Decisions, decisions...

It's been awhile, but I've been a little down in the dumps... and busy with work and appointments. I had my pelvic u/s, and once again I did not consume enough water. The 1st u/s I had I was scolded, so this time I made sure I stated drinking my 8 glasses over an hour in advance, and still no dice! So, the u/s didn't do much, but the vag cam showed that my two cysts are still there, and one has grown slightly.

I met with my RE and went over our options; basically there are two - Laparoscopy or leave the cyst and start IUI. He went through the pros and cons of Lap. Lap scares me a bit because there is a chance that the surgeon could damage an ovary. When I asked my RE what the chances are, he said that it happens quite often because the cysts are attached to the ovary and usually rather small. My RE said that if it were him (hahaha) he would leave the cyst be and cycle at least a time or two. His "no lap" stance was based on that likelihood that the cyst is not cancerous (based on blood tests, shape/size, and my age), it is not very large, and Lap could damage my ovary. I have an appointement next week with my ob/gyn to go over the pelvic u/s. My ob/gyn knows about my history of burst cysts, going to the ER, and would be the one performing the laporascopy, so we've decided to wait until after that appointment to make any decisions.

At this point, I really just wish a baby would appear under my tree on Christmas morning... I'm getting sick of all these appointments, and I know it's only the beginning....
