IVF #2 cycle canceled

Sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been busy at work and haven't been able to bump much lately. Today is day 7 of stims. I was doing Follistim 125 twice a day. They were also going to have me do Ganirelix and Luveris for this cycle but I didn't make it that far. This antagonist protocol was new for me. With IVF #1 I hyperstimmed and was on bed rest for 3 weeks. So RE wanted to avoid hyperstim this time around. They were going to do a Lupron trigger.
At my u/s this a.m. there were only 9 follicles total. I knew something was wrong when the u/s ended so quickly. With my last IVF I had 42 follicles at trigger. I asked how many follicles I had and the nurse said I had 9. I didn't think much of it and the nurse didn't seem alarmed. I kept thinking quality over quantity. My eggs were poor quality the last time.
The nurse called me later to tell me they were canceling my cycle. RE reviewed my past IVF cycle and thinks that I'm not responding well enough to the stims this time to proceed. I'm doing shared risk and he doesn't want me to waste this cycle. With 9 follies it's not like we could safely convert to an IUI.
I am so heartbroken and devastated. I never dreamed that I wouldn't produce enough follies. My diagnosis is PCOS. I've never had a problem with being an under-producer for follies. I guess the protocol change wasn't beneficial. I'm an emotional mess. I can't stop crying. I'm glad that this cycle won't count towards shared risk but I wish this cycle would have turned out better than it did. I have my younger sister's baby shower tomorrow and I don't think I'm going to go now. I can't handle it.
Nothing can ever be easy. I'm truly begging to think we'll never have a bio child. Sorry for my long vent.
