Today, I’m answering Ask the Egg Whisperer questions. One of them comes from Helen, who asks if she should move on to donor eggs after having one failed IVF. She is 45.

My short answer for Helen focuses on two things:
The likelihood of being able to find a good egg at 45 is maybe 2% to 3%. A 45 yo may still have a healthy egg left. It is possible but chances are low.

When I have a patient in a similar spot to Helen, I share this: If you're going to live the rest of your life wondering what might happen if you didn’t do just one more cycle, you should give it a try. However, if you're ready to move towards something that's going to give you a much higher chance of pregnancy, my suggestion is to move on to donor eggs.

I also suggest that women take all the time they need to talk to a psychologist. Look at all the different egg banks .. Look at egg donor agencies like @tulipfertility, and look at my #FreezeAndShare program. Consider embryo donation and adoption.Take time to educate yourself on all the possible options and then get really excited about what you're going to do next. If you're not excited, it's not time yet.It just means you haven’t find the right match.

If you want to hear my full answer to Helen’s question, you can find it at the 23 minute mark.
