Cancelled

I once again had hives over my entire body after my follistim injection. I got to my appointment and showed them. They seemed concerned. I took some Benadryl. I had my blood drawn and then waited for Dr. Opie to show up for the ultrasound. 15 minutes later he was there and did the ultrasound. Basically, everything looked about the same. He told me they would review the case and get back to me but that ultimately it would be our decision to move forward or cancel.

Today was a long and nerve-wracking day. I called the RE at 4 when we still hadn't heard from them. Dr. Opie called back and we discussed everything. He seemed to be leaning towards going for it and then he said, "if it doesn't work, we'll know what to do next cycle." I then told him "Remember, we are only able to do 1 cycle." He asked why and I told him for financial and emotional reasons. He then said if this is the one and only cycle, we should cancel and try again. He is fairly confident we will have a better outcome with a different protocol and if nothing else we would have the same results as this time.

So, after talking with DH we've decided to cancel.

And now the tears will come....
