Hun, I know how you feel, but you are NOT a failure. Sometimes our bodies fail us, but that does not mean that WE failed.
Sending big hugs and baby vibes - I think we could all use some |

Awww, sorry
Maybe it's just a one-off - they caught your body on a bad day. Did you have an u/s? Maybe it's a cyst.
You're not a failure at all.

ferrals -  - you are not a failure...if anything you are an amazing and strong person who has made the hard decision to start IVF. This is just one small setback which at the moment seems like a high mountain...but you will get over it and you will keep moving along on this journey! |

Ferral, I almost had my last cycle cancel because of high estrogen level as well. Apparently it can happen in very normal circumstances. If you don't have any cysts I am sure your body will go back to normal next month. You are not a failure. lots of hugs.

Thank's everyone i feel heaps better FS said it might just be my body as i alway's ovulate early and have a high sex drive (side effect of high estrogen) so they will test me next AF and see what my level's are i am taking vitex liquid to try to balance out my level and i am cutting a lot of meat (as ihas added hormone's ) and eating food that help's eliminate estrogen and seeing my acupuncturist so i hope it helps.
Anila- good to here from you i was only just thinking about you the other day i hope you are well.
Kahlan-if you don't mind me asking what were your level's estrogen and fsh?
