I just got back from the RE and even though I doubled my Lupron dose, my follie grew from an 11 to a 19 and I am ovulating anyway. WTF? I am so upset. Since the lab closes 3/14, I am out until April. I can't believe this happened. Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't be doing IVF. UGH! This sucks donkey balls!
Oh no, that is horrible. I'm so sorry, I can only imagine how hurt and disappointed you are feeling right now.
Please don't automatically think that it is a sign you shouldn't be doing IVF, this may sound trite but there is a reason this happened. Maybe April is THE month for you and you will only have to go through with it one time. Sending up a prayer for you this morning.
I'm so sorry Amanda...I was just signing on and going to make a good luck shout out post for you and then I saw your update....definitely not the news I wanted to see
It must be so heartwrenching to set yourself up for an IVF cycle and do everything right, only to have it cancelled. I'm hoping April will be THE month for you....maybe your phantom baby is the stubborn type and only wants to be born in January
Will you be converting the cycle to an IUI cycle? Or just TI? Good luck and lots of {{hugs}}

I am so sorry for the cancellation. I used to be on this board more often, but moved to IF. I hope you don't mind my post. This past summer I had 2 IVF cycles cancelled. I felt so hopeless afterwards. I actually took a break for 3 months before trying again. I switched doctors (not clinics). I felt a little stressed, but was just so happy to make it to retrieval this past time. I will tell you I was also wondering if the IVF world was trying to tell me something. My doctor had hope and was positive, but I wasn't. I am glad I did it (for obvious reasons), but also I felt like I conquered the process!
The break for a month might just be the trick you need. Have you discussed another protocol? I did the long lupron twice and then it stopped working. My recent success was microdose lupron. Really aggressive, but no cancellation. Good Luck!
Sorry for the post and run earlier, but I had to go work off some aggression at the gym
Thank you so so so much for your kind words...you all make me feel like I am not alone and I truly feel your support. I promise I am not a Debbie Downer. I really am an optimistic, it is just getting really hard. DD's bday is this weekend, so I am going to focus on what a gift she is to us. I may also indulge in some reatil therapy and some booze. You ladies are the best. Thanks for always knowing the right things to say!
I, too, am thinking this O might be THE one! :-) I am so sorry Amanda... now go get busy!
I am with you in the disappointment arena. I am 8dp3dt and testing negative. Almost certain this FET is a bust. And with no more embies, we are done unless we miraculously conceive on our own. :-(

DS #2 born 10/22/11 at 38w1d after FET #1. Life is GOOD!!!!!
Ugh! That totally stinks! How frustrating to have your hopes up and then have the IVF cancelled. I hope that April turns out much, much better for you and makes it worth the wait! By the way, happy birthday to your little girl! Our daughters are very close in age, mine turns 3 on April 1st.

oh sweetie! I am so sorry! April is your lucky month! I can feel it. I know it is hard, but try to stay positive. And who knows, maybe IVF isn't supposed to be the answer and you'll get a bfp before April. Enjoy your daughter's birthday weekend! Thinking of you!

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
I've been out of town and missed your posts since Friday morning...I'm SO sorry.
I don't even know what to say, that must be so profoundly disappointing.
Are you guys able to at least try on your own? Maybe you O'd anyway for a reason....
Hang in there, I am so sorry, I hope your gym trip helped you out a bit.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I'll continue to hold good thoughts for you. Any chance for TI?
BIG (((HUGS))) to you - hang in there and know we are all here for you!

I agree though, don't give up! Sometimes breaks are just what we need to get to that BFP!!! I'm rooting for you!
