My husband and I have been ttc for 1 year now. We are doing all the testing for infertility. This cycle I had a follicle study and was doing the OPKs. I never got a positive OPK so when I had my last appt with my OB she decided to do another vaginal ultrasound to make sure I released the egg. Well they found a 5cm cyst. Today, about 2 weeks later the cyst is 6cm. My doctor was out for the day and will be back tomorrow, but I am curious if anyone knows what they are going to suggest. I heard birth control, but I feel like that would be a step backward. Also I really want to do natural family planning after I have my first baby and don’t want to be on it.
Any suggestions?
Anyone have this problem?
Oh-the symptoms I am having are dull aching pain in my abdomen, and lower back pain. I have heard that I am not suppose to have sex until the cyst has shrunk or is gone, is that true?
