Update on 2nd opinion
We should start thinking about using an egg donor. That's it in a nutshell. The second RE we met with yesterday said our best shot at a healthy pregnancy and live birth would be with a donor. He said my FSH levels are consistent with that of a 45yrold I'm only 37 and that he'd be surprised if I didn't start menopause early.
I'm devastated. We are both willing to consider a donor but I just don't know if we can afford it.
Anyone else on this board have experience using an egg donor??

DD conceived naturally in 2009. TTC #2 since August 2010. Praying for guidance as we decide what's next.

Thank you! I didn't realize there was a third party board on the bump so I will definitely look there for support.
