Before I start posting, I thought I'd introduce myself (I used to post on IF and PAIF). We are unexplained and had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with IUI #1 (we are THOSE lucky people). Our son is now almost 15 months old, but we have been trying since he was born. Here we thought we'd have Irish twins, but that didn't happen. We did IUI #1 in January - had a great #s all around but it was a BFN...and that started my battle with a stupid cyst! We tried sitting a cycle out, birth control for a cycle, and it's still there - and still the same size grrr. I had hopes that we would just get pregnant relatively easy again, but it's not happening and I'm realizing I need some support from you ladies - the ones who truly understand I have a surgical consult next Tuesday to get the low down and the set the date to remove my cyst. Looking forward to getting to know the ladies on this board! Thank you!
