregnancy, my suggestion is to move on to donor eggs.
