Success after IF

Cancelling cycle

Just talked with my RE he said he's pretty sure I have 4-5 follies based on my u/s and E2.  He said he would not do IVF on me.  He said it decreases our chances because I don't have a ton of eggs and my E2 isn't high enough.

He did say I could do IUI, but the HOM is a huge risk.  I'm not comfortable with that risk.  So we're cancelling.

I'm devistated.  Today has been such a rollercoaser.  I'm exhausted.  I had such hope that this was it.  I truely felt that this was it.  We've been trying for #2 for 16 months now.  I feel like Conor is never going to have a sibling and it kills me.

Re: Cancelling cycle

  • (((HUGS)))   What a day...  I am so sorry, momma!   This is so tough. 

    Take good care of yourself tonight (and have a glass of wine or two!!!   well deserved after the day you've had...).

    Because we're fancy like that.

  • I'm sorry. I get that. I always felt pushed to keep going, keep going... and like it would never happen for us.

    a big glass of wine has been sent your way. (or tea or whatever you fancy ;-)   )

  • Ugh, I'm so sorry. Canceled cycles hurt just as bad as unsuccessful ones. It's such a build up and then such a huge let down. I second the suggestions for wine.

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • I'm sorry, what a whirlwind of a day you've had!!

    Will you repeat with another follistim IUI next cycle?  My first (and only) follistim cycle I was started at 75iui to stim and didn't stim for very long before I had two mature follicles when I triggered.  

    I'm sorry this wasn't it for you, but I hope that next cycle will be it!

  • I'm so so sorry. The rollercoaster is awful. Eat some ice cream and get some rest. Huge HUGS. I think you made the right decision.

    I have to take the next cycle off. But I think we'll do Follistim iui next. Who knows....

    I just wish when they saw I had 10 follies at my first u/s that they talked about converting to IVF rather than decreasing my dosage to try and "save" my iui. But I can't change anything now...

    Wine time for sure. Thanks again ladies.
