My 2 scan showed little improvement, hardly any to the size of my follicles, they have increased my drugs for the weekend but are using words like unfortunately and try again.

I never, never, never imagined that I wouldn't even get to egg collection stage.

I am so desperatley sad. I can't believe this is happening.

Oh hun

I am so sorry there was no improvement in the size of your follicles. Try not to lose too much hope - if I remember rightly, FJL went through a similar situation but had a huge growth spurt in the last couple of days and hopefully the same will happen for you.

I went for my consultation on Thursday as we are starting IVF next cycle, and both the consultant and the practice nurse explained that sometimes the dosage needs to be changed to accommodate late developers (for want of a better phrase). Perhaps this new dosage will make all the difference.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you hun.

I think maz said it all. Don't give up hope!

Sending some and for you. It's hard but don't lose hope.

You can have massive growth spurts. My follicles grew around 4cm per day in the last couple of days.

Are you using a hot water bottle and eating lots of protein? Also keeping your legs elevated most of the time to increase blood flow to the uterus.

Don't give up hope. The increase in your drugs may be that extra boost that your ovaries need.

Hun, I am so sorry I was in the same boat as you 2 months ago and like you, the possibility of cancellation hit me like a ton of bricks. It is absolutely fucking awful. I remember feeling like my body had let me down, and that i'd gone through weeks of injections, hormonal mood swings, nervousness and anticipation, scans and blood tests for absolutely nothing. No words can describe how far your heart sinks and how many tears you cry over not even getting to egg collection, let alone fertilisation and transfer.

What day of FSH shots were you on your last scan and what size were your follies?

I did end up making it to EPU and my follies did have a growth spurt, which was very lucky, but the waiting and not knowing and feeling so truly gutted is something that I will NEVER forget.

IVF is such a traumatic experience and being told that your cycle will probably be cancelled is just the worst feeling.

I'm thinking of you and hoping that your follies do lots of growing

Please PM me or add me to msn if you EVER want to talk. I'm here for you

I'm sorry hun....I hope the follies start growing

Oh Honey, I am so sorry. This is my worst nightmare as Clomid has done nothing for me and the doctors think I have never O'ed. I will be starting the shots if this next cycle of Clomid and Steroids doesn't work. Because I am so worried about this happening to me, I will be praying extra, EXTRA hard for you!

Have you had any more news honey? Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you.

Bxxx

That must be really hard to hear. Fingers crossed something great happens over the weekend. When are you back for another scan?
