Day 3 Fiasco

Stan & I went to Shady Grove yesterday to check and see how my body was doing. We ended up having the weirdest experience. With my Day 3 testing I first get a blood draw and then I go into a room to get a sonogram. Well it was exactly like that this time. Stan & I went into the room and the sonogram tech found a cyst which she measured as 4.8 cm. That is pretty big so I immediatly knew that the cycle for this month was out the window. Then the sonogram tech she sees a tuba blockage and then turn to me and asks is that your fallopian tube. I was all excited that I seemed to be that knowledgeable and all but hello lady you went to school for this not me.

It made me question her ability to do my sonogram. Then she went to ask Dr. Timmerick if she needed an estrogen draw (to test the estrogen levels in my blood to find out whether the cyst is estrogen producing or not) and the Doctor said that it wouldn't be needed that I will just have to take a break for this month. As I was leaving the sonogram lady said "Enjoy your break". She was just trying to be nice and I know this but my feelings were really hurt since I just came off of a break recently and I really wanted to see an improvement in my body. We had to pay our usual $150 for nothing and then we drove back home.

The ride home was painful both Stan & I were frustrated and upset which never helps a situation. We ended up getting mad at each other and attacking each other. Then we took a little break just sat in silence and thought about everything. It was sad but I think we both needed to get it all out and then when we made up I think a lot of things were cleared.

We decided to go out to lunch to Don Pablos and just de-stress. We had a great time just hanging out and I was happy to just be with him. I think the whole situation was really sad for us both.

Then in a strange turn of events I got a call from a nurse at Shady Grove saying that it was ok to start the cyle. I was like are you sure because that is not what I heard. Then I recounted the whole story to her on the telephone so she said she would call Dr. Timmerick and double check. So Dr. Timmerick agreed with Dr. O'Brien that it would be ok for me to start the cycle.

This came as such a huge shock since cysts have stopped us on every turn but I am going to talk to Dr. Osheroff tomorrow to make triple sure that this is okay. The nurse said that since the cysts look consistant it doesn't seem to be a problem but I only have one ovary and the medication and make cysts grow so I not going to play. If three doctors says its ok then I am going with it.
