Question Will my IVF cycle get canceled?

Hi my name is Gabrielle I've been reading for a long time and really am in need of advice. I have Pcos and am a poor responder to meds. I am in a cycle of IVF now on day 8. My question is on day 6 my E2 was 70 with 5 follies on each side around 8-10mm. They upped my meds. Today is day 8 and I still have 5 follies on each side all around 10mm I don't have my E2 back yet and the clinic said they would problebly up my meds. Do you think my cycle is a bust? I would love to hear any uplifting stories.

I am sorry! Have a talk with your RE to review the options for meds and treatment that fit you better. IVF is a course of learning, almost trial and error. It is hard but I am sure next it will be better!

I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Hopefully, this cycle will work out. If not, please don't give up hope. Often, a change in protocol, change in RE, or both will make a huge difference in the success or failure of a cycle.

I've been in your same boat. I am also a very poor responder. I've been slow to grow before with my first IVF. I didn't have ER until day 16 so sometimes it just takes a little longer. My 2nd IVf was cancelled because I quit responding with about 10 follicles between sizes 12-15. We converted to IUI, but it didn't work because they weren't quite mature yet. I've been on straight follistim and follistim/menopur combination. I don't think one really works better than the other for me. I wish I could say something positive about being a poor responder but I have been told by my RE my chances of even making mature follicles are low. If I ever do another IVF we are using a donor. I can't put myself through the roller coaster of not responding. Good luck and I hope your E2 went up!

I was also a very slow responder. On day 3 of stims my E2 was 40 . So on day 5 I got E2 153 - I was sure I am getting canceled since I read on the internet that these were low numbers. By retrieval day I was around 1500 with 9 follicles. Don't give up hope, it takes only one good egg to make a baby.
I am now prengnant, waitting for my 1st ultrasound.
Beta#1 - 85
Beta#2 - 200

Stay positive!
