Cancelled.

Sigh..Between 12-14 follicles ready to go (some over ready to go). My left side still isn't doing crap. So, the RE cancelled. He wants a better response. The IUI is a no go--because I have too many follicles. I argued, it got me nowhere. I'm going in for the hcg shot on Thursday to get rid of all of these. Then waiting for AF. Then back on the pill. Potential new retrieval at the end of August, though this may not work with my schedule. So, maybe September. Sad, disappointed and frustrated.

    so disappointing. September is right around the corner. I know you didn't have any success arguing about the IUI, but are you tempted to give it a go the old-fashioned way instead? I know I would be. Hugs!!

    Oh s***, I am so frustrated and mad!!! I wanted this so bad for you thirtiesgirl... why does this have to happen?! It makes no freakin' sense to me. I am sorry for venting like this. I just find it so unfair. I really hope that you'll be able to go wih the IVF cycle in September. I also hope that it does not put a strain on your finances or future plans that you might have. I really cross my fingers for you and you are in my thoughts always.
    Big Hug!

    I'm sorry hon. That sucks donkeybum. I can't believe thats not enough follies for this.

    Has your doctor banned you from ttc after trigger and before af? I really don't know if its a really bad thing to think about, probably is. Read on another blog from a few years ago about someone who went through this too

    Here's hoping September is the right time for you both

    That stinks! I am so sorry. Retail therapy perhaps, go buy yourself something great... no one deserves infertility hell : (

    Oh nooooo! I can't believe it, I'm so sorry. Too few for IVF, too much for IUI? It doesn't seem to make sense. I think a better doctor would try to salvage something from this cycle. For example, he could drop you to a low dose of stims and coast for several days, then check out your follie count. I think I would be tempted to try the old fashioned way too :(

    I hope that you are able to give it another go in September. Hopefully your doctor has figured you out and has a better plan.

    I'm so very sorry your cycle got cancelled. It sounds like you had a variety of sizes rather than a cohort, so I understand why they'd want to cancel under those circumstances. I hope the next go-round is more successful at avoiding dominant follicles as well as increasing overall yield.

    As for the timed-intercourse approach -- someone told me that Jon and Kate Plus 8 had a similar situation: they had too many follicles for their doctor to feel comfortable with an IUI, and they had TI at home in disregard of their doctor's advice, and then they had sextuplets. So, I would proceed very, very, very carefully (e.g. probably not at all) and follow the advice of your doctor.

    Thanks everyone! You've helped raise my spirits. As much as we are very, very tempted to try on our own--we won't. I want to get an ivf cycle under my belt to see if there are any good eggs in there. If not, we'll move onto donor egg.
    @Stacy--love the idea of retail therapy. This weekend is N.ordstrom's sale I believe. Perfect timing.
    @chickenpig--I agree--Mr F and I are not impressed with our RE. I'm stuck with this clinic for now though. We have very limited options where I'm at..and they've already got our prepayment.
    @Stinky--Yes. Banned. We have to wait until later this week for trigger because we had s.ex too recently.
