IVF and BMI
I am so devastated today. I am trying to finish my first IVF cycle. First, I went on the Progesterone to start my period. Then, I went on the BCP's and I have been injecting myself with Lupron. I went in for my E2 and ovary check and everything came out great... my levels were great and my ovaries are responding in a way that they wanted to see. My problem is when they weighed me. I gained about 1 - 2 pounds and now they are cancelling my IVF cycle because I reached the threshold of 40% <<crying>>. If I was a pound less, I would have been fine. My weight gain is probably due to the stupid meds as I feel so bloated since I started the Lupron injections. I don't get it. My ovaries are responding the way they like to see and I had a full physical exam with my cardiologist to include a stress test, EKG, etc and the doctor told me that I had a very strong heart. Why cancel my whole cycle?!?!? They say it would become dangerous for me to start the other meds being overweight, but it is only a pound and why can't I be the judge of that and why cancel if everything is responding correctly? There are women bigger than me who get pregnant all the time. If my husband made sperm, we could just do this on our own and actually be happy in the process! We would not have to go all through all this emotional trauma. I feel like I failed everyone... myself, my husband, and our parents. I was finally coming to terms with all this and now this! I just feel like I wasted our time and money and disappointed everyone. I am so sad and angry at the same time.
