I swear, my ovaries didn't get the memo that we are trying to make a baby here!!
So I spoke too soon on my last post...we are cancelled for this month because of the cysts. Apparently the report had "cysts" hand written so small on it that they didn't even catch it at FWF when they said we were good to go this month. I have one cyst on each ovary and since they are each about 3cm in size (roughly the size of an ovary) the measurements for them were mistaken for the measurements of my ovaries. So good news is that we caught it before I started the meds which could have caused them to grow and rupture (Ouch!) but the bad news is that we are yet again delayed for baby making. :(
I was prescribed birth control which should help shrink the cysts and I'm to take the active pills for the full 28 days and then start the inactive. Hopefully, I will start my cycle right away with the inactive and we'll try again. I'll go back in for another ultrasound once I start my period to see if the cysts have shrunk or better yet, gone away altogether so that we can actually move forward. If they are still there, we continue to wait.
It's so frustrating to know that my body isn't cooperating and there is nothing that I can do about it but wait. And hope.
Needless to say, Jonathan and I are both feeling a little grumpy and down. I just hope we start getting some good news soon and these damn cysts go away with just one cycle and don't take longer than that and we can start meds at the end of March and I respond to them this time! Then we're back to hoping that the IUI works on the first try too because if not, that puts us back yet another month.
I'm irritated and bummed and need to go for a run...
