So, I started Provera June 9th. This is a medication that forces you to have a period. I take 2 pills for 5 days, and usually 3 to 5 days after the last pill I start my period. This time 14 days past with nothing. No period at all. I call and talk to a nurse, and she tells me she is going to call in Premarin (estrogen) because they don't think my lining is building up to have a period. I go pick it up (its 30 bucks). I start spotting the next day. And I get af full on the day after. I schedule my baseline ultrasound for today, CD 3. This is to make sure everything is okay before I start my Clomid and Follistim (fertility meds). Well, they do a check and things are not okay. Erin (nurse practitioner) tell me I have a huge cyst, and turns the ultrasound screen to show me. And the cyst is huge. 58mmx35mm. I have to be careful for the next month while I take birth control to try and shrink the cyst, and hope it goes away. I guess, its big enough if it rupture it could cause damage to my ovary. And here is the giant monster inside of me.
The little tiny dots to the right of the huge one are how big your follicles are supposed to be at this point. The cyst is inside my ovary, and has it stretched 3 times the size its supposed to be. Erin was really surprised I hadn't been having a lot of pain. It is sore on that side from the ultrasound I think. But if I get any sharp pains I have to come in.
This girl can't catch a break. Better luck next time?
