Third cycle cancelled prior to egg collection

[EmGLA]

Well unfortunately the title says it all.

At my scan today (which is day 18 of stims) my follicles hadn’t really grown since Monday. So the nurse has told me that the cycle will probably be cancelled, unfortunately there wasn’t a doctor available to officially tell me it was officially cancelled. I’m to get a phonecall this afternoon to say if I’ve to bother continuing with injections and an appointment with the doctor on Friday either for a scan (if I’ve to continue injecting) or for a meeting about what we’re doing for future treatments. To say we’re gutted is an understatement. This is the third time my IVF cycle has been cancelled, I’m starting to worry that i’ll never get to egg collection.

Thank you to everyone who sent me luck and good wishes. Hopefully next time will be our time.

Hi EmGLA. Not what you want to hear at all. By now they will have come to a decision as to whether to carry on or abandon this cycle. Might be time to discuss different protocols. Thinking of you. Diane

Thanks Diane. I got the call that it has been cancelled. I was on a different protocol (different meds) this time. I’ll have to see what the suggest.

Oh no I’m so sorry Em. Must be absolutely devastating to go through all of that for it to be cancelled again. Sending you massive hugs lovely xxx

Thanks for your message. It’s been a bit of a nightmare so disappointing and disheartening.

I've two cancelled, and one that didn't really even begin so I know exactly how you feel. There's a lot of effort and emotion (and money!!!) that goes into every attempt. Go outside and have a big scream if you can!!!! gutted doesn't really cover it does it ;-(
