Just got bad news...

I went to the RE wednesday and found out that the clomid caused a cyst on my right ovary and I have to stop all fertility meds for a month. In addition to that I have to go on BCPs for a month to help shrink the cyst. If the cyst does not shrink I will have to have another laproscopy surgery right before Christmas. If it does shrink I will begin Folistem on my next cycle. This will increase my risk of multiples. This freaks me out. Twins I can handle, but more than that...I'm a teacher and so is my DH... $ is tight as it is I cant imagine what life would be like if... trying to keep that multiple thought out of my head.

I feel like this month is a wasted month. I know it is a time that we wont stress and relief of the side effects of the meds and all that stuff. And that is nice, but I feel like I have been doing this for so long and it is a waste of time right smack dab in the middle of everything.

I am just frustrated. Not only can I not Concieve because my tubes were blocked (and one still is), but now it is more disfunctional. I have had cysts before and RE said that Clomid can cause them, but that does not make me feel any better. I am just so frustrated and venting. I feel like a failure, and I know that is irrational, but it is how I feel.

Just frustrated

I am sorry that you have gotten some bad news, I know exactly how you feel every month seems to be a waste for me too. But don't let the multiples thing scare you it would be a blessing, I know about money being tight my husband is a mechanic and I don't work, we can't even afford an IUI or IVF for that matter so we have given up but given the chance I would have 10 at one time if God granted it to us. The government helps with multiples and they sometimes make your house payments and everything so don't let the money get in the way of your dream for a family. I wish you the best of luck in your journey and I hope your dream comes true.

Amy,

I was on clomid the first TTC and for 10 months of this TTC. The second time I had the same scare. How did it turn out for you? What's going on now? Are you ok?
