bump in the road again…feeling deflated…any advice 😭

[Faith103]

hi all.

hope all is well.

So today I went for my baseline scan and I’ve been told I’ve got cysts on both ovaries,fluid in my one remaining tube and fluid in my womb. I’m heartbroken as I had a scan in July and all was okay but I held off as we have a holiday booked so I wanted to enjoy that first.

my fear is they are going to ask me to have surgery. I know the waiting lists are long and I can’t afford to go private to get my tube clipped. I was so ready to have this cycle and now I don’t know what to do. Any advice would be great? Is it game over for me?

My endo is also getting bad so by the time I have surgery I don’t know how much more damage there will be.

I’m so angry and pissed off. Not eaten all day. xxx

Eurgh, I’m sorry love that’s so shit.

I don’t know anything about the fluid but I have had a cycle cancelled because of cysts. Mine was 6cm but they put me on the pill for a month and after about 5 weeks it had gone by itself. I imagine the fluid probably complicated things though so sorry I’m not of much help. What’s the plan now, are they rescanning? Xx

thanks for your reply. I’ve got the specialist calling me tomorrow with which way we are going to go forward. Like you said I don’t think the cysts are a massive problem as I had them on my last transfer and it didn’t make them cancel I think it’s more the fluid. They have suggested rescanning after I’ve had a period so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. How’s your journey going? Looking at my ivf son is all that gives me strength to keep going xxx

Hi Faith. Oh dear not what you want to hear. I do hope you had a fabulous holiday before all this came to light. You have to be a brave girl now and look forward to being sorted out before proceeding with further treatment. Keep in touch with the secretaries and tell them that you will accept a cancellation for the tubal surgery - you may be lucky. Hopefully the fluid issues can easily be solved with being aspirated. Obviously, I wish you well when you have these procedures done, and for eventual success. Diane
