As most of you know, I have been battling an ovarian cyst on my right ovary since July 2008. As of October, 'Bessie' as I have named her was 5 cm in size and covering almost my entire right ovary. I have been having some problems for the past week so my doctor set me up for a pelvic ultrasound. 'Bessie" is still there but she has shrank down to 1.5 cm!!! However, she is causing some pain and next week, I am going to a gynecologist to see what can be done to get rid of 'Bessie' but also to prevent more from forming. As it is now, surgery is not an option because of my age and they do not want to create scar tissue which could affect my fertility when it comes time for me to have children. I feel better knowing Bessie is shrinking and hopefully at my next appointment in 3 months, she'll be history!!!

EEeeek... go away, Bessie! I don't know if I ever told you, but I had a cyst on my ovary too. I went to the doctor for it and it's how I found out I was pregnant with Dylan - wasn't exactly what I was expecting them to see when they did the ultrasound! Well, it went away on its own and hasn't come back. Hopefully Bessie leaves soon!!
I'll be praying for Bessie to disappear soon too! I'm so glad she's shrinking. Go away, go away, go away!
