Yes, you can avoid donor egg and conceive with your own child.
Depending upon your case, Ayurveda can help you conceive naturally with your egg. Ayurveda support fertility in holistic way-The ancient healing system Ayurveda teaches us the importance of the interrelationship between mind, body, and spirit in order to achieve optimal fertility health.
“Is the donor egg only way forward for us to have a baby? Doctors have scared hell out of us that we, my wife cannot have her own baby and we need to seek donor egg. They have promised to get us a young, fair and our caste female’s eggs. However, before we decide on that I wanted to look around and do whatever else can help us to conceive our own child. We are against donor egg, it is hard to accept that at the age of 28 with normal periods and no other health issue, my IVF failed two times. And now because of low AMH of 0.7ng/ml, doctors are suggesting donor egg. We are confused and exhausted. We do not know what else would help us. We discussed this with one of our close friends who is a fertility expert too to try Ayurvedic medicines. And here we are Infront of you- confused, scared, hopeless and exhausted. Please tell us if there is any hope in Ayurveda for us. We would like to try”. This is what Ramya (patient’s name is changed to protect the identity) told me when she saw me for the first time.
I totally agree to chose donor egg when it is needed, however, it seems to be pushing nowadays. “If you do not start the process next month, you will never be able to conceive, time is running out”, Ramya was told by her fertility doctor to go for IVF. And Ramya decided to chose IVF. Almost 8-10 eggs were retrieved. However, some eggs could not fertilize and many did not mature. Finally, in the second cycle of stimulation, there were 1 grade A and 1 grade B embryos, which were transferred. Sadly, the IVF failed.
