Hey everyone, I recently went through a canceled retrieval cycle due to unforeseen complications. It’s left me feeling a mix of emotions - disappointment, frustration, and uncertainty about what’s next. Has anyone else been through this? How did you cope with the unexpected turnaround? I’d appreciate any advice or stories you’re willing to share. Thanks in advance!
Last month, my IUI cycle was cancelled mid-cycle due to the presence of 3 follicles and persistent bloating and discomfort that lasted until my period arrived. Your ovaries are still enlarged and your body is still filled with hormones, so I recommend avoiding strenuous activities until your period starts. Additionally, be aware that your period may come earlier than usual, as it did for me with a 20-day cycle instead of my typical 27-30 days. Stimulated cycles like this one may not follow your normal menstrual pattern.
