Told today that my only option for ttc is egg donation. I'm almost 47, with an AMH reading of 0.7. DH is 35 and firing on all cylinders. We have a DD aged 2.1 who was conceived entirely naturally (and unexpectedly).
The consultant has told us to go away and think about it and has said to expect a success rate of 40-50% but at a cost of £6k-£8K. He made it all sound very simple, just match you up with someone similar and away you go.
I have doubts about it being anywhere near that simple as I was sure that egg donors were in short supply. I also have no idea about where it could be done or how long waiting lists would be.
I also have a huge issue with whether it is right to contemplate it given that I already have a DD and so many people are longing to have a child fullstop. I'm not sure I could get over feeling guilty about potentially depriving someone else of the opportunity of becoming a parent in order to give my child a sibling. The consultant tells me I shouldn't feel like that but if eggs are in short supply
