Thanks ladies

Not feeling quite so sorry for myself this morning although I'm still sick and at home again.

principessa, thanks for your kind words. I'm not sure what will happen with the dermoid. Last time my dr said she would be reluctant to take it out before TTC as it may further compromise my fertility (considering I have PCOS too) It was 3.4cm at this time. Now that it's nearly 5cm (and that seems to be the 'cut-off' IYKWIM) I'm thinking they may want to get it out. It's taken over my entire left ovary except for three small parts that the radiologist could see on the u/s. Not great Although it's not as big as some I've read- over 10cm. But in saying that these ladies had to have their ovary removed too.

Has anyone had to have surgery on their ovary? I'm worried about how long this will 'set me back', but am also thinking that if it's POSSIBLE that it might prevent clomid or any other ovulation inducer to work then I have nothing to lose if I get it out (except maybe my ovary if it's too damaged).

The worst part is I have to wait until 13th September to find out what will happen
