@Sams Mom: Walled you, hun.

... I'm getting sucked back into the "POAS Zone" [and it is ALLLL your fault! 🤣🤣🤣]

@Kaohinani: I had a large cyst (6 cm!) that has consistently been there the entire last year that I’ve been monitored. They actually just drained it when we did the egg retrieval. I’ve had cysts that wouldn’t go away in the past, and they were determined to be due to endometriosis, so it’s possible that was what your cyst were from. Although, it sounds like they were maybe more of an inconvenience than anything?

@LAZB: I have absolutely no clue. 🤦‍♀️ I know that I had my cyst for 5 mos and that it was functional (E2-producing) which had my cycle ALL messed up. (* The RE ran tests to check for cancer markers because my E2 was running so high.) Even with 3 cycles on BCPs. I still had elevated E2 levels which had been causing an increase in my migraines, cystic breast tissue, and weight gain (* I eat around 1200-1500 cals a day, exercise, and average 1300-1700 steps a day ... I shouldn't have been gaining. That tipped the nurse off.). It could have been a catalyst for endo OR I could have had the endo from (1) my last c-section with abnormal cell growth OR (2) the start of hormonal/fertility treatments a year ago (* Clomid before injectables) as studies have found these meds expedite endo growth. Only God knows. I am just glad everything was found. I am hoping that having a "clean slate" in regards to my reproductive system will facilitate a positive outcome when we are able to move on to IVF in the next few months.

@Sams Mom: Did you head to Target? I'm hanging on here to see another pee stick, mama! 🤣 On pins and needles waiting...

@Sams Mom: 🤦‍♀️
Idea - Get a plain one and let Sam design it (a pic of him and a pic of a little version of him ... don't tell Sam yet the little version of him is a "baby" or he may spill the beans prematurely), then write (with puff paint or fabric marker), "Big brother."
It will be extra special bc Sam made it and will signify a memorable day. (Or, you can just make one up quick because you are super-talented and all that jazz. )

@Sams Mom: Does your target have this one??

@Sams Mom: Frer suck. Like all around. Any other tests? Like another internet cheapie?

@Sams Mom: Yeah, I definitely see "something." As for the waiting on betas: Argh! You KNOW how I am, I just want an immediate, definitive answer. Now, I'm going to have to stay logged on to HB until you know for certain because I can't miss this (I already missed out on Jessiemuller88 getting her BFP!).

@Sams Mom: Oh, wow!
For your sake, I will wish a singleton for you.
(* I'm hoping for twins when we start IVF but would gladly take a singleton after 3-1/2 years trying.) I REALLY hope this is it for you.

@Sams Mom: it’s definitely there on the blue test!

Me too! I swear the cheapies are more sensitive but it’s totally my guess.
