So, I had yet another ultrasound Monday. The old cyst is gone but a new one showed up (aprox 3cm). I asked the doc if I could go ahead and do clomid anyways so we could get in one try before Emma's due date(8/20). She went so far as to call an RE at OHSU and see if that would be ok. Well, it's not a very good idea but she has me going back in on 7/31 for another ultrasound. If the cyst has shrunk by half or more I can do clomid at that time. Of course I'm disappointed but I'm really glad my doc is trying to make this work.

So, this is my update. I'd love to know how everyone else is doing and where you're all at in the process.

Hi Joanna,
I am sorry I am so late replying here I was away for a little while and then we had a house guest this past weekend. I am sorry to hear that your just not getting cut any breaks here. However I am very glad to hear your doctor is working with you very closely, seems to be giving you some good attention (that is needed and well deserved) and trying very hard to get you rolling again. Big hugs to you!!!

I'll be thinking of you on 7/31

OK, another update. I think cysts are going to be the cause of my mental breakdown. It's still there. It shrunk by a measly 0.5mm. That's nothing. I'm waiting for a call from my doc, but I'm sure it's going to be more of the same. Keep taking the BC and go back in a few weeks. I was so sure it was gone this time too. So much for women's intuition.

Oh Joanna!
That is insane...what is the cause of these cyst? do they know? I am like a little cyst dummy sorry.

My doc doesn't know why suddenly I'm having problems with cysts. I never have. At least not during the ttc process. Also, it's very unusual to develope new cysts while on BC. Plus, my doc still hasn't called me back. I really adore her but lately she takes a long time to call me back. It's so frustrating.

Another update. My doc finaly called me back. Another month of BC. If it's not gone at my next ultrasound (in 4 weeks) I have surgery. Hopefully the idea of that will scare the cyst away.
