I am so sorry. The whole process is so stressful and so painful.

The same thing happend to me two weeks ago. I've been so depressed and today AF came to rub it in. I'm getting choked up just writing this but I pray that we get through it.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully your next cycle will be more successful. Best of luck.

I am so sorry to hear that. Did they tell you what went wrong? The guy who draws blood at my RE office told me that as disappointing as a failed or canceled cycle might be - each time they learn a little more about how to fine tune your medications so you have a better chance next time. Don't lose hope. I'm in a stagnant month right now (between IUIs) and I'm taking birth control pills (talk about depressing!) to give my ovaries a break. Maybe January will be our magic month :-)

Before I started meds I had 14 follies now I have 2 on the left side and the ones on the right are not responding to the meds. My blood test level was 65 which she said was really low. She said we could add on a new med called Luveris, but there is no guarantee that a few days after I start that we won't be having this same conversation. As painful as it is I would rather stop now while we are still ahead (a little) and start fresh since they know alittle more about me and my body. The strange thing is we started this IVF cycle due to male factor.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know how much energy goes into just gearing up for the cycle.

I was wondering what your med protocol was.

Hang in there!

I am so sorry Krisi. I would be heart broken too. Do they know why you had the follicles and then they went away?

I am so sorry that you had do stop once on your way, but it is true that they learn more and more about you each time and can really learn what will be best for you. Look at it this way, better to stop then have a BFN....Your chance will come and with better preparation by your RE! You will be on your way to a BFP!

Best Wishes!

Oh Krisi, I'm sorry. I have certainly been where you are. The good thing (the silver line if you will) is that the RE has better information about your body. He/She will be able to fine tune your meds on your next cycle for better response. Keep us updated on what's next.

i am so, so sorry! I know that this whole experience just doesn't seem fair..to any of us! Try to take this time for yourself and your family and come the first of the year you'll be ready to go again. Good luck!

I am truly sorry about your cancelled cycle and know from experience how painful it can be. I too, had a failed cycle in September. I did not respond to the meds and only one follicle developed w/300 units of Gonal F. What made matters worse is that I converted to an IUI and had no expectations that it would work. I was devestated. The three months that I took off helped me regroup and start a healthier diet and healthier attitude. My problem is an elevated FSH, so the fact that I have four this month is a miracle. Good luck and best wishes next month.

I am so so sorry. I can't imagine how dissapointed you are. Try to keep positive...enjoy your holiday and get mentally and physically ready for your next cycle! Don't lose hope!

Thanks everyone for the very kind words! I am really depressed today and I am trying to work my way out. I have never felt this way before and am not sure how to deal with my feelings. I am normally a stress eater so I am trying to find a healthier way. I think I am going to take a short break from the site until I regroup. I know I will be fine once I actually get to talk to my husband in person instead of over the phone.

Good luck to everyone, I hope your luck is better then mine. I will be back in a couple of days. Love you all!!!

i'm sorry to hear but i dont understand why they cant just increase your meds now and give it a try?
