I had my midcycle ultrasound today to see if things looked good for our IUI tomorrow (Friday). If it did then I would do my HCG shot tonight and be all set. But I guess the two ovary girls had other plans for me. You see...the two ovary girls decided that they were not going to respond to clomid this month even though this was the dose that I always respond with good follicles to in the past. Not only did I not have a mature follicle on my left ovary (the ovary that has a fallopian tube)...I didn't have any even near mature follicles period. They weren't even close to being mature if we waited a few more days. So needless to say I was pretty bummed. I meet with my RE in a week for routine check in...so I'll talk about what we should do next. Not sure if we'll try to up the clomid even more, and try again...or just go to IVF like we had previously discussed. To be half way through a cycle and have to stop...it seems like such a waste, but I guess we don't have any other choice. When I read of people's IVF cycles being cancelled...that must be even harder....that would totally be a bummer.
I just got off of work a little while ago. It was my longer 16hr day for the week, and for once I was so glad to be there the whole time. As bummed as I felt when I left the RE's office this morning...we were so busy with a lot of cases that I didn't have any time to focus on feeling bummed. Sometimes work can be a good thing! I also treated myself to some late night fast food on the way home, which is something I rarely ever do. So I think I'm actually in a better mindset then I thought I would be. Well, now I'm excited to meet with the RE next week to see where we go from here. I always like having and knowing the plan!

I'm sorry. That sucks.
I'm so sorry! If it brings you any comfort at all, the same thing happened to me on my third IUI. (It continues to amaze me how similar our journeys have been!) I had responded beautifully to Femara (like Clomid) two times. My 2nd IUI even occurring on cd 12! Then, when I went in for my midcycle check for the third IUI on the exact same dosage, I had one follicle on each side measuring 1.1 each. The RE said, "classic variability."We ended up juicing them up with Follistim because he thought they would grow and didn't think I needed to cancel.
I know it's so disappointing to have to abort the plan halfway through, believe me, I know! Stay strong and know that one way or another you WILL be a mom one day.
Hugs!
Im sorry it was canceled...hope you can find some fun stuff to take your mind off of it this weekend--sounds like you are keeping your spirits up!
