update: IVF officially cancelled

JillAlyJillAly member
in TTC after 35
I only had 2 follicles and the clinic wants 3 before they do IVF.  I'm ok.  I had my cry and now I'm moving on.  We're going to convert it to an IUI.  It's a hail mary shot but it's better than throwing away $1000 worth of drugs without trying anything.  They're going to start me on their most aggressive treatment next month.  Everything is now out of pocket for the drugs but I won't be wasting my last insurance covered IVF if I do it this way.  The only good thing about not being pregnant is I can drink a lot tonight. 
3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again

    I'm sorry. The exact same thing happened to me. 2 follies, converted to IUI.

    We upped my stim dose for the next one, got 6 follies- only 2 fertilzed but one stuck. Good luck with the IUI!

    Sorry to hear that. I'm not a good responder to IVF meds either. Just try to stay positive for the IUI, it could definitely work!

    Im sorry. 

    Good luck with the IUI - sometimes hail marys win the game!   I think this is the right decision for you - at least you will save your insurance coverage for another IVF.

    I'm sorry it was cancelled.  But the good news is that it only takes one good egg! So I'm sending you lots of dust to help you along!

    Good Luck!!!
