Sorry ladies, I just realized I've been MIA from you all!!!! Some of you may remember my story and others may not, but that's ok I'll refresh your memory along with an update......
I'm Lindsey 21 married to DH Simon 22 since March 07 (we'll be celebrating our 1 year on Saturday down in Mexico!!) We've been TTC #1 for a year but we're on cycle #16. Back in Jan we saw the fertility doc and due to no health insurance he was very compassionate in regards to waiving fees for us. I then went for lab work and DH did a basic SA for the RE. And then 6 days after my appt we got a BFP. Ironic right? It was a faint + but it showed up immediately was pink, my chart was triphasic and AF was late. The next day tested again and had a BFN and then AF showed (3 days late). The next day had an appt with the RE for an u/s to check my ovaries and uterus before beginning our fertility treatment of Femara. He discovered a cyst on my ovary. I mentioned the BFP and he confirmed that it most likely was a chemical pregnancy and that's what probably started/caused the cyst. He said come back next cycle for another u/s to check the cyst. The days after the chemical were sooo very hard for me. I cried myself to sleep. I was so sad and depressed. I didn't want to clean or cook.
We went back the next cycle, the cyst was still there. Didn't shrink or go away. So the RE put me on birth control to supposedly shrink/disappear the cyst. I was soooooooo bummed! I bawled for hours. I started taking them for a week and felt soooooooooo nauseous and sick that I didn't/couldn't take it anymore. I called the RE complaining and they switched me to an aygestin/progestin birth control pill called Norethin Ace for 3 weeks. I have 2 weeks left on them. I am hoping that the cyst will be miraculously gone. I did some research of my own and discovered that I should take extra vitamin c and echinacea to help with the shrinking of the cyst. I'm determined to get rid of this evil cyst.
We haven't been able to TTC the past 3 cycles and we're so anxious and ready and wanting to get back in the game. I am determined and want to have a 2008 baby soooo badly. We are hoping and praying that when we see the RE for the u/s in 2 weeks that we will hear good news that we have been wanting to hear, that he'll give us the meds and progesterone and that we can TTC and will get our miracle baby!
Our TTC hasn't been easy with the chemical, with the cyst, with being put on birth control, with not being able to TTC and TTC for so long without result. I never thought it would take this long or be this hard for us. I thought the longest it'd take us would be like 10 months to get pg, but boy was I ever wrong. I never imagined that we'd experience a loss or infertility. I thought we'd already have a baby by now. It's been hard the last 3 months hearing bad news on top of more bad news, but we're hoping and praying for some good news finally in 2 weeks. If we get the good news we want and hope for, I'll be O'ing on Easter Sunday and the EDD would be Dec. 15 (the day DH proposed back in 06) and we're going back to visit our families in TX and FL in May and we want to announce some good news then!
Sorry for my lengthy re-intro post and for my slight vent. Hope you girls don't mind. If so I apologize deeply! Sorry that I've been MIA from you all. I promise to be back and post more here. You ladies are all wonderful and are the ones who understand the feelings I'm going through. Thanks ladies!!!
PS- I'll be MIA from Friday-Tuesday we'll be celebrating our one year in Mexico!! I'll miss ya and post pics when I return if you'd like!
