Infertility

Cycle canceled

I can't even pick an emotion for how I feel right now.  Disappointed, pissed, upset...

I have a total of 12 follicles.  3 are dominate.  4 are medium - large size.  5 are small - medium.  No wonder I feel like I am about to burst!

 No one felt comfortable with me triggering, so we are canceling this cycle.Crying  I feel like this just isn't meant to happen for us.

TTC since 5/08

5/09 - 12/09 - 4 IUI

Re: Cycle canceled

  • I'm so sorry.  My cycle was almost cancelled and I was a wreck about the thought of that.  But it is meant to happen for you! Sometime, just not this time.  But waiting longer is so frustrating.  Take it easy today. 
    Ectopic pregnancy Aug. 2008, followed by a diagnosis of two blocked tubes.
    IVF#1 gave us a BFP on 8/24/09, DD born May 2010
    Surprise, natural BFP July 2012 ended in miscarriage 9/4/12 at 10w4d
    FET#1 January 2013

  • I am really sorry. It will happen...
  • I have had a cycle cancelled before - but for the exact opposite reason - I didn't respond to meds at all.

    It totally sucks to hear that you can't follow thru with the cycle.  But, I am a firm believer that each cycle is a great way for your RE to better learn about your body and how you respond.  Your RE can take this information and create a better plan of action for you!  Try to stay positive!

    Big hugs to you right now as you deal with this news.

     

  • It is great that you responded so well!  We were in a similar position and it sucked, but in the end I was really glad that I responded.  The next time they can tone it down so you aren't in this position.  Sorry that you are frustrated.  Try to enjoy your time between now and the next cycle.  In a way for me that was kind of refreshing since it was out of my control.  Hold onto hope.  
  • I remember when I was overstimulated and they cancelled my cycle and I started crying in the office. My frustration and disappointment level had skyrocketed, plus all the hormones didn't help.

    The positive is that you know that you are reacting to the meds. Try to stay positive even though it sucks!

  • I'm really sorry. Having had my IVF cycle canceled as well I know how heart breaking it is. It is something that we just don't prepare for when we try to prepare for the IVF emotions and so it hits extra hard. Hang in there and hopefully soon you'll be able to talk to your doctor about a new protocol. Again very sorry.
  • Thanks for all your words of encouragement.  It's definitely helping.

    I think I'm taking this particularly hard because last cycle I had to take a break due to 2 cysts.  So, I was so excited & optimistic to finally start this whole process again, only to have to cancel :(  Plus the fact that I am surrounded by pregnant women just doesn't help.

    I am going to make the best of this day and meet some friends down the shore.  Then drink my face off!!!

  • I'm so sorry for your disappointment. This IF stuff is such an effin rollercoaster ride. But I do agree with the pp that your protocol will just need to be adjusted since your response was so great.
  • I am so sorry!  IF blows and is so not fair on many levels.  Hugs to you!

  • i'm so sorry that it is being cancelled!  :(  and it really sucks that you are surrounded by preg. women too :(
  • I'm assuming you are doing injects with IUI? Do you have the option of converting overstimmed IUI cycles to IVF?

    We decided to put the breaks on our IVF plans and start with injects and IUI and we left the door open to convert to IVF if I am overstimmed. This gave me so much peace of mind. My understanding is a converted cycle (even without insurance) is much less OOP.

    Regardless, I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

  • I'm very sorry to hear about your canceled cycle :( I will pray for you. I'm also in south jersey, the mt laurel area if u ever need someone to talk to.

    Again, good luck and be strong!
