Has anyone had IVF cancelled right before ER (saifw)?

theworms · March 2009

So my ER was supposed to be today but since we didn't find sperm my clinic cancelled it.

I triggered on Tuesday night and feeling lots of pressure and pain around my ovaries.

Any idea when this will go away? How long before I get a period?

Thanks in advance.

Haven't had a canceled IVF, but did have a cancelled IUI that I'd already triggered for. I had 8-10 follicles and honestly, it was NOT fun. You should ovulate within about 36 hours and believe me, you'll feel it, but the pressure will stay with you for a bit.

I had also developed OHSS (E2 levels were crazy) so I think that contributed to it.

You should expect to get AF in about 14 days or however long your LP usually is. Although if you have a lot of follicles, you'll have decent enough progesterone that it should take the full 14 days.

take care. I was so sorry to read your post.

I actually know someone who did - Serenity at Serenitynow! had to cancel before retrieval for her third IVF - let me find the link to her blog: https://serenitynowinfertile.wordpress.com/2007/03/page/2/

She was cancelled due to fear of OHSS - it happened March of 2007.

Again, I'm so, so sorry hon.

I have no experience with a cancelled IVF cycle, but I just want to let you know how sorry I am and that I must have missed your previous post. Sending big hugs to you and your husband.

Is there any way they can still retrieve and freeze your eggs?

This way they are ready to go perhaps with donor sperm? I hate to see you lose out on a good cycle but I know you and dh prob need time together to grieve and work out the best options for you-where in fact IVF may not even be needed.

I am so so sorry to hear about this but there is always hope and always a plan for all of us, pls take comfort (((hugs))))

Me!

I had a cancelled IVF before ER for fear of OHSS and too many follies (like 28+ on each ovary), but I had not yet triggered so it might be different for you. I was VERY uncomfortable and it even hurt when I walked. I could not fit into my cloths, and it took about 2-3 weeks to get better.

So sorry you have to go through this.

Cornell didn't offer it as an option. I would have donated my eggs but needed more testing prior to start of cycle.

I guees I'll just deal with it, it's unpleasant and uncomfortable but nothing to what DH is feeling.

Thanks Ladies

I would call them and ask if you can still do the ER and just freeze your eggs, makes much more sense!

roaringrock · March 2009

twice! the night right before ER. it sucked. I had too few follies and my RE didn't think it was wise to go through with ER. I know cornell does not freeze eggs but I think that is just a matter of time.

I'm so sorry you had to cancel. your body gets so beat up during stims and then the disappointment. it's not easy.

We had to cancel an IVF cycle a few days before ER because I developed OHSS and it was going to be dangerous to go ahead with the retrieval. I had a lot of pressure and pain because I was so overstimulated but I got a period within just a couple of days because of the massive drop in E2 levels--that made me feel much better.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this.

No experience but wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.

Oh I'm so so sorry they didn't find any sperm. ?My heart is broken for you.

finallyreilly · March 2009

First, I am so sorry:(

We converted one of our IVFs to an IUI due to poor resonse and the other was cancelled because we had a dominant follicle. I am guessing that you should ovulate right about the same time as they would have done the ER. Hopefully the pressure will subside between tonight and tomorrow. I got AF 13 days after I ovulated. As long as you are not on progesterone, it shouldn't be delayed.

I have no advice, but wanted to say sorry. I am sure this is very?disappointing?and frustrating.

(((HUGS))?

I was so sorry to hear your story. I had an IVF cycle canceled on Day 8 due to low response (I never triggered). I had no pressure or pain due to the low follicle count, and I got AF 10 days later.
