I'm so sorry to hear about the miscarriage - it's not fair that people who are so generous to others have such things happen to them. Like stephen_dedman says, hope you get the happiness you deserve soon.

I thought about donating an egg a few years ago - heading towards 40 childless does that to you - but like battblush I was too old (35 is the cutoff in the UK - same here?). Given how desperate people are for the eggs maybe the authorities should rethink this guidance - I imagine they're screened after harvesting to verify they're good quality?
