IUI cancelled

Posted By	Message
Gertyrae	Sooooo, I went to the doc this morning and apparently the Bravelle worked a little too well. There were so many maturing eggs that they decided to cancel this cycle. They put me on BCP's for two weeks and told me I CAN'T have unprotected sex. There is too high a risk of multiples ... The worst part was that the Dr. told me they aren't sure what they are going to do with the next cycle as they had me on a very low dosage of Bravelle and certainly shouldn't have had this much of a reaction...so I have to go in for a new consult in two weeks to discuss what options I may have. This was just very depressing news and made my day terrible. Not to mention that with all the hormones I have been on, I was crying like a baby for the whole morning...and I am very down about any prospects I may have. Sorry to vent, but I figured you guys are the ones that it's easiest to tell what is going on and how I feel. Thanks for all your support. Posted 7/20/05 12:46 AM
kelly4	At least it worked! Too well, but it did! Hopefully it just means looking for something else that will be better! Good luck! Posted 7/20/05 8:08 AM
Donna	I'm sorry Gerty! Posted 7/20/05 8:32 AM
rose825	That stinks!!! Figures, first you cant get PG, then you might get too PG!!!! AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! I am so sorry that that happened. At least you know you can make the follies!!! It sound like they are monitoring you closely, I hope next month will be better for you. Posted 7/20/05 8:35 AM
LisaW	Aww, I'm so sorry! Posted 7/20/05 8:48 AM
shamrock124	Awww, I'm sorry! Posted 7/20/05 9:06 AM
MrsJ	Oh no, I know its frustrating! That really stinks!! I for one don't understand how our bodies can make not enough of something...and then too much of something. But, I agree, its good news that you can grow follies! Now they just have to regulate your meds! What are the chances of having mutiples? And multiples as in how many? Like having twins? Or like having 8 babies? (I'm sorry I don't know much about this stuff just yet) Posted 7/20/05 9:27 AM
DebG	I am so sorry you had to cancel this cycle. I know it stinks but I am glad your doctors are on it so you don't begin to suffer from OHSS. I am here if you need to vent. Posted 7/20/05 10:38 AM
FeliciaDP	I don't even know what to say Gerty, but I am so sorry about this cycle.. Hopefully next cycle they can come up with the right course of action for you, so that you produce just the right amount of follies ... Posted 7/20/05 10:42 AM
karacg	Gerty, that is a shame you lost out on this month...BUT....it is great news that you are working - albeit in overdrive!! Maybe next month will work better.... Lots of and luck!! Posted 7/20/05 11:28 AM
leighla	I'm so sorry! That stinks! You are a stronger woman than me though - knowing my state of mind lately I think I would still try. But I know that wouldn't be healthy for you or the potential babies! Try to stay positive and hope for better news next month!! Posted 7/20/05 11:31 AM
Susan	I would have bawled too, even if I wasn't on meds. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I hope they regulate your meds just perfectly so that next month will be THE month for you. Posted 7/20/05 11:48 AM

Diane	Im so sorry. Im also taking Bravelle, and they increased my dose, and finding more side effects. The worst are the headaches. Im getting very moody, and DH sees it, and hates the mood swings, and I cant help it. Posted 7/20/05 12:33 PM
Sharon	Oh Gerty! I'm so sorry!. I know how disappointed you must be. Try to stay strong and focus on next month. Posted 7/20/05 4:54 PM
dm24angel	so sorry...I was mentioning this at work even, how sorry I felt that you would have to have it cancelled Posted 7/20/05 7:01 PM
Gertyrae	Posted by kelleherkm Posted by leighla You are a stronger woman than me though - knowing my state of mind lately I think I would still try. But I know that wouldn't be healthy for you or the potential babies! I think I would still try too... Okay...today was much better, it helped that we went to contract on a house! Finally!! As far as trying anyway, they pretty much felt that wasn't an option. Originally, that was my opinion too...just do it anyway. Unless I was willing to "get rid" of any more than two embryo's. And that is something I could never do. First of all, how could I do that after TTC'ing for so long and secondly, I couldn't do it for moral/ethical/religous reasons. By the way, they weren't talking triplets, they are talking quads or quints and the dr. said that the reason they avoid that many is because of the high risk factor for the babies and that the mother is usually put on bed rest for almost the whole nine months. He basically said there are major health reasons why they won't do the IUI whan there are that many eggs. Posted 7/20/05 11:19 PM
