Are you kidding me?

Seriously. This has to be some kind of a cruel joke.

I've been on BCPs for 18 days now. CD3-21. I go in for my US this morning, hoping the cyst is gone. Good news is all I want to hear and all I get is more bad news.

The residual debris/cyst is gone. Yeah! But, I have an even bigger cyst over on the other ovary. What? How is this possible? I thought my ovaries were supposed to be sleeping.

There was no blood work done, so we can't confirm, but the nurse actually thinks somehow I managed to ovulate through the BCPs.

Craziness! So, tonight instead of going to bed without any more BCPs, I will take a new kind. For two more weeks. So much for a forced mini-cycle. We are holding off AF for a while longer until we can better manage those ovaries.

When will this nightmare end?
