Over before transfer

[Pinksunshine39]

Today I turned 41 years old. Instead of celebrating I have been sat at the hospital having my first DE cycle cancelled because I am bleeding on progynova. I feel so sad 😞.

I don’t think this medication agrees with me. I’ve had it before for a FET and I had some bleeding then too and I down regulated for that cycle. I feel like a natural cycle might be the way to go next.

They tell me I don’t ovulate every month but as I have regular periods I could try this.

It’s so hard to get mentally and physically ready for it all to be snatched away at the last minute. I have a follow up phone call tomorrow, any ideas on what I could ask? Sending love and luck to you all xxx

Hi Pinksunshine,I didn't want to read and run. Sorry to hear you've had your cycle cancelled. I can't really comment on the bleeding on progynova. I do know how you feel about having something in reach and then snatched away. After 2 unsuccessful ivf cycles with my own eggs, we have now started donor egg ivf. We found a lovely donor, and it was all going well, she had plenty of follicles. We were waiting for the call to tell us about egg collection date but unfortunately we had a phone call instead to let us know that the cycle has to be cancelled as the donor had developed thyroid issues so frustrating and disheartening.....

I hope they can give you an answer and maybe alternative medication? Fingers crossed 🤞 for you xx

Thank you for your kind reply, I’m sorry about your donor, it’s so hard to get so close! I hope you things get sorted out for you 🤞xx

Hi Pinksunshine. Not what you want to be happening I'm sure, but they need to get you regulated properly before going ahead with the transfer. Your specialist will be able to fine-tune you differently I'm sure. Thinking of you. Diane
