I started my current round of IVF 8 days ago and today it was cancelled.
I have had absolutely no response to the Gonal f – was on 450iui – I am really shocked that nothing happened, nothing at all.
The real kick in the guts is that my FS suspects ovarian failure and is predicting menopause by the time I reach early 40’s. I am 38 now. This has been devastating news. I don’t think I truly realised how much I want this next baby until the chance was taken away.
This cancelled cycle is being changed to a FET to give my one lonely frozen embryo a chance. I have one week to grow a lining (on Progynova 4 times daily) Dr is not hopeful and he doesn’t give the embryo (a Day 3-er) much of a chance at surviving the thaw. I will try to not pin all of my hopes on this but I am glad that this little one is getting a chance.
We will review my situation after this. Dr has seen some success in “under-responders” with the use of Puregon/Follistim 600iui plus Luveris. This combination is supposed to increase quality and quantity, I don’t know anything about it yet. Will have to do some research.
I thank the universe for my miracle girl and now I wait.

I’m so sorry to hear this news, Sharon. It must have been such a shock after going through all the preparation and daily injections.
I was just thinking of you today and wondering how you were doing. I’m glad you checked in.

I’m so very sorry. I know from first hand experience how difficult a cancelled cycle can be.
I hope that the FET may yet bring you good news.
