bummed- IVF cycle might be a bust,need good thoughts

[Mikeal'smom]

This was supposed to be my second (and last) IVF cycle.  Last time I had 12 mature follicles and it was unsuccessful.  This time we took it a little slower and I only had 8, one which will be too mature by the time we would be able to do anything, 2 15's and 2 13's.  I had an ultrasound yesterday and my nurse called to let me know that I need to do another u/s today with blood work.  She also told me that this cycle might be turned into an IUI (if there are not 5 or more mature follicles, they won't do a retrevial), and I thought to myself "well, at least it won't be a complete loss", and then as I was laying in bed last night realized that there is no point to doing an IUI-  ALL of my follicles are in my left ovary (right ovary didn't respond at all) and unfortunatly I have no tube on my left side (due to an ectopic pregnancy) so my chances of concieving this month are slim to none:(  It seems like this was just such a long cycle and now it will probably be for nothing.  Last time, my RE told me that I should have had a lot more than 12 mature follicles (as I am only 27), and this time I have even less- I'm thinking that if this cycle is cancelled than I should ask about using a different medication because I'm obviously not responding well to this one, what do you ladies think?   Sorry to vent like this- just bummed because once again this isn't going to happen for me- I have been trying for four years and still nothing, it's getting really hard to hold onto my dream of having another baby- I'm not sure it's ever going to happen.  Any positive thoughts you could send my way would be greatly appreciated- thanks ladies and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Do not apologize for venting this is the perfect place to come and do that!! We are always here to help!!!

Sadly I have no expereince with IVF but I just wanted to let you know that I am very sorry that you are going through all of this. I am only 26 and I have spent over the last 2years trying to get pg. So, I totally feel your frustration.

I would talk to your doctor about getting on some news meds, maybe this one is just not responding to your body well enough.  I really wish you all the best and I know you will get your little blessing very soon!!
Try to have a good weekend!! Take some time to treat yourself!!!! SSBD!!!
