When did you decide on egg donor/embryo adoption?

Hi there, I have an egg quality problem and <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> has been a bust so far and my doctor is recommemding egg donor or embryo adoption as our best option for having children. I would like to know when and how you decided on egg donor/ embryo adoption? Were you and your partner on the same page? At what point did you tell your family and were they supportive?

Here is my back story:

I started <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> in Nov 2018 at age 34. Since then, I have had 3 egg retrievals, two five day blasts (from different cycles). I have done 2 Frozen Embryo transfers, one which resulted in miscarriage and the other did not produce a positive pregnancy test. My doctor says we could do another egg retrieval using a lower dosage. My protocol in the past has been a very high dosage. The idea would be to see if a lower dose produces fewer eggs, but of better quality. My husband wants to try another round, but I am leaning towards embryo adoption or egg donor ( have not decided which.)
