Is It Possible To Do "three-parent IVF"?

dear doctor, we're fighting infertility for 15 years. We did IVF 4 times, (poor responder to stimulation) always with negative beta. Egg donation recommended. Early menopause. Where is it possible to do "three-parent IVF"? I'm 48 now.
I missed my period for couple of months, and now I'm on Duphaston therapy for three months. Thank you for helping us.

Hi,
It is very unfortunate to be a poor responder and given your age, the chances of ovarian response get slimmer year by year. Three parent IVF, which involves fertilization using the DNA material of three persons, has been approved finally by the Great Britain. It was also done earlier in the United States of America, but is not legalized there so far. Since you are on therapy, please go ahead with the procedures and if only your DNA has been shown to be at fault, you may opt for this procedure. Hope this helps.
