Update: unfortunately today I have been told my cycle is likely cancelled once again 😞
Well ladies I’ve finally got here! After 3 abandoned rounds egg collection should be Monday! My body obviously still wanted to throw me a curve ball so I’ve overstimulated my oestrogen was 9000 and I have about 30 measurable follicles so it will more than likely be a freeze all cycle. I’m totally ok with that just feel so lucky to have finally got to egg collection! All of my nurses were obviously feeling the same as there was lots of cuddles and celebrating this morning after my scan. Im to go for bloods tomorrow just to monitor my oestrogen level and get a time for my buserelin trigger.
I’m obviously no where near home and dry but this is the furthest I’ve gotten along this journey in almost 3 years.
Thank you all for your advice along the way!!
Xx

Ohhhhh I'm so sorry to hear this. Sorry for my insensitive message also! Apologies, I thought you were saying the update to your cycle being cancelled is that you have got there and your egg collection is Monday. Really sorry to hear this.
I know tell me about it!! 😞 I went in today and they scanned me and all my follicles had shrunk by 3-4mm. There wasn’t anyone senior in so I’m waiting for the consultant to come out of theatre to decide if he wants to scan me or if he just wants to call it a day. I’m so upset.
Awww I'm not surprised! It's not even happening to me and I'm gutted for you!! Its not bloody fair sweetheart, what a punch in the stomach.😢 I hope you get some answers. Massive hugs.xxxx
Well it is making me wonder to be honest!! I know ultra sounding scanning is very person dependent but how can they make such a mistake. Let us know how you get on!! Ask if hey can check your bloods again maybe?xx
They’ve taken my bloods this morning and they’ve been sent as urgent, my oestrogen was just over 9000 on Wednesday and 8500 yesterday. The nurse said that my oestrogen shouldn’t have dipped. They halved my medication on Thursday though so i thought they were trying to drop my oestrogen to reduce the risk of OHSS??
Hopefully the bloods will tell the Dr a bit more. What a nightmare for you both!! I would think it makes sense to try not to over stimulate you but have they reduced your meds too much? Defo something to ask about!!xxx
Ugh I’m so sorry. You must be absolutely gutted, it’s such a rollercoaster. I hope you get some answers soon and not all is lost xx
This is so frustrating and must be heartbreaking to get this far again. If your OH is right, it doesn't sound very good on their part that they've got things so wrong. In follicle/egg size terms, 3-4mm is a large discrepancy. Is there any chance of you continuing with stims and being scanned again tomorrow just to make sure someone at your clinic hasn't made a mistake? Sending hugs xx
the doctor has advised that I press on and go for egg collection as this is the closest I’ve come after 4 cycles. I break all the moulds when it comes to responding to Stims it seems. I’m just on my way in to swap my buserilin booster for a HCG one. So I guess we are tentatively back on but I’m now super worried and anxious and it all could still be called off.
I just want to thank everyone for their support and best wishes, honestly it means so much.
Whaaaaaat?!?! Well that’s a positive turn in a day? 👌🏻🤩
Maybe at least worth a try to see could they get some good quality eggs, especially as it’s as close as you’ve got 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh let it be so! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💓💓💓👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Isn’t it such a 🎢!!!! It’s hard to get yourself to sit in first gear and just steer as each hurdle comes because the old heart is away up in 6th gear !
Praying you find a way to breathe and calm your brain . ( if you listen to that Mindfulness IVF app..... Gordon would be telling you to not stress about the stress and focus on your fertile brain and fertile body 🙏🏻🙏🏻💓💓💓💓)
Hopefully you can sleep well tonight and reset your ❣ to go again/get back to your journey in the morning!
Cautiously hoping that THIS time your 🎫 comes up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ha thanks!! I love Gordon from mindful IVF I listen to it every cycle.
I’m trying to de-stress I went a walk this morning to try and clear my head but now I’m worrying that the bloating in my tummy has gone down and all of my eggs will have shrunk further 🙈.
I’m going to listen to the anxiety buster on the mindful IVF app and plan for a shower and an early night before tomorrow. 😬😬
Every time I think one thing is sorted something else goes wrong.
It’s kind of how it goes isn’t it 🤣 but defo try and stop your brain from deciding bad things before you’ve been told them .
Your evening sounds perfect. A nice wee chill with Gordon , sometimes I listen to the 10 meditation stuff, the frozen cycle one, the stress one and then the sleep one as it often takes a
While to get myself calmed down 🥴
Not one second of your worry can impact your outcome positively or negatively so ...... set aside 5
Minutes to worry then ...... breathe and see what happens .
Tomorrow will come no matter what and maybe, just maybe it won’t be as bad as your brain is making you think .
So sorry that you are having such a stressful time. Got everything crossed that you are able to go ahead with egg collection and that you get some eggs this time. Big hugs xxx
Sounds like your a step ahead than on your usual course which is really good news. I know it’s frustrating to have more delays but hopefully you will get some lovely embryos and can go on to have a successful FET.
