Multiple IVF cycles cancelled at baseline?

Multiple IVF cycles cancelled at baseline

Has anyone else had this experience please?

I had one unsuccessful IUI (which they wanted to cancel as at day 18 they decided I wasn't going to ovulate this cycle, but eventually they agreed to keep going and I triggered and was inseminated in day 21).

I've then had three IVF cycles cancelled at or close to baseline, for a variety of reasons - lining too thick, lining too thin, oestrogen too high, follicle too big. Been on norithisterone to regulate my cycles, progynova and then 21 days of microgynon to down regulate, all of which didn't work.

Waiting to see if they'll treat me next cycle. They say that my body isn't coordinating my cycles properly - my follicles and lining are out of sync with each other and also out of sync with my oestrogen levels.

Not met anyone else who has cycles repeatedly cancelled like this - any experiences would be interesting. Thanks.

How thick are you talking with your lining? Also I feel your frustration with your body. I feel they just havnt found the right meds and dosages and timing for your body to work in sync with each other. This journey is so hard..I hope you find what works for your body and everything runs smoothly.

Following, as I am in the same position with my first cycle. What worked in the end, may I ask?

Following, as I am in the same position with my first cycle. What worked in the end, may I ask?

In the end, after 3 cancelled cycles, I essentially made a complaint to the clinic and asked the clinic to give me a different doctor with more experience with someone with irregular and poorly coordinated cycles.

On my fourth cycle the new doctor didn't do any blood tests, ignored the large follicle/cyst on the scan and ignored my lining thickness and just started my cycle. I went all the way through that cycle and any issues were ignored. I didn't feel well but went with it and got myself signed off work for two weeks.

The egg retrieval was completed and I am now 20 weeks pregnant.

Who knows if it was the right medical decision, but it worked.

Good luck and I hope yours goes okay.
