Last friday I went for a scan & draw appt to see where we were at with this IVF cycle, my hubby had the day off so he went with me. Well the nurse had a hard time identifying the separate follicles. And turned out that they weren't enough follies and they weren't growing like they were supposed to be at this point. The nurse asked me if I had gotten the message on wednesday to lower the lupron from 10 to 5. This was a surprise to me, they called my cell phone and sure enough I had the message on their but my phone doesn't beep to tell me that there's a message. Very frustrating. So she said she'd discuss with the doc about what to do but that her suggestion would be to convert from an IVF to an injectables IUI cycle.
I was surprised because I was thinking all along that my body would respond well to the medication. We left the docs and as soon as we were in the car my hubby turned into Mr. Cheerleader. He just knew without my saying anything to him that I needed the pep talk. He started saying how this was good at least we were wasting our 2 chances at IVF on a bad cycle. And know the doctor knew how I responded to the medication so next time it would be better. At that point it reinforced why I loved him so much. I was so glad that he happened to come to this appt with me.
That afternoon I got a call from the nurse and the doctor suggested to convert the cycle or cancel it altogether. We decided to convert, why waste all the stabbings for nothing.
