Well, it looks like we have a little longer than we thought to come up with a decision on IVF. Why?
Because I have a cyst. Oh, joy.
They’re not uncommon when you’re on fertility drugs, so I’m actually kind of surprised this is the first one I’ve had since the whole nonsense in January. But it makes sense, seeing as this was the first cycle I was 100% on injectable hormones and had all those little follies pop up so close to ovulation.
Anyway, I have a cyst. I’ve been having some back pain and cramping on my left side and remembered the feeling. Also, even though my cycle is like clockwork, I haven’t surged yet. I’m on CD 13. I always always ALWAYS surge on CD 11, which means it’s actually interfering with my cycle. That’s wonderful. Said no one, ever.
I kind of figured something was up, and when I called Dr. Landay and started explaining what was going on, she immediately said that it sounded like a cyst.
I guess if there was ever a good time to get one it would be now, since we’re in limbo with Decision 2016 looming over our heads. Not the election. The $22k procedure.
If I don’t surge in the next couple of days, I have to go back in for another ultrasound. It either has to dissolve on its own or I’ll need laparoscopic surgery to take care of it before we move forward with the IVF prep.
Argh. Also, looks like I won’t be hopping on a treadmill for the next several days.
