So I got really bad news at my monitoring appointment yesterday. When doing the u/s we found a GIGANTIC cyst on my left ovary. I really mean huge too. It was 6.8cmX5.2cm which is the size of a tennis ball. I was sent to get blood work to determine if the cyst was estrogen feeding or not. If it wasn't, I was instructed to start clomid that night. If it was, I was instructed to to fill a prescription for birth control pills and take them for a month. The bcp should help shrink the cyst. And, with my luck I had to fill the bcp prescription:( What made it all worse was that I couldn't even hold myself together until I left the office. I started crying when I got my blood drawn and just looked like a complete idiot. The nurse was very understanding and nice about it but I just felt ridiculous. I know that a month isn't that long to wait in the scheme of things but I remember taking birth control for 2 weeks between one of my cycles and it almost killed me. A month of it is going to be really hard.
On top of that, I'll be on vacation the week I should be getting AF so I have to take an extra week of the pills to make sure I'm home in time to get CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound. I'm trying to think positive about it all and I guess it will be good that I can drink while on a trip to visit a friend in Atlanta on Memorial Day weekend and I won't have to worry about going on any of the rides while in Orlando. That's only minimally comforting though:(
I hate you IF and all your unexpected new "developments".
