Or Not

So, Murphy's Law and all that jazz. I had a cyst, maybe even two (sibling rivalry, had to outdo Angie). Apparently what I didn't know about us poor responders, we're prone to cysts (long medical explaination short, cysts are common, but usually go away on their own and are not supposed to occur if you are properly suppressed with BCPs). I have more details to share (of course), but my computer is on the fritz and I am at my mom's and Fletcher will be interested in "piano lessons" for only so long, so I will keep it brief.

My RE (reproductive endocrinologist aka the fertility doc) mentioned surgery to remove the cyst, but I decided to give it a little more time to go away on its own, as the last thing I need right now are more hospital bills on top of the cycle costs and all of Fletcher's bills. So we are throwing a double dose of birth control pills at the little bugger(s) and will see what happens when I go in for my next scan on August 29th. In the meantime Angie gets a brief respite in her role as pin cushion.

That's the latest and greatest. Hopefully will be posting at the end of the month with some good news.

That's really crappy news! I'm sorry to hear that there's a setback and hope that it's only a temporary one. I'm sending strong messages to your ovaries....

Blogging is all new to me so I didn't know I could leave a comment. I will keep you and this "crazy endeavor" in my prayers and am looking for good news or whatever news later this month. By the way I don't think it is so crazy, I think it's great. Love Aunt Beth
