Update , cancelled cycle

[Rol81]

Ok so today was my final scan and I was hoping to be doing the trigger tonight.

They told me the max eggs that could be retrieved would be 5 but they could see already that 3 of them were too mature (i.e not good quality) The other two were a little under.

On top of that today ... I was randomly officially diagnosed with endometriosis!! I have a large polyp I didn’t know about that needs to be removed. I had mentioned my periods and pain etc so many times before this but it was always just dismissed . So it’s a bit annoying .

Anyways.... the doctor strongly advised me based on the low number and quality of follicle /eggs , and my response in general so far to cancel the cycle . That given my age etc to give me the best possible chance I should not go ahead with egg collection.

I came home discussed with my husband and we decided to cancel given the stats. It was really hard to come to but I will get the polyp removed , have a couple of months off and start again hopefully April / May.

Aww, Rol I'm so gutted for you. Any changes in the plan are sh*tty and really rough emotionally.

Take as much time as you need to let things sink in. I hope you can enjoy some of your favourite treat foods or if you're partial to a glass of red wine or champers then now's the time. Lots of self care and prioritising your own needs. You know my inbox is open like before if you want to P.M me or update once you get going again. Take care xx

LizzieBW , thank you so much. Feel a bit numb, I just hope I’ve made the right decision and that we can try again in April 🤞Dont worry I didn’t even make home from the hospital without stuffing myself with chocolate 🙌🤭

So sorry to hear, cancelled cycles are so hard. But it sounds like in a strange way knowing about the polyp now and the endo, that maybe your chances will be stronger in April/ May.Doesnt make it any better right now though. xx

Ah thanks. That’s exactly how I feel, if there wasn’t the polyps or endo I would have gone ahead. Just hope I can start again soon and like you said have a better result 🙌❤️

Given you have taken all the drugs I would monitor ovulation and have as much sex as possible to try natural conception x

Oh no, I'm so sorry 😔 You must be so disappointed. At least they have noticed the issues (finally!!) and you can go into it in April with a better chance of success. I'm thinking of you though, that really sucks xx
