On Monday my US/BW showed 3, possibly 4 follicles that would have been mature by Friday for our IUI. The RE lowered my dose of Gonal-f from 75iu(5 days) to 50iu(the last 2 days). I went back in today to have another US/BW and hopefully schedule IUI for Friday and to my surprise and the doctors...I HYPERSTIMULATED!!!...My 4 small follicles blew up to 8 follicles measuring: 19,15,16,16,12,19,19,10!!!!! OMG!!! I cant believe that this has happened!! I was my first month on Gonal-f and all has went very smoothly so far... I was feeling so positive about things! Now we have been told to sustain from having sex until after I start my period! SO....it's a BFN for us this month!..NO CHANCE AT ALL that we will become parents..yet another month that will go by!!! I'm just devastated!!! How did this happen?...I am just in dis-belief!! WHY US???...I NEVER thought that this would happen!!..Although VERY upset about this..I am very lucky and feel blessed to have a RE that does truely care and love his job..He did inform us that he would be purchasing our next months meds for us b/c this has happened! Does anyone else have a story like this?..I'm just trying to make since of it all! My husband says that it is just God's way of giving us a much needed break and that we just need to except things as they are and stop questioning God and why things keep happening like this...I know he is right but I just wonder if this is God's way of telling me that I will never be a Mom!?!

Your lucky the Dr. is going to buy the meds. I remember going in for my US and having 3 that were ready to go and two right behind it. They said if we waited one day I would have 5 and how do I feel about selective reduction. I said we have done this two months with two and three follies and did not get pg, but now this month we could have five and your saying I could get pg with all five. Their response was it could happen so we went ahead and triggered with three and did not get pg. I know what I would do having been through all this and having hindsight, but I will keep that to myself since it would not be a responsible choice. Did the Doctor ask you to convert to IVF which I am sure is not doable without planning financially. Remember God wants you to have the desires of our hearts, if you are never to be a Mom the desire to be one will go away. Hang in there and remember you have to experience everything you do for one reason or another and when you finally look into your baby's eyes looking up at you I promise you will say it was worth every bit of pain.
Hang in there,

No..he didnt say anything about IVF. He knows that we will not move on to IVF until January...He said he just wanted to cancel so we dont make the 5 o'clock news in 9 months..lol!

I am soooo sorry :( I can't believe you had that many ! Are you kinda tempted to "try" this month? Oh lord I will keep you in my prayers. Love ya.

I am not trying to encourage/discourage you in any way-- just wanted to let you know that on my last IUI I went forward with 7 mature follicles (all over 16) and an 8th that may have been overripe at 27 (was given the HCG trigger and everything). I still wound up with a BFN. Obviously, high order multiples are a risk, but the probability is VERY low for anything above twins. Good luck to you if you decide to go with B/D this month instead of sitting out.

Yeah..my doctor was only concerned b/c last month my husbands count was 281 million AFTER the wash!!..lol! We didnt want to chance having more than 2!

The first month I triggered with 4 follies that were mature and got a BFN...but there is a big differnce in 4 and 8!!!..lol!

This sounds so familiar to me...I had 8 follies @ almost exactly the same size as yours when I got pregnant with my quads! Our RE gave us the "multiples speech", but I was thinking more like we'd have twins! After I triggered with the HCG, I was so miserable...gained 25 pounds of fluid in my abdomen in 2 days & was hospitalized for 9 days due to the hyperstimulation. And you know that our story didn't end happily...multiples are such a risk...like our RE told us, "Nobody makes reality shows & news stories about all the thousands of multiples that DON"T make it!" So even though I know waiting another month is SO frustrating & sad...it is probably best in the long run. Doesn't it suck to try so hard & spend so much money to stimulate, then get shut down cuz you did "too good"?? I'll be keeping you in my prayers...

Wow 8 that's good but not good :) at least now you know you respond to the shots- I did the shots too and started at 75mg and moved to 112.5 and before I got my period I only had one follicule 15mm - i'll say a prayer for next months BFP!!!! Can't wait till we all get pregnant!!

I'm sorry that you have to sit out. That really stinks, but it sounds like you are doing ok and staying very positive! Keep up the good work! I'm supposed to start gonal f in 2 weeks, now I am so scared!I am starting at 1 amp.

I am sorry to hear your news. I just got my ivf cycle canceled because of a stupid endometrioma cyst and now I have to have surgery instead of going through with my cycle this month. YOu get your mind made up that you will have a baby in 9 months and then your dr. says you need to wait for this etc....I am losing my patience. I am so upset I have to wait another month to have a baby. I have survived 4 pregnancy annoucements in the past month. I feel like I take a couple steps forward and then a million steps back. I hope you are hanging in there but I know I frustrated you must feel. We get have intercourse either because of the risk of being pregnant in then getting to surgery.

How frustrating! Your RE sounds really nice. I hope you can "enjoy" your forced month off, and I will be praying for everything to work out perfectly for you next cycle.
