What if donor eggs don't work?

I recently had an embryo transfer following a donor egg cycle and I'm terrified about the prospect of it not working. I can't imagine my life without children but equally can't imagine keep putting myself through the heartache of repeated failed cycles and losses.
How do you know when it's time to quit?

There are good success rates with egg donation. Fingers crossed for you. I had one failed cycle but have had 2 successful cycles 😊

Thanks for your comment @Jingers5, there are definitely moments when it's difficult to stay positive! Can I ask, when you say you had one failed cycle and 2 successful cycles, do you mean 2 children from 3 embryo transfers or from 3 full cycles (egg collection/fresh transfer/FET of any remaining embryos)?
Thanks!

I had one failed cycle. I subsequently went on to have 2 children from 2 full cycles.
