How old is too old?

Could I be a candidate for IVF, GIFT or ZIFT with my own eggs? I am now 39.5 and three months before my 39th birthday I was diagnosed with borderline premature ovarian failure. My FSH has varied from the low teens to 30s, and has been successfully suppressed with Estrace, as well as Estinyl. I have had 2 cancelled cycles using gonadotropins. I also had one cycle of Clomid with no response and one natural IUI when I ovulated, but no pregnancy. My RE in has been pushing me to do donor egg. I would do it, but the cost here is rather prohibitive. Is there any hope for me to get pregnant with my own eggs?

That all depends on the test results. If you are ovulating why not try one IVF cycle with your own eggs first & if they are not viable then you can consider an egg donor but at least you'll know that you tried and explored all of your options.

You sound like you have studied this. permit me, how does one go about selecting an egg donor?
