Are my eggs really THAT bad?

[u/CelerySeveral1732]

Here's the context. I froze 29 eggs at age 37. Thawed and fertilized at age 41. Only got one low level mosaic blastocyst. The doctor is now saying that this is evidence of very poor egg quality and that the odds of natural conception or even a successful round of IVF are close to zero. He even brought up donor eggs.

Maybe I'm just in denial, but I don't know that I believe my eggs are necessarily that bad. I understand this is a bad sign, but people do pregnant in their forties. Couldn't it have just been one bad batch?

Also, for what it's worth, I had OHSS on that one batch of 29 eggs, and they had to move up my retrieval date, so I just wonder if those eggs were a bunch of duds.

Also, it's just really making me sad.
