We wanted to do an aggressive round of IVF for our last try. They called and decided they didn't want to work on Thanksgiving so they extended my round of lupron 4 days. I had a large cyst growing that went undetected. They asprated it and kept me on Lupron for 11 more days. So needless to say when we went to start I had no follicles in the right and two in the left. I told them if we were not going to get more eggs than last time I would like to stop and start over so we can have a good last try. They said it would be ok and to keep going. Last IVF we retrieved 14 eggs and 7 fertilized and only two made it to blastocyst. Today I have 9 follicles and I am upset. This was to be AGGRESSIVE and I do not feel they did that. I was on the same dosage as I was last time until after three days because I had only 4 follicles so they UPed my dosage. I feel like I am not getting what I paid for. I feel they are trying to cover up for letting that cyst go undetectd. They are also not charging us for u/s right now. What would you do??? a round of IUI Or your last round of IVF?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That does not sound too aggressive to me either. I would probably do IUI and go for another round of IVF if they are only seeing 2 follicles. I know you could end up having more the day of ER, but if this is your last cycle it is risky.
Good luck with what ever you decide!
Best Wishes!
With my last FAILED cycle I had 12 follicles and 9 eggs, we had to do a 3 day transfer because RE didn't think they would make it to the blastocyst. Good Luck in what ever you decide. :)
What I meant to say was I think it would be okay to proceed with you IVF cycle.
