Hi Everyone,

I really need some support right now so I turn to the people that would understand the most. My husband and I had decided a month ago to consider the fost-adopt program instead of getting all stressed out about pregnancy. My health is very good, but after a year of trying, we thought maybe it's time to change our course. We still are trying but not doing any ovulation kits, cycle monitering, or mucinex/robitussin. Then again, we never did. We just thought we'd fost-adopt and if we conceived - wonderful.

Well, I was having for the past few months some lower left quadrant pain. Then, one week before my period, I was having a lot of back pain, discomfort with sex and urination. Also, I was having some nausea with maybe one episode of vomiting. I decided I better see a GYN doc.

So two weeks ago, I went for an annual PAP and pelvic. Also yesterday I had an ultrasound. The Pap came back normal. But the ultrasound revealed almost a 2" ovarian cyst on the left ovary. They tech told me that I will probably have to go on the pill again to disolve it. They said that at 2" they have to act. My period is due in 4 days. They want to wait about 2 weeks then repeat the ultrasound to see if it disolved (which they doubt). If not, I'll be on the pill again.

I'm so down about it. I knew it. I have a history of a left ovarian cyst. That's why I was put on the pill at 13 years old. I was on the off for 3 years, before they just left me on it. I was on it for 9 years until June 2005. We started trying September 2005 and nothing. I'm just so down but again we never tryed anything. I know we decided to fost-adopt but to hear that I may have to go on the pill again brings tears to my eyes. Of course, I would only have to be on it for a few months, but still that's like a slap in the face. That's like giving up my last ray of hope. My husband and I are still going to go to the parenting courses for the fost-adopt program in November. I'm changing our plans, but do you guys understand???

My mom had constant cysts and was still able to conceive with me and my sister. After she had us, she stopped getting cysts. They didn't make her sterile. But I have CF. It sure can't help me. Maybe this past year I should have done Robitussin and bought ovulation kits. Part of me was in denial because I am healthy. I thought I'd conceive right away. Has anyone been in this situation? Please help me by giving advice. I don't post too often, but when I do it's from the heart. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

The woman in our family have a history of ovarian cysts. I, personally, had 1 rupture. I dont know if this cyst problem had anything to do with my "luck" during the 12 years of not using birth control or not. I never had to do anything when the cysts develop. Maybe a pain reliever if its bad, but other than that nothing. I am not sure of the different type of cysts & maybe that is where the difference is or maybe each practioner is different. I dont have much to offer then what I wrote. Good LUck!

I was the opposite. I didn't think I would conceive without knowing myself..so I did basal temp. monitoring, cervical mucus analization and finally ovulation predictor tests. Have you talked with your mom about how she became pregnant?

IMO you should get pregnant. Won't that dissolve the cyst? By now you probably know more about your cycle than you give yourself credit for. Have you ever been to mymonthlycycle.com. Feel free to PM me. Keep your chin up. It's going to be okay, it's all in God's plan.

Adoption is such a wonderful thing. And you are an incredible person for thinking about it. I think people who adopt are angel's on earth!

I wish there was something I could say. I don't have experience with cysts. But nothing is the end of the road for you guys! Just follow your heart and your gut feelings. What do they tell you? Only you can answer.
Adoption is a wonderful, loving option. Its amazing that 2 parents can find this little heart somewhere out in the world and bring it in. Pregnancy is amazing as well and I feel if you and your doctor think you are healthy enough, and you have enough support, go for it.
The door to adoption is already open to you and waiting. If you choose pregnancy and your gut tells you that's right for you a few months is a set back, but its not closing the door. I know it probably feels that way, but its not. Find a good doc or family planner to talk to openly about all your fears.
I hope you find some answer and some peace.

I get ovarian cyst all the time. I had one that was 2" and it twisted. That was probably the most painful thing I've ever experienced. But anyways, they always put me on BC to dissolve the cyst and they want me to stay on them to keep from getting them. I've tried to ask my Gyn if they will affect my fertility and she hasn't given me a straight answer.
