Went for my ultrasound recheck yesterday for the ovarian cyst. I was pretty sure the news would be good as I haven’t have much discomfort for a few weeks now. The tech said there were a couple of very small ones, but the one that was causing me pain has shrunk on its own. No surgery required! Hallelujah!
My doctor called at about 6 o’clock to talk to me about the results, and to tell me that since the ultrasound showed the beginnings of follicles forming for this cycle, she wanted me to skip the Clomid this month. I would have been glad to do that anyway since taking it meant I spent 5 days sick to my stomach after four days of having my period. The combination, I’m sure, probably made Corum want to spend the first 2 weeks of my cycle in a hotel – by himself!
Unfortunately, even though we are good to go, so to speak, I am having oral surgery on the 30th (my projected ovulation date). Two separate bone grafts will ensure I have enough tranqs in me to knock out a linebacker. Not a good idea when you’re trying to conceive.
I suppose even that is ok though, since Corum is still job hunting and would really prefer to know that he has somewhere to land after mid-July *before* I present him with any more reasons to stress. I certainly can’t argue, since not having health insurance would give me nightmares. We have had great insurance through this process and I really wish we could keep it…
So it really looks like we will have to wait until July to try again. Sigh… more time for me to get in better shape and to deal with other health issues, I guess.
