As mentioned before, this IVF cycle got sidelined due to a huge functional cyst on the left ovary. I need to wait 2.5 more weeks, get AF, then baseline again, and hope the cyst is gone. If its not gone, I will demand aspiration, as I will not waste another month!!

As of today, I feel soreness on the left ovary and I think the bugger is still there. My boobs hurt too, which is a sign. My right side started getting achy too, but its probably because I had 6 eggs there at baseline. Game plan is, hubby and I will try on our own this week in case any of those eggies are good. My hubby is concerned about "wasting a month," given I am DOR and every follicle counts. I am not on any drugs right now, just lots of vitamins. Also, I started working out as a hope to lose some weight I gained from the previous cycles. I even jogged a bit! I want to say it really does calm the hormone crazies down! So I will keep it up, but then stop jogging and switch back to elliptical (I don't know why, but I don't want to stress the ovaries in luteal phase). I also got busy working on home remodel plus an extra technical project that will help me earn cash. I spent so much time in the past 6 cycles fretting about IVF that I stopped living. I want my life back!!! I am hoping to be my normal self the next cycle, if there is a cycle. And if so, I request you hold my hand throughout the hormonal injection process!

Sending you all lots of love and hope! Let me know how you're doing!
