cancelled cycles

[lauren3189]

Hello,

has anyone had any cycles cancelled before egg collection. Would this be classed as 1 cycle, or if its before egg collection would this not be classed. Just thinking in terms of funding x

Hi Lauren, so sorry to hear this. Its probably best to check with your clinic xx

Thank you, nothing has happened yet but just need to know

I have a group session next week where we see a dr would they know? xx

[bluewanderlust in reply to lauren3189]

Hi yes I would have thought so, are you self funding?xx

[lauren3189 in reply to bluewanderlust]

no we have 2 nhs cycles but only 1 fresh so wondered how this would work. I am panicking about the follicle situation now so wanted to check my options xx

[bluewanderlust]

Hi

I am really not sure but it sounds like it might not count towards a cycle if there is no egg collection. Perhaps they can adjust your meds during stims to get more follies xx Did they explain exactly why the cycle was stopped?xxx

[lauren3189 in reply to bluewanderlust]

sorry i probably haven't explained very well. We had our consultation yesterday and they have already said i have a low number of follicles. When i have read up on this a few people have had their cycles cancelled. Just wanted to check what would happen from there. I guess meds can be adjusted xx

[bluewanderlust]

Oh sorry do you mean you have had your consultation and not actually started your round of IVF at all due to the scan of follies?xx

[bluewanderlust]

Ahh I think you mean you are worried about what might happen if you during stimms you had 4 follies and would your cycle be cancelled yes?xx

[lauren3189 in reply to bluewanderlust]

Yes that's what i meant xx

[bluewanderlust]

Bless, its too early for my brain!! Well I am afraid I am not 100% sure, however I have seen lots of ladies on here going ahead with 4 follies, so I would hope it would continue providing they can get them to grow during stims xx

Thank you wish i could find these stories too xx

Hi, I had only 3 follies. After EC I had only two eggs and only 1 was fertilized. I am currently waiting the 2weeks to test...my clinic all the time said that is not the quantity but the quality that matters. Good luck for you 🤞🏻...

I live abroad so the rules here are not the NHS, but here they count a cycle as one where egg/s were collected and at least one embryo was good enough to be placed back. My first cycle I had 9 eggs collected but none turned to a viable embryo to transfer so that cycle didn't count.

What I also learned from this is that you're better off with quality eggs than quantity, so don't despair! All the best

Thank you so much for your reply x

I had a cancelled cycle before egg collection and it didn't count as one of our cycles with Access. However it wasn't a NHS cycle.

Hope that's helps. Xx

[lauren3189 in reply to Kloulou83]

Thank you

So did they continue with another cycle?

How are you with your journey? xx

[Kloulou83 in reply to lauren3189]

I started another cycle in June but my cancelled cycle was at down regulation. I'm now in my 2WW and slowly going insane 🙈🙈🙄 xx

I had canceled nhs cycle before egg collection, I only had 3 follicles and my clinic like 3 or more , they said it was up to us we canceled and it didn't count as one of my nhs rounds. Things seem to be different in different areas though.

I know it's easier said than done but try not to panic about it too much.

Good luck xx

I had first cycle cancelled due to low number of small folicles and it didn't use our free go. They tweaked my drugs before the next round which helped a lot xx

[lauren3189 in reply to Hormomalmess]

thanks that's good to hear. How has that cycle gone for you? xx
