TTC & more hospitals

After all the ordeals i had been through my specialist gave me the ok to start trying for a baby. With all of my surgeries she thought we may have some trouble, although still highly believed that it could happen without help.

After a couple of months trying i was due for another check up with my Gynae/Onc specialist - she was having trouble getting a good sample of the endo cervical cells from my smear so she scheduled a curette, so back to Hospital again!!

After the curette i was given a request form to get a scan done to check on "abnormal uterus" - WTF, i asked the nurses and they knew nothing about anything. I finally got to speak to my specialist about 5 hours later and she was fuming!! One of the other docs was supposed to have come and spoken to me about it hours before, and they had totally mucked up what was on the request! My specialist was a bit worried that my cyst was back on my ovary and wanted me to have another scan to check it out!

I went for a scan and it confirmed that my cyst was back! It was no where near the size of before, but it was certainly there! It was actually larger than the size where they would normally make the decision to operate (i didn't find this out until much later on!!), but my specialist wanted to leave it as the more times she opened me up and operated on my ovary, the less chance i was going to have at getting pregnant, so we just monitored the cyst over the next 6 months.

Gradually the cyst shrank! Finally something was going my way. Although we still hadn't fallen pregnant yet.
