Stims Day 11: The Verge of Cancellation

Yesterdays's ultrasound showed 8 follicles. 5 follicles on the right and another three on the left. All were about 10mm, but on the left it would appear that there's a dominant follicle of about 18mm in size.

Dr. S said to continue on with meds til tomorrow morning and they'd take another look. As he said, chances are that the dominant follicle will just continue to grow and hog up the follitropin. Great. Waste 900iu of Gonal F, 300iu of menopur, so we can see if the inevitable is going to happen.

No, they won't drain it. I don't really know why that is but it sucks. I've used every last bit of follitropin that I have for this cycle. If we have to cycle again I'll be starting from scratch on my meds. Back to FGS to scrounge up some more deals.

Dr. S said we have a 60% chance of cancellation as of yesterday. Not great odds. My understanding is that follicles grow about 2mm a day. So if they're all at 14 or 15mm tomorrow maybe, just maybe, we'll get to retrieval.

I don't have a lot of hope for this cycle. This is our 3rd cycle in a row that has gone to hell in a handbasket due to a cyst forming.

All I know is that last year when I was totally hardcore about my diet and vitamins, I didn't have these issues at all. I guess I'm going to have to try reverting back to my old methods to see if it can help pull us through this onslaught of fucked up cycles.
