We decided to cancel our IUI since my estrogen actually went down from Sat to today. As u said, we shouldn't go through with something that is not going to work or meet our goal. I do have a small uterus and they strongly recommended me only carry one the last time around so I had to reduce four of them. I want many multiples in order to have the best chance of conceiving a baby that does not have my disorder (there is a 50/50 chance with each baby) and am hoping for a baby girl as well. I will not be carrying more than one to term..I will have to selectively reduce again. It ***** but it is better than having a full blown abortion I think so that is why we don't want to take the risk.

dnikki: You could wait till your u/s to stop the progesterone since they'll see "something" if you are in fact pregnant & if not, stop taking it. Sorry about the bfn!
Hannah: I have to agree with Stacey. Who cares what the doc says?! I personally don't understand why you would be listening to a doc you say is unkind & doesn't care?! If you're 10 days late, it doesn't make any sense to me to wait so long. It's up to you; but if it was me, I would have tested long ago :)
kmcarino: Good luck with your estrogen numbers today! I'm sorry the iui may not go forward, but it is better to cancel rather than to go through with something that you know isn't going to work. We may have talked about this before, but if your uterus is too small, are you able to carry 4 babies to term? My uterus is too small to carry healthy multiples, so I'm just curious what the difference is. Take care!
It looks like we are canceling my cycle...my dh, mom, and I talked about it last night and we do not feel comfortable going forward unless there is a good chance of a multiple order pregnancy of at least 4. We are using fertility procedures in order to get pregnant with multiples..we have no fertility issues. We do not try naturally because a baby would have a 50/50 chance of having my disorder and I do not want to be faced with the decision of abortion...I would not want to do it, but my family is adament that it would be the best thing. I am really trying for a healthy baby girl since I have a little boy, but the main thing is that the baby does not have my disorder. We have tried IVF, where they test the embryos prior to transfer. Each cycle we had 3 transferred and no pregnancy. IUI worked the last time...I got pregnant with five and due to my small uterus, they told me I should reduce to one so I had selective reduction done. The higher the multiples the better chance I have of having a healthy baby and of it also being a girl, so since my estroigen level stayed the same between Thurs. night and Sat. and was slo rising the whole cycle, I don't think there is anyway to get pregnant with four. Also from what I read people who's estrogen do that have a muh less chance of getting pregnant at all, so we will save our money and try in a few weeks, unless by some miracle the level rose to 1000 from yesterday to today. They are going to call me in about an hour with the results but I am pretty sure we are canceling it. I will not take that Ganirelix shot next time until I feel it is necessary or not at all...many people don't take it at all and don't ovulate early. Thanks for all of your support. Sorry this is so long.
i agree hun i had not a wink of sleep last night im a worrier and suffer bad with anxiety so when the doctor advises me i feel oblogied to listen to him i have started my vitamins any way as they carnt hurt im going to keep of for a few days and sort it all out as soon as i get any news i will let you all no in england our doctors arnt very nice he told me to carry on and forget about it i couldnt belive him but still i will speak to you all soon thanks for all your support just hope its my bfp if it isnt what could it be am i ok x
Hi Hannah,
Your doctor has no reason or right to tell you not to test on your own. It is up to you if you want to buy an home pregnancy test and test. That is what they are for. You are very late and have other symptoms. If you think you could be pregnant, just test. Your doctor can recommend other tests but there is no harm in you doing an hpt test. This seems to be going on for too long! Just test if you want to!
Just my two cents :) Good luck with whatever you decide.
Stacey
i was in terrible pain last might i callled my on call doctor he has told me not to test yet i have to make a new appointment to go see my doctor sorry ladys this is driving me mad to x
