Hi my partner and I live in Brighton and are looking for a fertility clinic for egg donation as a recipient.
We have had a consultation with the Agora clinic in Hove and were left a little deflated. We were told that IVF would most likely fail as the majority of my remaining eggs are deteriorating ( I am 45 ).
The only option left to us would be egg donation but Agora have an upper age limit of 45 and I will be 46 in February. To be honest we just did not get a good feeling there and would like to try somewhere else.
We have been trying for years and have managed to conceive twice, the first time round I had an eptopic and had to have surgery to remove my fallopion tube. I was devastated as I thought my chances were over but miraculously we managed to conceive a year later. This time round though I miscarried at 9 weeks. That was eighteen months ago and we have been trying ever since.
Needless to say like many in my situation I feel really stressed about the whole thing, my partner is younger than me and recently all of his friends are having children.
I know egg donation is our only chance so any advise or recommendations for clinics would be really appreciated.
I come from Dublin and have heard that there is a clinic there that sources their eggs from donors in Eastern Europe.
We are not against travelling abroad or back to Dublin but I work as a teacher am worried that if I need to keep going back and forth my work will not let me ( also would rather they did not know anyway).
Sorry for going on, thanks in advance.
