During months that I’m going through treatment, I have hope and hope is everything. When I have to take months off due to cysts, I get a little depressed and I allow myself to feel defeated. Even though we still have like a 1-3% chance of conceiving on our own, I don’t feel very confident with those odds. I mean, we have a hard enough time conceiving with medical intervention! This isn’t my first run in with cysts. Out of 18 treatment cycles I’ve had large cysts arise 3 times. My second encounter back in July landed me on active birth control for 4 ½ weeks before they finally shrunk down to under 10 mm. Even though they are very common, they typically occur once out of every three treatment cycles, it does not make it any easier to deal with. Lucky for me though, they aren’t painful and they don’t require any draining. There is a silver lining!
October was not meant to be my month. On day 3 of my cycle, I went in for my baseline ultrasound where I was defeated once again. During the ultrasound the nurse found a large cyst that prevented me from proceeding with treatment this month. So…not only did I get a big fat negative, but now I have to take an unwanted month off from trying to conceive. Some people need to take breaks from this insanity, but this insanity is in a way part of what keeps me sane.
