Well, to catch you up from my last post...
I had my appointment on Monday with the local RE. They did bloodwork and an u/s. Well, when he was doing my u/s he checked my uterus and it was fine so he measured my lining. Then, he moved to my first ovary (right)... and I was like, CRAP!!! I saw it immediately. I GIANT cyst on my right ovary. If I remember (and heard him) correctly, it was 31mm. He moved to my left ovary and I think there were 1 or 2 small cysts (I don't remember the sizes, but they were pretty small). I asked him what he thought about the cyst and he said that if it was releasing estrogen or progesterone that I would probably be looking at a cancelled cycle.
So I waited all day long to get the phone call from my RE's nurse about my b/w results... and no call...
The next day (Tuesday) I finally got a call. She said that Dr. T had reviewed all my b/w and u/s results and wrote orders to proceed with the FET protocol.... I was like, WHAT? The nurse said that based on my reaction they were expecting a super huge cyst and he said that what was there was not that bad. So of course, now I have these worst case scenario situations running through my brain... Did the local RE write down the size of the cyst correctly? Did Dr. T actually read the size and still think it wise to proceed? What if I proceed and the cyst causes a cancelled cycle as the FET date gets closer? What if my embryo cannot successfully implant b/c of problems with the cyst. What if I lose the pregnancy due to the cyst?
Well, I wrote an Email to Dr. T asking him a couple of questions in regards to the cyst (sent it Tuesday), but today (Wednesday) I have yet to receive a response. Not sure what is taking so long... Usually he responds same day (even on the weekend!)... So not sure if he is on vacation or purposefully ignoring my questions.
However, the nurse was kind enough to send me the results of my b/w and everything looked GREAT. My estrogen was less than 20 and progesterone was 0.4. So that must mean that the cyst is NOT producing estrogen or progesterone. Or else the levels would have been elevated. She also let me know that my TSH level from 2 weeks ago was normal (2.6). So that is good, too!
Honestly, I would be extremely thrilled with how WELL things were looking if it wasn't for that giant cyst on my ovary. I wish it would go away! It is making me nervous. And I don't know if I am paranoid, but I swear now that I know it is there I can "feel" it. I feel twinges of cramping on my right ovary now. Maybe I'm imagining them, but I swear I am having pain from that cyst. Please let it be GONE by my next u/s!!!
Speaking of which... my next u/s will be on Nov 15th at 8:30am. It will be a "lining check". As long as everything looks good then my transfer date will be Nov 22nd. I cannot believe I actually have a transfer date finally!!! November 22nd... Sounds like a great date to me! Also, if I succeed and get pregnant... my estimated DUE DATE (!!!!) would be August 9th, 2012! Honestly, that sounds like a horrible time of year to be due (3rd trimester during the hot summer months, bleh)... but I'll take it!!! I cannot wait for this baby girl to become a part of our family!!!
My FET day 1 officially starts tomorrow (Nov 3rd). I start taking Estrace (1 tab twice daily). Hmm.. lemme see if I can post my protocol below....
