update.

Sorry I haven't updated what has been going on. I was a little depressed about the whole situation.
Surgery was of course worse than they thought, so they did end up opening me up. I figured on that, but what I had not considered happened. Not only did they take both my tubes, but they also took my left ovary! I was very upset by this development. Apparently it was completely consumed by my endometriomas.
So I only have one ovary left to do In Vitro with. That should be all I need though. My local Doc said he would get a hold of my Fertility Doc and at my next apt. tell me what is up. When I got to that apt. he told me to just get a hold of the Fertility Doc.
So as soon as I left his office, I called and got an apt for Friday the 12. I went back to work on the 9, so I asked my boss right after I made the apt and she said no way I can have off. (The fertility apt I could go in or call and talk to Doc at that time, so I didn't have to cancel)
Anyway, Friday came and another class was really low, so I said I'm going to go to my apt. So my parents were nice enough to go with me since Ryan could not.
When I got there the Doc said the other one never did talk to him or send the right info, so I had to tell him best I could what happened. We discussed options and he told me I was right on track that I could start the next day!!!!!!! I was so excited. He wanted to look at my ovary before he did any thing else though.
Unfortunately the ultrasound showed that I already have two cysts on my ovary. He said he is really concerned that I have two already when it hasn't even been a month since my surgery. He said we would do some blood work and if it came back that the cysts were not sending off too much hormone I would still be able to start the next day.
I got to meet with the Nurse next and she explained everything about the meds and shots and gave me a calendar that explained everything and it even included a due date!!! Dec. 15.
Now I was really excited.
They got my blood and I left on cloud 9.
Next day they didn't call. They told me they would call by 5, so I called left a message. They finally called me back at 6:30. It was bad news. They would have let me proceed if my hormone level was less than 70, it was 140! They also told me I am anemic and need to take an iron supplement. I told them that I had lost a lot of blood with my surgery. They agreed it might just be that but to take a supplement.
I held it together for about 15 minutes, but then reality sunk in and I was so sad!
Now I have to wait at least a month. They will do another ultrasound and blood test. If they are gone we will proceed. If not then they will put me on birth control. They want to see if the cysts go away on their own before giving me birth control, but I would rather just take it and get closer to In Vitro.
They know what they are doing though, so I do just need to be patient. It is still a huge rollercoaster ride!

  1. i guess I have a guestion. Do you need to have the two Dr.'s, and did you get before and after x rays after your Dr did the surgery. Did he really do a good job cleaning you out or did he leave the cysts not paying attention. It just doesn't make sense to me how those cysts can grow that fast when you weren't on any hormones. Its truly sad that you have to go through all this. And can they just extract your eggs from your 1 ovary, then take your ovary to at least supress the endo from growing?

  2. I did finally get a hold of the Doc here. He said I did not have any cysts on my right ovary at the time of surgery. So they did grow that fast. You get cysts with every cycle and they are suppose to burst with the release of the egg. I am really hopping that they will go away.
    The fertility Doc said I can't have the cysts to do In Vitro, they get in the way of egg retrieval.
