Son of a BITCH
The doctor just called. Herself. My estrogen was at 4200… And my eggs are still days away from retrieval. This is bad, very bad. They’re having me do no follistim tonight and go back in tomorrow. They may have me totally coast.
I think I’m on the verge of having this entire fucking cycle cancelled on me for overstimming. How the HELL did this happen when I started on the same dose as last time?
I’m really afraid. Not just on this cycle either. What do you do when even IVF is a giant clusterfuck?
I didn’t think it was possible to hate my body more than I already did. Fuck.
Damn! Nat, I’m sorry, my friend.
Oh, this blows! I’m sorry.
I’m a total newbie in regards to this – but can’t they just take you off the follistim and wait for the eggs to ripen so they can be retrieved from this point on in?
What happens when your estrogen levels rise more? Will they be able to retrieve and, if there are embryo’s, put them back? Or will they have to go to the freezer because your body won’t be able to get pregnant because of the high estrogen levels?
Sorry if I am asking shitty questions … I’m just trying to wrap my head around the process.
this does blow. i can’t believe how well you respond to stims. i guess that is when something good (responding) can be bad (responding too much). i hope coasting does the trick. maybe you can get back to slow and steady. i had to do that with my first cycle and it worked.
I know it is hard to remain calm-i mean I’m one to talk-but hopefully things will be ok. I’m holding your numbers will come down. Every cycle is unique onto itself. If this has happened before for you then I wouldn’t worry at this point until you know more tomorrow. Best of luck.
Shit. I really really hope it doesn’t get canceled. *hugs*
oh wow i will definately keep you in my thoughts…i’m not much of a prayer but i do wish this cycle doesnt get cancelled and that somehow someway they can retreieve those eggs to help you conceive your baby!…Maybe now that your body has went through a pregnancy..maybe just maybe it didnt need so much hormones???? i dont know anything about this but just a thought! i look forward to your updates!
I’m so sorry! I hope the cycle isn’t canceled… (*hugs*)
I’m sorry, Natalie. I haven’t experienced what you’re going through (yet), but can imagine the agonizing frustration of it. Wishing you the best and fingers crossed for you.
Oh my gosh. This sucks. I’m so sorry you are dealing with the stress of this. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this cycle can still be a go.
