Hi ladies, just wanted to see if anyone has any experiences to share using donor eggs with this clinic?
With which clinic?
me - 45.5, husband - 43.5
1 natural pregnancy but m/c in June 2011
7 failed IUIs, 3 medicated and 4 non-medicated, all BFN
I was a poor responder to the meds, only produced 1 viable egg so I'm not a candidate for IVF
Suffering deeply, watching all my friends get pregnant and raise kids.
No one in my immediate circle of friends and family who has gone through this so forums are amazingly helpful.
Dec 2013 - have chosen a donor with San Diego Fertility Center and have begun the process. If all goes well we'll get me preggo in April 2014. IF all goes well...
It DIDN'T go well - our donor failed her genetic testing. It took MORE exhausting searches 24/7 to find another we liked, and finally she's passed and good to go. IF all goes well we'll go down to SDFC mid-June 2014 for the egg transfer and get me pregnant..if all goes well...if... if... if... so many letdowns cannot allow me to be hopeful, just wait and see...
June 2014 Went to SDFC, everything went smoothly. Well, kind of...family stuff... but transfer went well
July 16 2014 did blood test...BFP 
Wow. First time, feeling a lot emotions and crying uncontrollably for last 48 hours.
Hoping it sticks. That's all for now.
Aug 11 first u/s - TWINS. omg....good size, good heartbeat. I'm terrified.

I'm guessing Repromed since that's the forum this thread is in....
Me - now 36 Him - 37
Trying to conceive since our wedding day May 25, 2008.
Started Clomid Jan-April 2012.
Referred to RFP June 2012.
First consult at RFP November 2012.
First IVF cycle on antagonist protocol (GonalF, Luveris) January 2013.
Transferred two day-3 embryos, had severe OHSS, lost one twin between 7-13 weeks but was expecting one little one October 2013.
Found out at 6 mos that our little one had died weeks earlier and had to induce and deliver stillborn, July 25, 2013.
Something found on adrenal gland at follow up ultrasound, MRI showed what seems to be a benign tumor. Meeting with specialist Jan 8, 2014 - all fertility treatments on hold. :/
Tumour is definitely producing Aldosterone (causes high blood pressure) and Cortisol. Lucky me, only 34 similar cases recorded in the world! Tumour removed May 2014.
Approached about a possible adoption March 2014. Rush through all the paperwork and process.
Charlotte Evangeline born June 27, 2014. We brought her home on July 7 and held our breath for 10 days until she officially became ours.
Surprise BFP October 2014. Due to wonky cycles, ultrasounds convince Doctors I have a blighted ovum but detailed ultrasound reveals heartbeat at 6w3d. On progesterone support and waiting to see if pregnancy is still viable. Holding our breath again.

That's a pretty major accusation. . . I'm surprised he's still in business. . . . one would think that he would not be able to retain his medical license. Were you a donor at the clinic or an intended recipient? What donor egg program/agency did you use?
