After going to the RE's every day since Thursday, the doctor decided to cancel the cycle. I have 11 measurable follicles; 2 over 15, and 2 over 14. The rest are all around 12, plus my E2 was around 750. I tried to convince them otherwise, but they don't want to take the chance that I get PG with quads. When the nurse called and told me yesterday I started crying on the phone. Felt like an ass, especially since I knew it was a possibility they would cancel.
The nurse said it wasn't a wasted cycle, since now they know how my body responds to the meds. Still, it makes me feel like the past 3 weeks of injections and worry and waiting were all for nothing. Yes, there's a possibility I could get pregnant with 4 babies, but there's also the chance I won't get pregnant at all. How do we know unless we try?
I met a friend of mine for lunch and retail therapy yesterday afternoon (couldn't have come at a better time!), and I told her it's like I've been benched without even getting to try out for the team.
On the brightside, I guess this means that now I can drink when we go to Orlan*do next week. I told Hubby to prop me up next to the pool bar and I'll be fine.

Oh no, I'm sorry you've been benched, that sucks. I hope you have a nice time in Orlando though, enjoy those cocktails, you deserve them. x
I'm so, so, sorry...I'm mentally preparing myself for the exact same outcome. I'm thinking I'll console my cancelled-cycle self by trying to feel grateful that my ovaries actually produced some measurable follicles, as they haven't done anything to prove their worth in a looong time, as far as I know. And I guess it's better to cancel after 3 weeks, than say, 13. I've heard of PCOSers going 90 days on daily injections before canceling or triggering. UGH! Fuckin' PCOS man, gotta love it. Hang in there, and enjoy those cocktails while you can, sister...

I'm sorry you got benched. Take it as a "tactical retreat" or a much deserved TTC break. Have fun and keep the cocktails coming!
