Just when you’re hopeful that everything is going well and on track
BAM.
Another road block..

Nick and I headed to the Dr. for a baseline ultrasound before starting the meds you take leading up to #transfer. I was SO excited to start popping my estrace pills, wearing the estrogen patch, Hell... even those damn #progesterone in oil shots were appealing. (Said no one ever)
I am laying down on the table, and the nurse informed us that I developed a cyst on my right ovary. Are you kidding me? I JUST had a hysterscopy 4 days ago, stopped Birth Control 2 days ago, and I managed to grow a cyst. The Nurse told me that depending on what Dr said, we will do one of the following options:
1) Go in and aspirate the #cyst, which requires me to be put under, yet again, but keeps us on track for schedule transfer date.
2) Wait another week to see if the cyst clears up on its own, once I get my period, but would push our transfer date back another week.
3) Hope that the Lupron shot that shuts down my ovaries, just needed some more time to kick in, which will push us back a week.
When going through this journey, it is no joke how many times you go up, and you go down. At some point, honestly, you just become numb. That’s where I was at leaving the drs after this appointment. The nurse felt bad about telling me I had a cyst and having to delay our FET cycle. I told her that it’s ok, I would rather everything be perfect and Nick and I already waited 5 years, what’s another week? Or two?
Does it suck? Yes. Can it be changed? No.
None of what we are going through can be changed. So you buckle up and accept the rollercoaster of emotions of IVF ride.

5 days after I stopped my BC I am still here waiting for my period. Lupron shot has fully kicked in and I am an emotionless depressed zombie who is well aware of why I am the way I am right now, but can’t do anything about it and I want to soo bad. Lol. It’s bizarre, but I’m pushing through. In all honesty I am scared something is wrong, but I remind myself that everything will be ok and the Dr knows what he is doing.
We are one day closer than we were yesterday! My Besties have reminded me of that, and too focus on the positive part. Deep down I know that our cycle got pushed back for a reason, and I may not see it now and that’s ok. Now we sit, and wait. We have totally mastered the waiting game, that’s for sure. Treating myself to acupuncture today as I have had a hell of a busy week with work and emotions. Acupuncture calms me down and I can say bye bye stress. I have a fun evening tonight at a local distilling company where my hoops, (#simplyhooped) are on display. Looking forward to that and I have the best of people coming out to support me. I truly am blessed.
