I so hate my body right now!!!

in TTC after 35

So right now I should be on 9 DPO but I have been spotting since 3 DPO. Full blown AF as of last night and cramps that could have killed over the weekend. Then that probably means I didn't ovulate this month even though my temps went up. Temp went way down two days ago below the coverline. I actually got excited thinking maybe it was an implantation dip. I wrong I was. Then last Friday we met w/ the RE about IVF to be done after the first of year. He starts out by saying that 50% of the time the cycle gets cancelled and converts to an IUI...ugh! I hate IF and my body! Thanks for letting me vent.

TTC #1 since 2/10 Me 38 FSH 12.9 & AMH 0.16 DH 47, low sperm count due to meds. 07/11 We have sperm! 28 million, 70% motility, morphology 1% normal. 08/14/11 1st IUI unmedicated BFN. 09/11/11 2nd IUI w/ Femara + trigger BFN 10/14/11 trigger & Final IUI 10/16/11 BFN 10/21/11 Started acupuncture and loving it! 01/21 ET one embryo 6 cell grade C. Beta 02/02. BFN. Taking a much needed break. image

    I'm sorry.  It looks to me like you O'd but just had a very short luteal phase.  It was probably just a flukey cycle.

    I'm no IVF expert but a 50% cancellation rate sounds high.  You might want to post about that on the IF board to see what others have heard and experienced on that count.  It's possible that your RE is more obsessed than most about keeping up his stats.

    I agree about Oing with a shirt o Luteal phase. It has happened to me multiple times. As for the high cancellation rate, I think that is for DOR ladies. We can be hard to stimulate so we get cancelled a lot... I feel you on the"hate my body" comment. Hugs.

    I totally understand about your body not doing what you want it to do!  I have done 4 IVF's cancelled twice of those 4.  My stats as far as FSH and AMH are very similar to yours.  I have found that I need to be my own advocate to move forward with retrieval and transfer.  My first RE wanted us to go right to DE after only one cancelled cycle-and on only 300iu of Follistim.  I have had several RE, and they are definitely concerned about their statistics when cycling those on the upper end of the age spectrum.

    Sadly I can totally relate to how you are feeling. Try to hang in there. It is hard to keep smiling and remain hopeful. That is definitly a struggle I am going through these days. However we all know it is what we must do. I really hope things turn around and you start feeling better. T&P.

    I'm sorry you had a wonky cycle. IF does suck.

    During a suspected crisis last night I was telling my DH that after so much let down, how easy it is to go straight to the worst case scenario when told bad news. He tried to refocus me on the potential positives.
