Clinic abandoned my IUI cycle as too many follicles ☹️

Could it be converted to an ivf cycle?

Ask? How many follicles?

Hi Mandy.
This happened to me back in December, my IUI cycle was cancelled as I had 3 medium sized follicles rather than the standard giant one as they'd expected. I was most definitely over-medicated. I felt the same as you did, like I'd been robbed as they took our money and the refund was pitiful. However... we had angry sex anyway and I am now 13 weeks pregnant. Might be worth taking your chances anyway but you'll need to consider how you would feel about multiples since you have 6 follicles?

The multiples was a worry and I'm not going to be all blase and deny it! However like you we would like more than one child and after infertility I'm not sure that the idea of more than one in one go is such a bad thing! I also reasoned that after trying for so long and no fertilization/implantation - it would be a bit mad for 3 to fertilize and implant together!
Totally sympathize with feeling helpless and like people that seem to have no clue have such control over something so important to you, I had all those feelings too, it was the run-up to Christmas and I was just so angry. Those feelings are justified and they should have warned you that this was a potential outcome? I'm assuming they didn't? I hope you manage to salvage something out of this - but definitely don't be afraid to just throw caution to the wind and have a shag!

Hi! I know this post is old, but wondering what happened florafoxtrot?
We’ve just had out Iui cancelled a few daw before insemination as my partner tested positive for covid. He has no symptoms and weve been super careful, so very sure he doesn’t have it. He’s since had another neg test result!
Anyway, they won’t treat us now and we’re isolating. We had two follicles on the first scan, but have had no scans for 4 days now. They’ve told us to stop the medication, but I’m still taking it we think we’re just going to try naturally this week. It’s such a stange and sad situation, and I can’t find anyone else in the same one, but we figure out only risk is falling pregnant?!?

Hello! I’m still around! Unsuccessfully TTC for number 2 but what happened to me after the abandoned cycle was that I now have a 2.5 year old. Obviously my situation was a bit different but I’m so sorry you’ve found yourself where you are, it’s really bloody hard going and I can’t imagine how frustrated you are. As I understood it at the time, the reason they cancelled our treatment was because of a risk of multiples and I was a lot more blasé about that at the time than I am now on reflection but still... I stand by my comment above that after a long time of infertility I would have been shocked if suddenly more than 1 (or 2!) eggs were successfully fertilised and implanted. Did your clinic offer you any more advice?

Thanks for your reply, and that’s amazing! So pleased for you. They told us to stop the meds and abstain from sex for 2 weeks, for risk of multiples, as they can’t track what’s going on. I’ve calmed down a bit now, but with the covid and drugs I was on it was all a bit much yesterday.
I’ve stopped the meds, but we’ll probably give it a sneaky go anyway 😉

All fingers and toes are crossed for you. Hopefully the meds you’ve had should give you a bit of a boost. It’s a really rough time so look after yourselves.

Thanks. This would also be our no 2. At this stage amazed we were lucky enough to have our son who’s just turned 3.
Good luck to you too. I hope it works out for you
