    :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.

    Oh Possums, I am so sorry - sending you big hugs and that you will get your forever baby soon. My thoughts are with you.

    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

    Hugs to you

    I am hoping you feel a little better today Emma, and some of your concerns were helped with the replies of your BB pals.

    Did they suggest trying naturally while you wait for the cyst to settle, or do you need to
    put natural ttc on hold as well?

    I am off for a scan as well, next week, my body seems to be doing it's own thing as well. Hopefully your af removes the cyst quite quickly . And you can re-commence your ac.

    Thinking of you, perhaps a nice hour long massage is in order, something special to pamper yourself

    Possums so sorry to hear that there is another stone on your way. Think WLAB made an excellent suggestion.

    Take care

    Thanks everyone as usual for your wonderful support. Your replies about cysts resolving themselves fairly quickly have made me feel better.
    I would have responded sooner, but I have been home unwell this week, and my computer is playing up, so I couldn't get online.
    I am feeling better than I was too, and am resolved to try and be more positive again.
    I know i have been pretty down on here lately and would like to thank you all for being there for me and helping me through the rough bits.
    I saw my naturopath yesterday to help me get well, and he's also given me stuff to help clear the cyst and balance everything, before I start the next cycle.
    Thanks again

    ps WLAB- good luck with your scan- have you had that yet? I hope you can get on track again soon. I have been told to stay on the pill, so no natural TTC for now

    CP- sorry you are having to deal with so much just now
