I went in for a scan today and they saw a 4cm cyst on my right ovary. They believe that is why I did not respond to synarel (estrogen stayed high) and why estrogen is still high.
As a result, we can't proceed with a cycle until the cyst resolves itself, which they say will be around 1-3 months. I am pretty upset and disappointed and angry about it all. Why does everything have to be so difficult! Why can't I even just proceed with an IVF cycle smoothly? sorry, but am pretty woe is me just now.
Plus yesterday was the due date of my second baby.
Hi Emma, I am so sorry to hear your news regarding the cyst, I know how frustrating the delays are. I had 3 x 2cm cysts last month, and some funny E2 and P4 levels. I had a scan on Fri, it seems they have resolved themselves already (40 days later), so there is hope for you that it won't take the full 3 months. Also, I know you were looking into antagonist cycles, is this an option so you don't have to take that full month on the pill?
And so sorry about today's date, as Sue said, there are no words, I pray you will get your forever baby soon. Big hugs
:Hug: so sorry hun that you have to go through this...I know exactly what you are feeling as I went through exactly same emotion just two days ago (of finding out my NK cell levels and potentially have to do a hysteropscopy for my fibriod), why things can't be simple, seems once we get over one hurdle another comes along...this TTC journey is sooo not for faint hearted. But I know in time all the hope will resume and we will get over it because the desire to have a bub in our arms are too strong to be defeated by these small obstacles.
Now onto the cyst, I once had a 4cm one before the IVF journey. My GP told me to have another scan in 6 weeks time and she said most of them will dissolve themselves. Sure enought its gone in the next scan. Also remember to request scan early in the cycle (ie. a few days AF finishes) not mid cycle to because you are more likely to see cysts during mid cycle. Anything under 4cm they wouldn't worry so I think yours is on the borderline just like mine, its more likely to dissovle itself and you definitely shouldn't need to wait 3 months to find an answer. After one menstal bleed should be enough. The only thing I'd check is the light bleeding, I don't have much experience in that, but do ask if the cyst brought that on.
Chin up hun and hopefully this will be the one relatively ease to get over, all you need is just one month wait.
Possums, my clinic discovered a 3cm cyst on my ovary during a Clomid/IUI cycle last year, it resulted in our 3rd and final attempt at IUI before starting IVF being cancelled. I'm so sorry it is so hard to deal with hurdle after hurdle not to mention even getting to first base isn't it? Anyway, I had a scan 3 weeks later on CD1 of my next cycle and the cyst had gone, so I too would say that there is hope that you won't have to wait for 3 months for it to resolve. My clinic nurse at the time said the majority of them resolve by the start of the next cycle.
Big for you for the due date of your angel, I certainly understand it makes everything even harder to deal with
that you will get your forever baby soon. My thoughts are with you.
