My first cycle with injectables has been cancelled before it even started. I went for my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork today, and they found a cyst on my ovary. First the ultrasonographer tells me " oh I see you have a tipped uterus, but they probably told you that, it's no big deal"
No one's ever mentioned it, thankyou very much. I had surgery three weeks ago and my RE was just in there looking around and said it was fine. Then she looks at the right ovary and goes "Oh My!" I could have just died!
Of course when I was talking to the nurse, I didn't ask any questions because all I could think was "cyst, cancelled cycle, oh my GOD!" I just don't understand why I have a cyst when it wasn't there three weeks ago. I feel nothing either. So now I'll be on birth control pills for this month to try to shrink it. I can't believe this #$%! I spent the day crying and now am putting it all in perspective. I guess after waiting for three years one more month or so won't kill me. This roller coaster is not a very fun ride. I'm not saying "WEEEEEEE" all the way down! Screw it, I'm having a Bud.

Lucylou,

You are doing the right think by taking bcps. In February, I had a cyst in my left ovary, and I choose not to take the bcp. So, in March, the cysts on the left was gone, but I had two in the right ovary. I took bcp in March, and it got rid of all of them. I was able to TTC here at the end of April. I lost a month because I ignored the doc.

I know it's hard to lose a month, but the cysts generally go away. You should be good to go next month.

Sorry Lucylou,

I also had a cancelled cycle last month due to low estrogen and small follicles after injecting for 3 weeks. Boy was I freakin mad. Cried for 4 days and laid in bed feeling sorry for myself-Ate a boatload of donuts too. Out of the 12 girls in my cycle I got cut and I was pissed. I finally got over it but it took about a week. I know you are sad and depressed right now but I promise you it will be ok. Vent and scream on this board all you want. WE UNDERSTAND!! feel better.

" This roller coaster is not a very fun ride. I'm not saying "WEEEEEEE" all the way down! Screw it, I'm having a Bud. "

You said it girl . Infertility ain't no amusment park.
Hang in there.

Damn Lucy- that stinks. :-(

I had my first cycle cancelled due to a cyst too. The good news is, the next month it was gone, and I got to get started.

Hope this month passes at the speed of light for you.

Fart on the stupid cysts. Cysts suck eggs.

I'm sorry Lucylou. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif

i am SO sorry Lucy..
have that bud.......you deserve it.....that stinks what you have to go through. You are in my thoughts and prayers ...hang in there http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gifA
Momma.... you are so funny- fart on the cyst lol

lucylou- I am sorry about your cyst. Try to look at the break as a mental and physical vacation. I take my beta blood test on wed. I have a feeling I will get a BFN. Then I have to sit out next month because my DH has to travel the last 2 weeks of May which would be my next insemination. So I am tying to look at it as a mini vacation from monitoring, needles, appts, u/s, etc. I know how you feel.

That stinks Lucy. I had cysts after my first cycle, and I was so pissed off, I cried for days. Then I did what you did, put it in perspective, and said "I can do this, I can wait." But, one month seems like a lifetime, I know! I only had to take the BCP for two weeks though, and then the u/s showed they had shrunk enough for me to go on... Best wishes Lucylo!

Thanks guys! Once again, you make me feel better. Funny how right after I found out, I thought I had to come here and talk to my "girls". I'm spending the weekend feeling sorry for myself and pampering, but Monday will bring a new day. My pity party will end. I am also looking at this as month long opportunity to feel physically normal with no drugs and start living again. I'm glad I didn't start the injectables and then have the cycle cancelled.
There's the silver lining I guess. Well, just thought I'd let ya know I'm okay and thank you all. Oh yeah, the Bud was great! Just what the doctor ordered.
