Instead of canceling I had to sign a sheet about selective reductions. It was a little scary. I hated the thought of waiting another month but that paperwork was a little intimidating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-ivfers-how-many-cancelled-cycles-did-you-have#post-676492 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:58:37 +0000 Mrs. Polish 676492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 4 cancelled IUIs. Femara wasn't working and the RE wanted to move us on to IVF when we pulled the plug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-ivfers-how-many-cancelled-cycles-did-you-have#post-619631 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:47:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 619631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister just had have her second try at IVF cancelled.... The two cancelled IVFs turned into IUIs, but they didn't take. They had to cancel because she didn't respond well to the medication and only had 1 egg produced so a retrieval didn't make sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-ivfers-how-many-cancelled-cycles-did-you-have#post-619594 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:06:46 +0000 tequiero21 619594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck next cycle! I never had a cancelled cycle.... 3 unsuccessful iuis w clomid. My ivf cycle was almost cancelled due to hyperstimulation, but luckily, it leveled out.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-ivfers-how-many-cancelled-cycles-did-you-have#post-619589 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 06:56:08 +0000 swedishfish 619589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you've had to deal with canceled IUI cycles. I did one unsuccessful IUI cycle and one successful IVF cycle. My IUI cycle would have been canceled if I had more than three follicles ready to ovulate. Luckily I only had two but it still didn't work for us. </p> <p>I hope your enlarged follicle resolves itself so your next IUI is successful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-ivfers-how-many-cancelled-cycles-did-you-have#post-619568 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:54:25 +0000 spaniellove 619568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Different doctors seem to be more prone to canceling cycles, IMO...I haven't had any cycles canceled but really wished my clinic had offered me the chance to cancel my IVF cycle when they noticed a giant cyst! Because I didn't meet their criteria for IVF cancelation they didn't say anything, but it ended up suppressing everything on that side and I only got 5 vs say, 10 eggs, which makes a huge difference. I would have preferred not to pay for that cycle OOP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iui-ivfers-how-many-cancelled-cycles-did-you-have#post-619564 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:31:06 +0000 BSB 619564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My most recent cycle was just cancelled. My day 10 ultrasound found an enlarged follicle. So they want to wait for AF to come to see if the follicle collapses on its own or if it continues to grow. </p> <p>So far, I've had 2 completed IUIs (both unsuccessful) and 2 cancelled IUIs. </p> <p>I'm wondering how common it is to have a cancelled cycles. </p> <p>I have some crappy luck that it's happening about every other cycle. Arghhh!! Based on my trend, there's hope for me next month. ;)</p> <p>This is something new to me that I didn't realize when I started seeing a fertility specialist. I knew IUIs could be unsuccessful but I didn't realize that I could start an med cycle for an IUI and for one reason or another, not go through the IUI. </p> <p>Anyway, maybe we can use this thread to be informed of any other IUI/IVF complications that can result in a cancelled IUI/IVF. Also, it could help me see the complications that could happen if we decide to pursue IVF. </p> <p>My reasons for my two cancelled IUIs:<br /> 1)DH had trouble making his deposit<br /> 2)Enlarged follicle</p> <p>I've heard that they might cancel an IUI/ IVF if you don't respond well on meds or if you have too many follicles. Are there any other reasons?</p> <p>I do realize that this side effect of enlarged follicles might be due to the meds I'm taking (femera &amp; HCG trigger shot). That the Femera allowed the follicle to continue to grow after it was not released. Femera is working for me and I think it's great. No horrible side effects like pain, migraines or nausea. It shortens my cycles from 33 days down to 28-29 days. Yay, a little less waiting. The HCG shot is good for me because when I used OPKs, I was having trouble getting a positive reading. A little part of me thinks it's the medical intervention that's causing some of the side effects. Though, it's a catch 22. If I don't take the meds and trigger shot, the doctor won't be able regulate my cycles and I might not be able to determine exactly when I O... and therefore my IUIs might not be as successful. Guess I just have to be prepared for the possibility of a cancelled IUIs. Cross my fingers and hope it all works out. :) </p>
