Melisa,
Donor egg is about the most reliable method that you can use. Most of the factors that could often interfere with a woman's chance of success are controled when she uses donor egg. The eggs are coming from young, screened donors who are presumably without problems of fertility. The sperm is often normal but even if it's not the lab can compensate with techniques that can overcome that difficulty. You can choose a center with high quality lab.
As a result of this most donor egg cycles have high chance of success. Look at the CDC web page(www.cdc.gov) search for IVF. You will see that Donor egg is usually more successful in each center than routine ART procedures.
Good Luck.

: Does anyone have any information on solid success rates with Donor Egg. I am 30, but my eggs just don't respond to the stimulation medications. I have tried to do IVF twice, but had too few mature eggs (1-2 at best), have done 12 IUI's. Want to try donor, but if there are underlying issues here would rather not go this route which I see could also be emotionally devastating.
