hi JustJuice it is so frustrating!!! The follies where around 15mm??? So they are hoping to see them grow about 2mm each day or else cancel? Im just taking a punt really hoping that there may be a good one amongst them as we could get to collection and none of them be good quality.. Just unsure now of what to do even if they have grown as maybe i am kidding myself at the moment and am a bit desperate just to do a cycle?
See what Friday brings!
Good luck to you too x

Hi Ladies,

I am not sure if this is where I should post this question or not.

I am going through my first round of IVF and today is day 9 of injections. I went to the FS this morning for a scan and was told there was not much activity happening. He didn't even measure what he could see as far as follicles. He said we will wait and see what is happening on Monday when I go for another scan which will be day 12.

I am scheduled to have the EPU on the Wednesday (day 14) but he said we might have to push it back to the Friday.

Have any of you been through this and had success?

I am feeling really low at the moment, I really thought this was going to be our turn.

Hi NellyM, i am on day 20 of my cycle which is a down regulated one and on Monday my FS told me to cancel as things wherent progressing as he would have liked, i said no i didnt want to and to give my 7 follicles a chance and today had another scan and have been given the go ahead for pick up on Monday so things can change.
Stay positive as hard as it can be and trust that all will be ok.
Good luck to you and your dh x

That's great news, Blossom! Good luck for Monday!

NellyM...same thing happened to me on my first cycle. It's really a stab in the dark for the first cycle - your FS doesn't know how you'll respond until you have done so. After the first cycle your FS should have a better idea of the most appropriate dose of medications for you (although for your sake I hope you are successful on your first cycle!)

Thanks Blossom and Juice,

Well the cycle was cancelled today, they told me the follicles I did have had not progressed enough and becasuse I had heaps of little ones if they put up the dose it was highly likely I would hyperstimulate.

So we are out for this month.

Oh, so sorry to hear that!

Hi sorry to hear your cycle was cancelled! AFM i went for pick up on Monday and they only retrieved one egg which was of bad quality, devastating!
I know it was worth a shot but if they tell you there not growing well they are probably right so put all your energy into the next cycle.
