Hi all
We have been trying to conceive since Dec 2019 and we fell pregnant in May 2020, and sadly miscarried in July 2020. We've not since conceived again. MY GP referred me to a fertility clinic where they looking at all my test results and our personal situations, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to get pregnant naturally but due to my age (almost 45) I probably only have about a year left of being able to have a healthy baby. They did suggest a donor egg was an option available to us. We have also been considering adoption, but if we are able to have one, even if it's only 50% my partners DNA, this is something we are going to research and seriously consider.
I wondered if anyone who has been through IVF with donor eggs can tell me about their experiences (good or bad) if you feel able to as it will really help me understand the reality of going through this, as opposed to just the idealistic perspective.
Unfortunately, we probably would only be able to have one shot at it due to funds.
Thank you to anyone who feels able to help me with their comments and/or experiences, or even "have you thought about XYZ" as we are just at the start of our journey with a potential IVF experience.

@youvemademyshitlist I understand this thread is now quite old but just wondered which clinic did you use in Uk?
