were you on synarel or lucrin to start out with, or did you just go straight into the puregon shots??

i had my first two attempts at IUI canelled as the synarel was stopping my body responding properly to the puregon. eventually we changed the type of cycle (i don't use syneral now) and got the required response.

it's heartbreaking when you build yourself up this much to go through a cycle, only to have it stolen away when you don't respond as expected. the first cycle (or two) are experimental to see how your body responds and as much as you want to give up (i've been there many many times), you have to look at this as one type of cycle eliminated, and move forward to the next cycle

allow yourself time to be angry, sad, grieve the opportunity you've missed. then go back to your specialist and don't walk out of his rooms until he offers you a new plan of attack. you've tried plan A, time to try plan B - and you're well within your rights to ask why he thinks plan B will be more successful than plan A!!

my FS has named me his "problem child" - primarily because my PCOS is so severe so my body doesn't respond as he should, but also because i'm not a push over - i don't just accept what he says and do it, i ask why, i ask how this will improve my chances, and i won't let him fob me off! the journey you're going through now is probably one of the hardest of your life. so many unknowns, so much stress, so many hopes and expectations that you have no control over. but you have an amazing amount of support on BB, and those of us that have gone before you to answer your questions!
