Good evening ladies, hope all is well with everyone. I am in need of some advice/information regarding cyst aspirations.
I had my basline u/s yesterday and the lovely cyst that canceled my last IVF cycle was still haning around - despite being on the bcp. I was devestated and figured the cycle would again be postponed. Well, they called today and said my estrogen was 17 and the cyst was non-functional; therefore, we could wait until next cycle or they could aspirate the cyst.
Has anyone had this done? What is the procedure like...what is the recovery period? Sorry, the nurse called me at work and I didn't ask many questions...I think I was surprised this cycle could still be a go.
Any advice or personal stories would be welcome...TIA.
Re: Cyst aspiration? Guidance needed...
Ohhh sorry! I have had a cyst aspirated also. It was definitely one of the more uncomfortable experiences to date but it's not painful. I didn't have any recovery period at all....you can go about your normal business. Tylenol or acetaminophen was recommended for discomfort after (I've always been told not to take ibuprofen because it can affect ovulation).
Don't worry........it's worth the discomfort!
