The title says it all.
I figured this was going to be the result, but to say it makes it more real. I had a bit of a meltdown last night (I have those just about every other cycle) and all I have to say is thank god for Matt. He is my rock and the only reason I am able to continue going through this. I don't know what I did to deserve an awesome husband like him. That is all I am going to say for now. There won't be another IUI for at least 1 cycle because of the cysts. I will still update with the cycle on "our own".

Complication.....
Well, all was going just fine....until today.
I was awoken this morning by a shooting pain in my right groin area, but I only felt it when I pulled my knees up toward my chest (which is how I sleep). So I just kept trying to readjust myself, but eventually I couldn't sleep anymore and I just got up. I decided I was going to pee on my first stick today so I did that...negative. I will do it again for the next 3 days! I figured the pain I was feeling was from my ovaries getting mad at me again just like last time so I decided to take a couple advil and just rest. By about 1 pm the pain was much worse than it has ever been. I couldn't even sit up! So I called Dr. Carnovale to see what he thought I should do. He said he could either call me in a pain medication or if I wanted to, I could come in for an ultrasound. I chose the ultrasound just because this pain was so much worse and I wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. I headed right in and sure enough I had several cysts on my ovary! He counted and measured them, while I sat there and wanted to cry. He said he would give me a script for a pain medication and I should just rest.
I was on call today at work from 3p-7p and of course they needed me! I felt so bad saying I couldn't come in, but the pain medication he prescribed was Vicoprofen which contained Vicodin which I can't take while working. They were very understanding. I am so grateful that I work with a bunch of wonderful girls!
So now I am at home. I took one of those happy pills around 3 and was asleep by 4:30! They did help my pain and knocked me out in the process.
So that is the update for now, I am kind of bummed that this is happening again. I also don't think I am pregnant as I have felt quite irritable lately and that is usually a sign that aunt flo is coming. So now comes the waiting for the cysts to go away. AGAIN
Matt and I are continuing to save every dime we get so we can do IVF if needed (which I think it will be). Hopefully we will have a baby soon :(
