To say my nerves were out of control this week would be an understatement. I probably had 2/7 decent nights sleep this week bc I just couldn't shut my brain off once my head hit the pillow. I 'what if'ed the shit out of every possible scenario that could have played out today with this cyst.
But the worrying was all for nothing bc the cyst is gone!

Trying to figure out what you are looking at here? Top is pics of the cyst as of 4 weeks ago and how it takes up my entire ovary (and ultrasound screen) and bottom shows how it is now resolved. If you look hard enough you can see where the doc is measuring the residual cyst over towards the left side but in my mind, that is a good looking ovary. And you can even see some new follies ready to be stimulated by the follistim towards the top (tiny little black dots).
Doctor always checks my right ovary first and I knew as soon as she started that the cyst was gone bc the big black mass that was on the screen the past few months wasn't anywhere to be found. She found a follie that was 13mm which is probably the residual cyst but that is an ok size so no harm, no foul with that. She was just as happy as I was but told me before we totally celebrate we should check the left ovary too just in case. That ovary is cyst free as well!!!
No more birth control pills!!!
So plan for this month is....
Call on cd1 to get baseline blood work on cd2 or cd3. On cd3 I will start my 50iu of follistim daily...we will up the dosage if needed. Once I have some mature follicles I will trigger with my hcg shot and then do back to back iui's. The only catch is that we don't want more than 3 mature follicles or else she will cancel my cycle. So fingers crossed for a good response to the meds without over responding to the meds. Isn't science grand?
I feel like I am walking on cloud 9 right now. Feels nice to have good news for once.
I want to thank those of you who remembered today was my appt and sent me wishes saying you were thinking and pulling for me. <3
