Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[whattheiveff]

Oneof - Yikes, thats what I'm afraid of. Were you on a high dose of stims? I asked if there was a chance of cancellation and the nurse said there was nothing to indicate that this early in the process. I don't care if they cancel me, but I'd rather not waste all that medication that I'm paying out of pocket for!

I understand and that is why I was so mad when they cancelled me on CD13!!! I wasted all those meds.

If your RE is not concerned at this point, I would just relax and see where it goes. I know eaiser said than done!

Whatthe, I'm pretty sure that's around where I was on day 7 of my last cycle. I know that on day 5 of stims last time I was only around 150, which seemed crazy low, but things ended up OK. Maybe this protocol is even more of a slow burn than the microflare...

Whathe I just had this long post to you and lost it!!
Basically I'm hoping you can trust that your doc isn't concerned and by the sounds of Septs experience you very well might be seeing some more action in a couple days. But being a fellow OOP'er I understand not wanting to use the meds to have the cycle canceled. If that would happen, maybe you can ask your clinic for samples for the next round since their protocol was crap for you. I'm still hopefully that you're going to see progress on Wednesday!

 

[whattheiveff]

Thanks ladies. I called my clinic again to try to get more info, and although my doctor and usual nurse are totally out of pocket today, the nurse I did speak with said that my results this time around aren't too different from the last time so I shouldn't worry. Last time on day 8 I had 3 measurable follies with a "few" little ones. This time on day 7 I had 2 measurable follies and "mulitple" little ones. I guess only time will tell! I'm not kidding, this medication makes me nutso. I hate it.

Sorry you're feeling nutty I think it still sounds like it's going to come together.

 

[L4hope]

We all get a little nutty going through this craziness...and we're allowed to dammit!

 

[Lucie73821]

What, I agree with the others. If your dr isn't concerned at this point, I'd try hard not to be too worried. I know it's easier said than done though.

As for me, I just got my beta results from Thursday. It's 14.6. I thought that was pretty good but the nurse says it is too high so I have to have more blood drawn Thursday. I just want this to be over with. .

 

[L4hope]

Oh Lucie that just stinks! I remember be in limbo hell waiting for my beta to drop down low enough. It's just the pits, but you're almost there.

 

[septbride]

Lucie, I'm so sorry this is dragging on. Ugh. You're almost there now.

 

[oneof14]

Lucie, 2nd what Sept said, so sorry this is dragging. I hope soon you will be able to put this behind you and start your FET.

Whatthe, how is everything going?

 

[whattheiveff]

Lucie - You're almost there. Hopefully it will be finally be over this week.

Oneof - I go in tomorrow for another monitoring appointment which will be day 10 of stims. Hoping things are starting to move and shake a little more down there!

 

[whattheiveff]

Quick question and sorry for TMI. I just noticed a bunch of EWCM. I'm only on day 9 of stims....is that normal? I don't remember noticing it during my other cycles.

 

[septbride]

Huh. You started the Ganirelix, right?

 

[oneof14]

Hopefully you have more follies at the right size. Yes, I've have alot of CM while stimming, completely normal. Have you starting garelix yet?

 

[whattheiveff]

Ok good. Yes, I started ganirilex this morning. Also, I just saw my baseline U/S results and it shows a small fibroid on my endometrium and a small cyst on my myometrium. Nobody mentioned that to me when they told me start stims and I've never had that before. Anyone have experience with that? So much for being zen this cycle.

 

[oneof14]

Whatthe, from what I understand, they dont cause issue, unless its making your E2 levels to rise (without any follies growing). If they didnt mention it to you, maybe its not going to affect the IVF Cycle.

 

[septbride]

Whatthe, I also had small fibroids at the beginning of one of my cycles. I think it's pretty common and isn't a problem unless they reach a certain size. Ditto for the cyst. As you know, my first cycle was delayed because of a cyst, but I believe they'll only delay if it's a bigger one. Worry not!

 

[MoBaby]

I had a small fibroid when I started ivf and it grew to 10cm when I had my first mc so I needed surgery. Keep an eye on it. Usually not a problem.

 

[whattheiveff]

Thanks ladies! You've eased my mind so much!
