Has anyone been able to extend their cycle or reschedule monitoring appointments? I have a sudden death in the family that I cannot afford missing the funeral for, but it will occur halfway through my stims

What ever happened with this? I hope everything worked out for you.

Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll be able to delay. You’ll either need to do the retrieval the day of the funeral or cancel the cycle. super unfortunate circumstances.

Have you started the stim medication yet? If not I’d hold off and reschedule the cycle. This happened to me when my BIL unexpectedly passed away and my clinic was super kind about it. We were scheduled to start the day after it happened but delayed a month.

Thank you for checking in. I worked out with my clinic for a Saturday trigger and Monday retrieval. I was progressing quite fast, so my clinic was comfortable on keeping me on stims the extra day just so that I was on stims for at least 7 days. My meds were also tapered down so I was only taking ganirelix.

My retrieval was today and went well, so I’m okay with outcomes.

In the future, my clinic also gave me an option for outside monitoring, but I did not end up needing that

I don’t know but I’ve always wondered about this!

I’m sorry for your loss. This is going to depend on the specific days you are unavailable. Monitoring appointments can sometimes be shifted a day once you have started stims, depending on exactly where you are in the process, but if you will be gone for a larger chunk of time, your doctor will likely cancel the cycle.

Can you do outside monitoring ?

Are you currently on birth control before the stim cycle? If so they can sometimes keep you on bcp longer and delay starting the stims

An update here - they want to trigger me with retrieval the day of the funeral. I don’t know what to do. Have contacted them to see if we can delay a day but it does not look promising. Not currently on bcp

Once you have started the stims, your body is set into a motion that is really hard to stop because if they don’t do the retrieval you will ovulate and it will all be over. And if you retrieve too early, the eggs will not be mature. It is a very delicate timing balance. I am sorry you are in this very tough situation, but you may have to choose between totally cancelling this cycle, or moving forward with the retrieval. Are the funeral and your doctor in close location to one another?

I’ve had pain and discomfort lately and visited a gyno this week. When they examined me, they mentioned a endometrial (?) cyst on my ovary that I didn’t process fully, and prescribed low-hormone BC to manage the pain. After the visit, I did research and it appears this is a late-stage result of endometriosis, which I have never been diagnosed with (no previous gynos have ever mentioned it). Has anyone had one or have experience with endometriosis? I’m concerned about my fertility (still young).
