Trials and Tribulations

So this is our second round on Clomid this month in an attempt for Casey and I to get pregnant. I have been diagnosed with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). It has been a short journey so far but it is becoming more frustrating as the days go on. Last month I was complaining to the OB that I was in severe pain on my lower right side and she told me that it meant the clomid was working and my ovaries were responding to the medicine. So I went home feeling pretty good that my body was recating to the medicine like it should, even though I was in severe pain. No pain no gain, right? So when I finished my cycle this month I went in to get a sonogram to check my ovaries and I was told that I have a cyst on my ovary the size of a grapefruit and that we will have to go off the Clomid for a while to see if it would go down on its own. The cyst could possibly flip my ovary over and then I would no longer have use of my right ovary and we really dont want this to happen, it is already hard enough with two. The doctor couldnt believe that I wasnt in a lot of pain from it but I was in December but not this month thank gosh! I go back to the doctor on January 27th, so we are praying that it goes down and we can continue the use of clomid again in the near future.
