Hi girls,

it's been a long time since i've posted as i've had 4 month break from ivf while moving back to perth.

Since my return to my original perth clinic they've doubled my FSH dose that was already the max in Adelaide (ie from 300 puregon to a massive 600!), plus added prednisolone, DHEA AND growth hormone and changed from orgalutran to lucrin for this cycle. so they've brought out the big guns, which was a daunting prospect, and I was given a false sense of confidence that i'd improve my usual low response ... but today is day 8 for my first scan and it was TERRIBLE.

Not only just 2 small folli's on my right, but a 3.1cm blood-filled complex cyst on my left !! I was floored, i've never had a cyst before. I find out in a few hours what is going to happen but I am trying to prepare myself for the inevitability of a cancelled cycle.

Has anyone ever had this happen before - did it lead to cancelled cycle, and did you need surgery to drain the cyst ?

I'm starting to think we've already used our allocated miracle (our now 2 year old son).. who I'm forever grateful for but had hoped for a sibling for him. It's disappointing to be facing the fact we may need to just let things be .. I don't want to put my health at risk with all that drug treatment ... :-(
