I knew it. I knew this was going to happen to me. They cancelled my cycle.
They called me yesterday to tell me that my estrogen was kinda high, so they wanted me to come in today too. So I go in today and I have like 30 follies. No Joke. Like 20 on my right and 10 on my left. WTH!!
This is the new RE mind you. And I think he is a flake! So after he measured what seemed to be the same follies 3 times over, then tells me that I have 2 options. I can either cancel my cycle, or do IVF. So of course I said I want to do IVF. He responds with..."Well, I don't know, I don't know how we would move you to IVF from here." Are you kidding me!! Then why did you just give me that option???? Then I asked him if my hubs and I could at least try naturally (no IUI's) he shook his head no.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that when they called me yesterday they told me to take another shot, but of 50mg instead of 75mg. Not for nothing, but if I responded well from the first 4 shots why give me more?!?!?!?! So I asked Dr. Flake about that and he said that it was to make the large follies bigger and the smaller ones to die out. I have never heard of that before!!! How is a follicle producing medication going to kill follies??? That just doesn't make any sense to me. I know I am not a doctor, but that would just be common sense no? Correct me if I am wrong.
By this point he is pissing me off and I just want to get the heck out of there. On the verge of tears. But I asked about IVF one more time. I wanted to know if I should call my financial advisor to see if I was covered for IVF, he looks at my charts and tells me that I am covered. Then a minute later says...well you need to call her anyways...I am a mess today.

Oh Wow-30 follies?!?
ReplyDelete(((((((HUGS))))))) I don't know why your dr. would give you those options if he didn't know how to move you on. I am so sorry. How frustrating. I would have told him to figure it out!!
(((((HUGS)))))
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Ashley! That's not fair to do all the shots just to get cxld. Is there a diff RE you could see? The stress of not liking/trusting this one can't be good for you.
DO NOT bd w/o protection! Honestly. I know it's frustrating to wait & to have a C cxld, but you are at major risk for HOM. I would not want to see you faced with the decision of selective reduction after dealing w/IF & everything it brings with it.
(((((MORE HUGE HUGS)))))
I'm sorry. ((((HUGS))))
ReplyDeleteDang! 30 follies?? Yikes! That sucks that you have to cancel after everything you have been through already! Sounds to me like maybe it's time to start looking around for a new RE?
ReplyDeleteAww sweetie, I'm so sorry....
ReplyDeleteBut on the plus side....you stim well to the injects. What was the initial dosage he put you on? What CD did you start on?? It seems strange to me that you have that many follies. on my first inject C, my RE started me on 37.5ius of Follistim starting on CD7, i responded well with 3 follies. I've heard of the RE's starting higher and lowering the dosage to slow down the development of the follies, that isn't unheard of.
I'm very sorry that you were cancelled. Look on the bright side, next C I'll be stimming w/injects/IUI combo!!! So you won't be alone!
(((((HUGS)))))))
Oh gosh I am so sorry!!! I don't even know what to say, except that sucks! And that doctor sucks too! I'd definitely be shopping around for a new one, and writing a letter telling his office exactly how I felt too. Again, I'm sorry you're having to go through all this crap :(
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry. This stinks! (Hugs)
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm sorry you got cancelled. That sucks big time. Me and Misty are with you though, next cycle is injects with IUIx2! You're not alone in this. I hope you get an RE that isn't a complete moron!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear what you have been through. I know how disappointing it is. I am thinking of you.
