    First IVF Cycle Cancelled....Devastated

    Hi everyone. This is my first time posting on BellyBelly (just registered today), but I have been following a number of threads for a while.

    I had already started my first IVF down reg cycle (pill, synarel etc), and my egg pick up was supposed to be today. I had my ultrasound on Monday and we measured 18 follicles (between 10-15mm), which I was really excited about. I then had another blood test on Wednesday but when the nurse called me with the results, she told me that my progesterone was too high, indicating that I was already ovulating (or just about to), so the cycle had to be cancelled. I couldn't believe it. Her explanation was that even though I was using synarel to suppress ovulation, that synarel may not work for everyone, and I'm obviously one of those people. I honestly feel like the last month has been a complete waste. The nurse now has to consult the specialist to decide on a new plan of action, which is going to be specific just for me. I'm expecting her to call me over the weekend, so until then, I have no idea where we go from here.

    Anyone else out there who has had cycles cancelled?
