I finally started. I'm not sure if I ovulated late or if this is breakthrough bleeding since the office didn't call me back today. I guess I'll find out Monday. I think I need to see the doctor before the HSG, so I'm thinking the HSG won't be until January. We'll see.

I'm glad for the break really, and in too much physical pain to really be emotional. But in January we're going to start going to the rec center to work out, so that paired with the HSG possibly increasing fertility for a few cycles, I'm really hopeful for things in the beginning of the new year.

This cycle I'm charting again, and I took 120mg of soy CD5-9, hoping for ovulation, but mostly hoping to not have to pay for Prometrium to induce a period again.

My knee is giving me hell again - I'm limping everywhere. It's not fun, and the clutter is starting to pile up in the house.

Surgery tomorrow - whee.

Well, my cyst is all cut out and I'm all stitched up. I go in two days after Christmas for stitch removal and to find out the biopsy results.

She poked me a ton for the local. I lost count of the shots. And it still didn't work well. I could feel her cutting away here and there. I didn't feel the stitches at all, though, which was a big plus.

Afterward I felt really sick again (dizzy, nauseated, hot and breaking out in a cold sweat). This time enough so that I didn't feel I could stand, so I mentioned it to the nurse and she had me lay with my feet elevated. I felt that way when I was watching Shawn get stitched up and the last time I went in for my cyst. I'm not squeamish at all, so I'm not sure what it's from. I felt fine after a few minutes of laying, though.

All in all, it wasn't that bad. The bandage they used gave me a bit of a rash, but that's nothing compared to the hives Shawn had earlier in the week. Every now and then it starts to hurt a little, but nothing really enough to whine about.

Pictures to come whenever I change the bandage.

Don't expect pictures of my HSG, though.
