IUI or Bust
Yesterday we were officially advised to either cancel our IVF cycle or convert it to IUI. The u/s showed that we had only 1 follicle at 18.7, 1 at 14.4, 1 at 12.1 and the rest were all smaller than 9. Since I still have my left tube (right removed during lap in Aug. 05), and the two larger follicles are on the left ovary, we were advised to go for the IUI. I know both David and I were tempted to just cancel outright since I have tubal problems and endo but I guess we have nothing to lose. The IUI is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Thanks for all of your comments. I know we are not ready to throw in the towel yet, but it's hard to see the light when you are so deep in the tunnel.

Oh, Chee Chee. I'm sorry; I know that's not what you were hoping to hear. I wish you the best with the IUI and hope that you will see light at the end of the tunnel soon.
Oh, Chee, I'm sorry.
Oh Chee, I am so sorry, I know this is not what you were hoping for. I am so sad, I am having a hard time typing. You will get thru this, I know it seems really hard right now, but you will. Hang in there.
Hugs...
Good luck with the IUI.
Oh Chee - I wish it wasn't so. But I agree with you that you've got nothing to lose by converting to the IUI. Sending you a big hug...
Cancellation outright would have been worse so at least the IUI means it was not all for naught. No sense wasting those expensive drugs! I know it sucks donkey balls and you will be just sick of the whole lot but you still have a foot in the game.
Oh, Chee Chee. I was sooo devastated as soon as I saw your title to this post. My heart just sank for you. I am so sorry this cycle didn't work out for you the way you (we all) hoped. I know that the light is difficult to see, but if your left tube is in working condition and you have a strong follicle- I say go for it with gusto and hope and pray for the best. Miracles happen everyday hon and there's nothing to say that you can't be the recipient of a miracle. I am going to keep hoping and praying just as strongly as I have when you started this cycle. Please keep us updated after the IUI. I will be sending strong thoughts your way and tons of (((((((((((((((((((((((((cyber HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I'm so sorry. How frustrating and disappointing.
I do hope that it goes well tomorrow.
Ugh. I agree, converting to an IUI at least still gives you a better chance than just cancelling outright. Crap.
I'm sorry that this cycle is turning out to be such a disappointment, even if it's not over yet. I'd take to heart what your clinic said about it being hard to stimulate the ovaries after such a long break. Next time might be different.
Good luck with the IUI, I hope you can find some time to rest and find some peace.
Sorry for the upsetting news, Chee Chee. I agree - go for the IUI so don't have to hear the dreaded words of "cancelled." Good luck -- internet hugs
You never know, it only takes one little match up to work out. :) I am sending you happy baby making thoughts!
Sorry to hear this. I agree with the others, a cancellation outright is something you might regret later.
Good luck with the IUI.
If it doesn't work, you will get a more effective protocol next time.
