Believe me, I know how you feel.  I only recently gave up on the quest to have a child of my own and I am 35, almost 36 years olf.  It was very weird.  Ovarian cysts are common enough.  You may even have Polycystic Ovarian Disease.  I want you to know that many, many women come through fertility treatments successfully.  I just happen to be in the percentage that didn’t.  Have you started tracking your cycle by taking your temperature and recording it everyday?  This is the first, most basic step and the one that will save you time down the road.  Most doctors make you do that for 3-6 months before they will do anything else.  So, get started.  Also, get your hands on a copy of "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler.  It is an invaluable resource.  I would send you mine but I sent it to my sister, not that she needs it anymore since she finally had twins.  Good luck!

I have to now look this up and hope I don’t have it. > I want you to know that many, many women come through > fertility treatments successfully.  I just happen to be in the > percentage that didn’t.  Have you started tracking your cycle by taking > your temperature and recording it everyday?  This is the first, most > basic step and the one that will save you time down the road.  Most > doctors make you do that for 3-6 months before they will do anything > else.  So, get started.

Haven’t started this, yet. But the doctor gave me a cycle chart to follow and if nothing happens by January we will go into more detailed stuff.  He doesn’t seem worried about anything,  He even thinks the mass is nothing but wants me to get it checked for my own peace of mind. > Also, get your hands on a copy of "Taking > Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler.  It is an invaluable > resource.  I would send you mine but I sent it to my sister, not that > she needs it anymore since she finally had twins.  Good luck!

I’ll get to ordering that from borders.com.  Thanks. Jennifer G. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Louise

Thanks.  I hope I don’t need any help but you never know.  My mother wanted a big family.  She was lucky to have me and during that pregnancy is when they found the Ovarian Cysts.  It took 3 more years to have my sister and 6 years later, when they gave up completely, they had my brother.  On the other hand, my sister is like a Fertile Myrtle.  She got pregnant with both my nephews while using birth control pills and condoms.  I just don’t want to feel nor get too old before my first.  If my life went exactly the way I wanted it to go I would of had my first child when I was 20 not trying to get my first when I’m 30.

Jennifer, if you ever need to talk about fertility issues, drop me a line.  I am a self-professed expert at this point have tried over a decade to have a child of my own.  Your doctor is right, you shouldn’t worry before January.  Heck, most doctors will tell you not to get concerned until you have been trying for at least a year.  And by trying, they mean having sex with the thermometer and the chart tell you to.  *huge hugs*  Let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much. I thought I wasn’t worried but sitting here alone tonight while SS is sleeping and DH is at the Jet’s game, it’s starting to get to me.  My mother told me not to worry, this is common in our family but when someone tells you not to worry you can’t help but worry more. DH wanted to stay home tonight but I told him to go.  He had the tickets for awhile and it’s no sense to miss that for no reason.  But I do want him to go with me when I go for the ultra sound and he said he would.

Hi everyone.  Today I went for my annual physical and pap smear. Unfortunately my usual ob/gyn has retired so I had to go to a new one.  Now I have to go for an ultrasound because he thinks he found a growth.  He says it might not be one it just might be the way I’m shaped but he’s not taking any chances.  Plus there is a history of Ovarian Cysts in my family (every Aunt had them, my Mother and my Sister). He is also sending my husband for a sperm count because we’ve been trying to get pregnant since April with no luck.  He also says that I should not be concerned with that unless January rolls around and I’m still not pregnant.  In that case, we do more extensive fertility testing etc.. So now to make an appointment for blood work, an ultrasound and for my husbands sperm count –(wait till I tell him that, and we’re not even sure if it will be covered by our insurance). Also, SS came up to me earlier last week and asked me when he will have that new brother that he wants.  He’s 10 and I really think he just wants a bunk bed. LOL? thanks for letting me get that off my chest Jennifer G
