Oh joy! Ovarian Cysts!!!!!

On Wednesday I went to see my doctor for a sonogram......not the happy kind of sonogram like when you hear a baby's heart beat but the kind they check and see why you are having a menstrual cycle every two weeks. The nurse, lady, sonogram person says, "All looks well on the right side." (I have heard this several times the past three years during several sonograms so I am laying there thinking, "Yes I know, its all normal in there, no problems..") Then she moves over to the left side and says, "Oh, you have an ovarian cyst on your left ovary." In my head I said, "Oh, ok great!" Out loud I said, "what does that mean." She proceeds to make it sound like no big deal, not a problem, very common. This same woman told me that MTHFR is very common too. I still HATE it!!

She is very good at her job, I know she and other doctors and nurses see this stuff everyday but when you are the person going through it, you don't give a crap about how "common" it is!

So the cyst should go away in about 6 weeks. Currently sounds like a lifetime away for me. If it doesn't, then I take birth control for two to three months. If that doesn't work.....well then we will cross that bridge when we get to it one step at a time.

In the meantime, I will start taking a pill 3 days after my next cycle starts that will trick my brain into thinking my ovaries are not working and it will make them work harder. Increasing our chances. Could even up our chances for having twins. Wouldn't that be fabulous!!! I could make up for some lost time and have two babies for the cost of 5! :) (the 3 I have lost, and the price it would be to have two at the same time) I truly would LOVE to have twins, but really all I want now is one healthy happy baby.

On another note, we welcomed Skaius Jermaine Foster, and Jach Martin Glass in the family on Thursday and Friday this past week. Both as cute as can be and healthy babies! Can't wait to watch them grow up! I might have to ask both moms to guest write on my blog to tell their completely opposite birth stories. One in labor 6 hours and having a C-section and the other in labor for an hour and a half, pushed twice and the baby came right out. Both were first time mommies! Wow!
