Second IVF ( Invitro -Fertilization )

IVF # 2
We started our medication at home again in July of 2007 and then went to New York on Cycle day 9. We used the same medication as before. I started Lupron a week before my period. Then on day 5 of my cycle I started Bravelle. Then On day 8 I started Repronex. We went to New York after 9 days of stimulation. We saw Dr. B on day 9 after we arrived in New York. There was some concern that I might have a cyst and that we would have to cancel the IVF. We stayed a week in New York going back and forth to the Doctor. We were really hoping that the Doctor was wrong about the cyst. But after I took the HCG injection my progesterone level got very high and it was determined that I did have a cyst. The Doctor said if we went ahead with the IVF he did not think that it would result in a pregnancy because he wasn't sure that he would be able to retreive any eggs. Also I would be at risk for bleeding and possibly ruining my future fertility.We were disappointed that we had to cancel the IVF. It was one of those trips that everything goes wrong.
