what happens to eggs?

I'm just curious as to what happens to the eggs if ivf cycle is cancelled before ER. Is it possible to still get pregnant? Do you still ovulate?

Yes, you will still ovulate. They prefer you avoid unprotected sex usually if that is the case b/c there are usually a lot of follicles with IVF and if you BD then there is no way to control how many fertilize.

the reason I ask is that my cycle was cancelled 3 weeks ago. Now my breast are swollen and hurt really bad. I took a test but came back neg. I should have started around the 17th. I was not taking progesterone yet which I know causes soreness. I'm really confused.

You were on other things though to stimulate and create follicles so maybe it's just your body coming off everything. Our hormones get so out of wack going on and off things. But if you're that late, I'd just keep taking HPT every once in awhile until you either get AF or a BFP! Good luck.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
