TTC after 35

Not responding well to meds

I have three follicles and maybe a fourth one that could still pop up.  RE wanted to view the sonogram today during my visit and said if we get 4, we will go ahead with the IVF cycle.  If only three, he may consider converting to IUI.  He said my estrogen level isn't really increasing as he hoped.  This whole process is so frustrating. 

 

Thanks for listening.

  • I'm sorry. It is so frustrating. That is basically what happened to me last cycle. I had 3 and we decided to convert to IUI. Then, a fourth popped up and we decided to move forward with IVF. Then, one got too mature and we were back to 3 and converted back to IUI. So, may ups and downs! I hope another one comes into play for you. Good luck!

    I'm sorry - it sounds terribly frustrating.  Here's hoping for more follies to pop up!

    I'm so sorry.
  • I'm rooting for follie #4 and hope it all goes well for you. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. IVF is so draining emotionally and physically and to add this stress on top of it, just makes it so much more difficult.

    I am so sorry you have to deal with this.  And yes, it is very frustrating.  I was in a similar situation last week.  We only had 2 follies and couldn't convert to IUI because of DHs MFI.  As a result, we cancelled the IVF.  I really hope a few more follies pop up.  I am sending positive vibes your way.  GL!!

    TTC since 3/07. IVF#1 = canceled. IVF#2 = 0% fertilization. IVF#3 = BFN. IVF#4 = c/p.  
    Moving forward with Adoption 2017!
  • Thanks for your bump thoughts ladies.  I sure need it.

  • I'm sorry you're so frustrated...........with so many ups and downs, it's hard to remain calm and unaffected.  Just keep thinking positively........you can only worry about so much when a lot of it is out of your hands.

    I hope that 4th follie grows like crazy!  Good luck!

    Keep the faith.  When I was doing the last cycle of injectables one of my follies just stopped growing and I was told it was probably a "bad" egg. I was only working with two follies for IUI.

    Anyway, the "bad" one picked back up and both "took" in the end and I'm pregnant with twins.  I've had CVS testing and both babies look amazingly healthy, too!

    It's so frustrating but, if there is one thing I learned that last cycle is that anything can happen.  Keep your chin up and good luck!
