After 2 1/2 years I am finally TTC with a doc's help. I try to talk to my friends for support but they can't help much. So I turn to you!

I'll jump ahead to the important stuff. After having an ultrasound (unrated) 2 years in a row both have shown I had an 1.8 fluid cyst with some free fluid. I finally went to the gyno last month to look at it and she didn't have much to say about it, she only focused on the fact I've been TTC without success.

DH's libido isn't what it used to be which makes things so much harder. I'd like to think the fact that we BD ONCE a month could be our problem right there. At least I hope it's that simple. So for the last 2 cycles we've been doing BD and the "turkey baster" method which has been a huge success. It's better than nothing right?

So this cycle is my first test cycle with the Dr. I am trying to read up (and drive myself crazy) but there is still so much I don't understand! All of my blood work on CD3 looked great. I think they already ruled out PCOS. I ovulate late so on CD14 I had my first sono. My uterus looks nice and thick (hence very bad menstrual cramps!) she said my left side follicles look very promising and the right seem too small. She had no mention of the cyst and didn't seem to see anything. Told me to come back Mon, CD 18. Had possitive OPK since Friday and says I probably ovulated over the weekend. My left follicles didn't look so impressive anymore (says I might have ovulated from them) and my right "non-impressive" side shows some free fluid which also indicates ovulation? However, my ultrasound reports would ALWAYS say "1.8cm fluid filled cyst on RT ovary with free fluid in cul de sac" every year. Is she finally seeing the cyst? Surely she could tell?

We BD and inseminate at home every 12 hours over the weekend. It has been 5 days of + OPK which I read doesn't mean too much.

Bottom line is tell me everything looks "good." Next step is to wait for AF then schedule DH for a sperm analysis and start my test cycle over again and maybe with meds this time. Why would they give me meds if everything looks good? Does that fall in the can't hurt might help category?

Thanks for listening. I think I am looking for support more than anything. TTC is so confusing/depressing!!!!!!
