I've been on BCPs for 21 days now, and had an appointment with my RE doctor yesterday to check my ovaries prior to moving on to Lupron. Unfortunately, the doctor found several cysts - not huge ones, but nonetheless there - in both my right and left ovary. Interestingly, my left ovary is behind my uterus - that doesn't seem right.
Anyway, the doctor said that I should stay on BCPs for 2 more weeks and come back for another check. We also reviewed my last cycle in a bit more detail and talked about aspirating cysts. He said that there is no definitive research that shows that aspirating the cysts makes a difference, but that he might treat me more aggressively this time.
So, more waiting, and likely no retrieval in July I'm thinking. Next appointment is July 14th.

I'm sorry about your cysts. I hope they go away on their own and that you get encouraging news at your next appointment.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your delay- that stinks. I hope the 2 weeks does the trick!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the cysts. They really suck. I get them with every cycle. But the BCPs do help for me. I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteUgh, so sorry about the wait. Maybe the cysts will start to re-absorb on their own. I sure hope you don't have to do an aspiration! And I hope the time goes by quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh for cryin' out loud. More waiting. Does it ever end?
