Delayed Again

I feel like every post of mine for the couple of months has included the words delayed or cancelled. Because Mr. F and I have decided we are not going to let this rule our lives....we have been busy planning trips and vacations for the fall. Of course, ivf was supposed to be done twice by now so little did we know these trips would affect what is still our first shot at ivf. Sigh... Well, my body has decided not to cooperate and ovulate when it's supposed to and has now delayed the October cycle. We are looking at November now. I'm starting to feel like this just might not be in the cards for us. It's just been one thing after another. All I can think about is all these months we've wasted on treatments. Maybe, if we hadn't went this route, we would already be pregnant naturally. Instead I've been in a constant loop of various hormones and bcps. All of which have done nothing for me but make me gain so much weight I look like a small whale. I guess there's really nothing I can do at this point except wait. Wait for the next AF to start a new cycle tracking and then wait for the AF after that to hopefully start an ivf cycle in which my body will actually cooperate. Hopefully this will all be done before the holiday season so that my life can get back to some semblance of normal.

  2. OMG I totally know how you feel. I had so many cancelled cycles and it is super frustrating. Your body will decide to jump on board with your plans sooner than later and then it will take off for you. It sucks waiting but it will happen.

  3. I often wonder the same thing - if we would have/could have conceived a child without an UBT in the time we have been waiting and processing (Ok, only a year!).
    Its the 64billion dollar question - is it worth it, and are we doing the 'right' thing?

    Good on you having the holidays, and hang in there, hon

  4. I hate being delayed. This whole long donor egg IVF cycle for me has been one big delay after another. UGH! I understand feeling like the world is telling you to take another path. I sometimes feel the same way. I've only had 2 chances to be pregnant this whole YEAR... 2! Can you believe it? With my last IVF cycle and being on meds for this DE cycle, only 2 changes. Crap. I'll keep waiting here with you. And yes, IVF meds are evil for weight gain. Big hugs.

  5. I am so sorry that things keep getting delayed. It is so frustrating to have no control. I hope you have the patience to hang in there until you can try IVF again!
