How Could This Happen
We’re devastated! After my sonogram and blood work this morning it was confirmed I ovulated early and lost all of my follicles. Early ovulation was exactly what I was afraid of, I know my body and I felt like this was going to happen. The team informed me to “not worry” because I was taking Cetrotide to prevent that. But things can happen. I don’t write this to scare you, this is just my personal experience with it. IVF is an amazing treatment to help women get pregnant and I still believe in it, I just had to share my experience with advocating for yourself!
Infertility Is Hard, But You’re Stronger
Both of us cried our eyes out, I’m so upset. Ovulating early during IVF stimming is extremely rare, 1% can ovulate before egg retrieval. My last two IVF cycles this never happened.
It was crazy but hearing the news I’m not going to lie was heartbreaking. This cycle was extremely hard emotionally, mentally and physically. The driving back and forth to Tampa everyday at 6am, getting blood drawn, injecting 6 shots daily + sonograms took a major toll on me.
Infertility is hard, it’s a battle. This platform is my voice, and even if I can help one person then maybe it’s worth it.
After this loss, we need to give ourselves grace and some room to heal. I am going to focus on all the positives in my life, my amazing husband, my loving family, my health, my passions. Finding my happy place again. We’re putting IVF behind us, for now.
Infertility Warrior
This was definitely a powerful moment. I believe God was telling us loud and clear to LET GO AND LET ME. As the news sank in and tears streamed down my face, I heard and felt the Holy Spirit speaking those words to me. We don’t always understand why things happen, but today I believe Jesus stepped in, urging us to stop relying on worldly things and instead put 100% of our trust in our faith. Our early ovulation story isn’t over yet. The Lord had something different in mind for us, not this time.
Thank you to everyone who prayed and supported me during this 3rd IVF. You all are truly amazing, and this online community is such a blessing. While my heart aches for our own baby, we’re not giving up on starting a family. We’ve decided to let go of the treatments and fully surrender our hearts to Jesus’s plan for us.

Hope In Your Infertility Journey
Update as of 2023:
Because it’s a new day, a new week to get up and live again. I want to thank all of you who sent so much love and support for the news a few days ago about my IVF cycle 3 failing, by my body ovulating early and losing all of my follicles. It was a very hard one but today I’m starting all over again.
I think it’s important to grieve, cry and take everything in when bad news comes your way. We all have had bad news, traumatic moments and hardships: it’s what we do with it after that matters. That’s life.
