So I had my first RE appointment. It went really well, until the very end (more on that in a moment).
My husband and I arrived on time, and were taken back in a matter of minutes. They did weight and height on me, and took our picture for the file. We were then lead into an office, and we went over our medical history with the nurse (who is actually a patient of my mothers so was super excited to have us in the office). She was really sweet, and once she finished reviewing everything, she left us there to wait for Dr. D. He was doing an IVF ER so he ended up running really late (like almost an hour). DH started to get a little agitated, but luckily the Dr. came in right in time.
He went over our medical records and basically said that as far as he can tell everything looks fine. He said as of now we are technically "unexplained". He was very happy that I am on CD3 because we could actually use this cycle. He said he wanted to put me on 50mg of Clomid this cycle and try au natural. He was going to draw blood today, do an U/S and then have me come in again in 10 days for monitoring to see how many eggs had developed. Both DH and I were excited and off we went to the U/S room.
I got ready, and Dr. D and U/S tech came in to do my baseline U/S. My uterus looked good, left ovary looked great and then the show stopper came into focus. I have another hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary. So now we can't do anything this cycle. He put me on BCPs for the cycle to hopefully help shrink/heal the cyst. I never got my follow up U/S from the one in April so there is the chance its the same one and just didn't heal, or there is a chance that its a new one. He is interested to know the results of my blood work are and asked me to call my hematologist to get them. He thinks maybe there is something that is going on that makes me prone to hemorrhagic cyst. So we'll see. The plan as of now is to do BCPs for 24 days (ending on Fri Oct 30th), then go in for baseline U/S and B/W on CD 3 of my next cycle. So I'm out for a cycle, but hopefully the cyst will clear itself up and we will be able to move forward next cycle. They did go ahead and draw blood today to check my CD3 hormone levels since it'd never been done before.
I'm kinda bummed. But on the bright side I really liked Dr. D and his staff, and look forward to working with him next cycle.

I'm glad you like your RE that is really important. It sucks to have to take off a cycle, I am doing the same thing...you have a good attitude though. I hope the BCP makes the cyst go away.
Sorry that you'll have to take this cycle off. But I'm sure it'll be worth it, so things will be just perfect for next cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Lindsay that sucks. I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel any better we had our RE appointment today to and they converted us from IVF back to an IUI. More on that later...I hate thinking that there's a plan or a path to follow and then having the rug pulled out from underneath me.
That's great that you like your RE, but I'm so sorry you have to take a break. I know that can be really frustrating. I'm thinking of you and praying for you hun!
Boo for having to take this cycle off :( But I'm glad you like your doctor and now have a plan!
i'm sorry you have to take this cycle off too, but i'm really glad that you have a very thorough doctor. and i'm glad you like the staff...man that is key, makes a world of difference down the road. good luck Lindsay..you know i'm cheering you on..you and your ovaries :)
Aw, that SUCKS about having to wait another cycle. I remember that disappointment all too well. I'm so glad you found a great doctor though. I hope he can get you PG quickly!
Ugh, Im sorry you have to take a cycle off but I hope it gives your body time to get in gear for a new cycle with your RE. Thinking of you!
I am sorry for the set back, but I am so glad that overall it went well. I know that one cycle is an eternity right now, but hopefully you'll be good to go next time and have your blessing on the way! At least I know I have one more month to enjoy happy hour with you :) But I will also be super excited when you can't participate any more...hopefully just in time for the holidays.
