Declining Egg Quality at 37 Understanding Donor Egg IVF and Emotional Readiness?
4 months ago
I am 37 and have never conceived. My fertility tests suggest that my egg quality is declining, and my doctor mentioned that donor eggs might be necessary. I feel anxious about the process, the success rates, and the emotional aspect of using donor eggs. How do women usually cope with this, and what realistic expectations should I have regarding pregnancy outcomes at my age?

Donor eggs are often recommended when a woman’s egg quality is significantly reduced due to age or medical conditions. Using donor eggs can dramatically improve pregnancy success rates, often comparable to younger women, because the embryos are created from healthy eggs.
Coping emotionally involves counseling, support groups, and open communication with your partner.
Setting realistic expectations, understanding the process of egg donation, and knowing that success rates are higher with donor eggs can help reduce anxiety and allow couples to focus on the positive potential of achieving pregnancy.
