Well there is no good news to even report. First of all my doctor had no idea why I was there today until I reminded him that I had cysts the last visit. I wish I was there for an IUI visit. After sitting in the room for what seemed like 30 mins (mind you I felt like crud this morning) he finally came back with the ultrasound machine. Yup, no good news came from this ultrasound. My cysts have grown instead of disolved or shrank. I now have a 3 1/2 cm and 3 cm cysts on my right ovary.
I need to stay on birth control for another month and see if it helps at all. If they have not shrank or dissolved I will be having surgery in either May or June. I then of course discussed cancer with him. I asked do you screen for it when you take off the cysts. He told me yes but I am too young to even have to worry about that. My next question was well if for some reason it is cancer what will you do? His response I take everything out and we do further testing. Then I asked well if you are taking everything out can we save any of my eggs and the answer was no.
I am feeling beyond defeated. I have been on the verge of tears all day but haven't broken down yet. I am just at a loss and pretty numb because every visit I get worse and worse news. I don't know what to think or do any more.

Kate, I am sorry you are going through this. I can't even imagine how you must feel, but I want you to know that I am praying for you and I hope that everything works out for you and Preston.

Kate, I'm so sorry that you have to go through all of this. Is there any way that you can see a different doctor?
