OUCH!

We came home to this lovely gift over the weekend....kind of intimidating, huh...

Update

Drain 2 more cysts - CHECK!

Receive meds - CHECK!

Start injections - CHECK!

Started Lupron injections yesterday and I will take my last birth control on Thursday. We are in full-swing here people! I got a good cry in as a result of receiving a narcotic in addition to the Versed for my cyst drain...I don't do well with narcotics. As soon as it hit the ol' vain the tears began to flow, but I must say I felt quite relieved afterwards and have felt so ever since. I think I needed a good irrational cry before beginning.

Taking a P90X break :'(

I am following all of the doctor's orders and recommendations, including avoiding strenuous exercise. I am still doing the warm-ups, stretching and lots of walking with Robert... How did I get so lucky?!?! I might change my tune in a week or so when I am undeniably hormonal and hating everyone within a 50 mile radius...but I'm sure that deep within that cold heart of mine I will still be appreciative of him :)

I am to continue on Lupron until my supression check which is to take place on 11/3

**praying for good results**

What next?

What a day! I have been dreading going to the doctor this month partially because I have come to expect, "not this month" and partially because I dread that magic wand that the nurses seem to think is SO magical that the...victim doesn't seem to feel a thing during the most uncomfortable week of the month...psh! I must say that even though I somewhat expected something negative, I did not expect Sarah (the most awesome nurse, even though she is not the best with the "wand") to tell me I have (2) cysts! Yes, two rediculously large cysts that enjoy ruining my month. One is on the Right, this is the same side that I had one drained last month, it was 4.7 cm. And ol' lefty was a runner-up with a delightful 2.4cm cyst.

The cysts are not going to hold me back this month. I proceed with birth control to start my IVF cycle and then add Lupron injections to the mix later in my cycle. Hopefully this will get rid of my cycsts. If not, no problemo! If the two pests are still present during my supression check, then they will go ahead and drain them before I start my stimulation injections so we should still be able to proceed and have decent results...hopefully!

I will receive my IVF cycle calendar early next week and then go over everything with Janet. I am excited...again :) This is quite the rollercoaster... but I am ready to take, what hopefully, will be my last ride before retiring.
