Went through to Glasgow today, trying to go through our 4th IUI treatment. Had a scan as normal and the nurse (a different one again, you get used to it though!) looks through the notes and says ” hmm do you usually get cysts” OMG, eh WHAT! James and I were so shocked, my heart started racing. She checked the other ovary then went back and sure enough a great big black shadow was on the screen. It looked just like its meant to when we’re looking for the correct sized follicles but a bit bigger. James held my hand tightly. I didn’t no what to say.

The nurse I think seen the shock on our faces and assured us, that this is quite normal and that some women get them often, others not so often, but of course most people would no nothing about it, they usually go away on there own. But unfortunately it meant cancelling this treatment at the first hurdle. To be honest, i’m quite glad. I want a baby with James so much, but i’m exhausted with the treatment just now, not really the drugs, more the travelling back and forth, early in the morning or after work or even taking time off work. Maybe a break will do us good. Fingers crossed for next time.
