Trying to conceive, ivf & donor eggs

So we have been trying to conceive and due to my partner thinking I have the egg supply of a 18 year old and generally being an idiot bloke so far in the process he has had to do practically nothing. I'm 43 years old I am sure many women can relate to the stress of having a partner who is an idiot and emotionally inept when it comes to the process of fertility. I'm completely stressed, my mood swings have been awfuk as I'm between tears and anger at not being able to conceive.So far I've had loads of tests, all have come back ok and an op to remove a polp in the uterous while all he has had to do is provide a sperm sample. No wonder he feels the process is no big deal currently. my LH came back at about 0.8 and apparently I have few folicles although they could not see the other ovary. This is all at Guys hospital...We have also been told that egg donation could be the most successful route as without them being able to find my other ovary (it is there) they cannot do the hair count and that possibly it may be only a 5% chance of conception through trying to find my eggs /stimulate them. I am going back for another scan.....My partners sperm count was about 37, but they said this didn;t seem to be a problem and kept focusing on me I am devestated. I am ovulating regular and have zero issues and there have been zero issues of concpetion in my family. My question is on Clinics abroad that donate eggs and would it be worth visiting ARGC My marriage feels like it is on the verge of a break down because frankly he would not try earlier and we are now in this position because of him, I feel absolutely desperate and beyond devistated

I'm so sorry you're feeling this sad. I can't help but couldn't leave without commenting. I'm 43 too and also desperate for a baby. (We are beyond fortunate to have one child though). I understand the resentment towards your partner. Women tend to shoulder the burden of all this and it's not fair. Sending hope and hugs. X

Hi @Wishingbaby if you post on the infertility thread you'll get a lot more responses about ivf success rates in your age and donors etc.
