Well ...
You know what's coming don't you? This cycle started ok. There were four follicules, not a lot admittedly but at least a starting point. I did the injections etc. etc. and at my first scan what do they spot? A dominant monster follicule. So, this cycle is officially cancelled.
I keep on telling myself it could be worse. It was a risk with a the protocol I was following, that there would be a dominant follicule. At least I responded. At least there were follicules. At least it wasn't cancelled because of lack of follicules. Still, I am pretty pissed off, which I suppose is also better than being weepy. Anyway. So, I have cancelled the hotel, changed my ticket and the good thing is I fly back to H tomorrow. Also I have done some fun things this week and I always like travelling so it's not like it is all bad.
Have to hang on to that thought.
Shit, I'm sorry, sweetie.

I'm not really sure why a dominant follicle is a bad thing but I'm sorry the cycle is over. Onwards and upwards I guess.

I came over after reading about your cancelled cycle on Lost & Found. I'm so sorry - I've been there myself and know how much it sucks.

I can fully understand why anger is the lead emotion here. I'm mad for you. Hope you had a safe trip home to H.

I came over from Lost and Found.
I'm sorry about your cancelled cycle.
I just had what was to be my first IVF cycle converted into an IUI about a week ago. Not being able to go through with the IVF completely sucked! I had three dominant follicles and 11 under 10mm. The RE says that it just "happens". Is that how they explained it to you? I still don't get it.
Better luck next cycle. :)

Ouch.

It's hard to scratch out something to look forward to after disappointments, and I'm glad that you can right now.
Anger? I'm mad right with you.

I'm so sorry your cycle got canceled. Here's to hoping for a slower response next cycle.

I'm just coming over from NaComLeavMo.
I'm sorry to hear that your cycle got cancelled. It sucks, and is totally unfair.

I know how much this sucks. I just came off of a cancelled cycle the week before ER. I'm sorry that this happened to you.

I just wanted to stop in to see how you were doing. (((HUGS)))

Over from nacom, why did they cancel because of the dominant follicle? I thought big follicles were a good thing? I'm just starting on all this treatment stuff so I am a noob.

Durn! So sorry.Canceled cycles were so hard for me, I having to gear up emotionally all over again! Hope things go as planned next time! NCLM

I came here via NaComLeavMo and i'm so sorry about your follicle.
I had a cycle cancelled in December and was told to totally give up so I know how gutting it is.
It does get better and there IS always hope so hang on in there.

being cancelled in a cycle is such an awful experience, all that hope, everything it takes to work up to do a cycle, so sorry to read about it.
i hope it gets better.
