ANOTHER ABANDONED CYCLE

Deb T · Post by **Deb T** » Tue May 06, 2003 10:08 am

Hi All, Feeling sorry for myself so I thought i'd have a thread for me also. My cycle got abandoned yesterday for lack of follies. The last time I had ohss and produced too many follies this time I think they were too cautions and started me on a really low dose and had the opposite effect. The strange thing is at the start I had seventeen follies but only two grew they upped the dose but it was too late. The nurses even seemed a bit baffled. I have to wait three months before I can go again, I have a couple of holidays booked during that time so hopefully that'll make the time go a bit quicker. Just thought i'd let you know how I got on. Love from a sad and frustrated Deb T xxx

Hi Deb I am new to all this but am sorry that they abandoned your cycle. It must be so frustrating to get so far and then have to stop. I will start IVF next month and have been warned that I may be a poor responder as have had high FSH in past. I hope your holidays help take your mind of things. Pamper yourself and your hubbie and try not to think about things too much. I don't know your history - is there any chance you could still conceive naturally? Best of luck Helen

Hi Helen, Nice to have you on the site. I have severe endo, I've only one fallopian tube but the other one is fine, they did think there was fluid in it last week but now they think it was just a follicle. I have a less than 5% chance of concieving naturally, each month goes by I still hope for a miracle but that hope does get less amd less as time goes by. I've been trying to concieve(TTC) for nearly 4 years. What's your history? Deb x

Hi again Deb I am sorry to hear about the endometriosis. My specialist thinks that I may have this too, although not so severe and has me scheduled for a laperoscopy later in the year to investigate. However, as I have been ttc for 3 years and am now 38 she has recommended us to go straight to IVF even before the lap is done as IVF would be her recommended treatment for endometriosis anyway. I also have an issue with my FSH levels. When they were first tested the result was high (20) but this was after several cycles on Clomid and the sudden death of my father and various other medical investigations which all could have had an effect on things. The next 2 test results were 11.2 and 9 and I have therefore been given the chance to try IVF as long as FSH stays down. I too hope that every month IT might just happen and I'll get pg naturally. I have a 10 year old son by a previous marriage but my 2nd DH has no children and we would dearly love one together. I had trouble conceiving my son, although I did eventually on Clomid. I am regreting taking so long to go to my GP this time...I feel we have wasted so many months and may have missed the boat altogether. We are self-funding so I think we will be limited financially as to what we will/can do. Where are you being treated? Bye for now Helen

Hi Helen, I know what you mean about feeling like sometimes we've miseed the boat, I sometimes think if only we'd started trying for a baby as soon as we got married maybe my endo wouldn't have gotten so bad and i would have been able to conceive naturally, but i guess life is full of 'if only's'. That's good news that your FSH level has come down and your now on the ivf route. The positve thing with you is that you've shown you can get and hold a pregnancy, so I would think your in with a good chance. I'm being treated in Aberdeen, everyone else seems to be down south so I feel a bit out of it up here. Then again distance isn't a problem when your on the site. Love Deb x

Hiya Deb Was thinking about you yesterday, i knew you were having your scan yesterday, i kept checking to see if you had posted a thread and if you hadn't i was going to put one on today to see how you got on,i've just come home from work and seen you beat me to it. When i was at the hospital yesterday there was somebody called debbie and i wondered if it might be you but after reading your thread i realised you're in aberdeen, i'm at st mary's in manchester, so it can't have been you! I don't know about you but i feel a bit better today, haven't cried but i think i know it's cos we can try again in a few weeks. I think that's one of the good things about iui, you don't have to wait the three months for the drugs to get out of your system. I hope they can get the drugs sorted for next time. Where are you going on your holidays anywhere nice?? Take care of yourself and hope to speak to you soon jackie
