Need some advice....
Hi guys, its MaggieP, I haven't posted in awhile since December actually, when I need help cause my doc foind a lump in my breast, had the ultrasound and it turned out to be cyst, so I have to go back soon and have another ultrasound done to check on it, I am scared about that, why do I need this done agin if it is a cyst? I hate the docs and what they do to us, but also I haven't had a full blown panic attack in a year now, March 21 was my 1 year anniversary, so that is good, but my husband and I are still trying to get pregnant and I was wondering if anyone had some tips, we have been trying for for 8 months and it is starting to get real discouraging and I can't help but get upset, its like I get jealous of everyone who is pregnant, I feel like it is never goning to happen, my periods are normal and I just don't know how to realax about this, can anyone help or relate to my cyst or the pregnacy?

I can't help much with the pregnancy issue, but I had a cyst found in my breast last year too and the doctor sent me to the surgeon for further evaulation (which totally freaked me out!). They diagnosed it as fibroadenoma (which is non cancerous), but THEN the surgeon's office called me back now six months later and wants to see me again. I asked a LOT of questions about that and found out that it is just a formality because he wants to compare the baseline results and scan from my first (and only) visit with him to now to see if there is any change. He really put me much more at ease about it, saying that if there was no change, as he suspected, that everything was fine...and if there was change, I would just need to follow up in a year or if I had any problems or concerns. This seems to be pretty much standard procedure. I would try not to stress about it. It's better to have things answered and covered than boiling and wondering in the back of your mind all the time!
Hae you talked to your OB-GYN about getting pregnant? Have they done tests on your ovaries and on your husband? I can understand how you could feel jealous or envious of other people's children, but everything happens for a reason. I know that sounds trite, but it is true. Being uptight and upset is not conducive to getting pregnant either...so if it were me - I'd try listening to the relaxation cd/tape a lot more and trying to focus on that...me...and my husband. Maybe that will help.
I read something once by Coorie Ten Boom (from the movie and the book "The Hiding Place") that everything we do this side of heaven looks to us like the back of a piece of needlework. Have you ever looked at the back of a cross stitch, embroidery, etc? It's a BIG mess of strings, knots, and random colors. It's not until we get to heaven...the other side of the piece of needlework, that we can look down on it and see the beautiful picture God made of our lives with all the knots, strings, and random mess that we had.
Here's to the beautiful embroidery of your life...in the process...and to better things coming soon for you!
Blessings,
Dawn
