I feel deflated.
Had a routine appointment this morning for an ultrasound so that we could move forward with medication. Unfortunately, the cyst on my left ovary that they found back in October was still there and we hit a bit of a brick wall. Apparently, you can't take any oral medication or do the injectibles if you have a cyst because it will make the cyst grow. Ugh.
He gave us 3 new options today...
1. Do nothing. Continue au naturale and hope and pray it works
2. Take birth control pills (Seriously??? I can't imagine the thought)
3. Surgery to remove the cyst
The doctor scheduled me for another ultrasound through the radiology department (there's are better, I guess??) and we will hopefully know more soon. If the cyst is just hanging out there doing what nice cysts do, then we'll just try to ignore it for now. But, if it looks like it might be harmful or hindering conception, I guess we'll have to make a decision about how to forge ahead.
At this point, I'm still hopeful, but feeling a bit knocked down. After having to take last month off because I missed my ovulation, I was really looking forward to making it happen this time with the help of some good drugs. I was sure, in my mind, that this would be IT!
*(big, dramatic sigh)*
Back to the drawing board, we go...
