Something I read on another blog reminded of the regimen my RE had me on to shrink the 3-4 cm cysts on my ovaries. I started seeing this new RE in August of 2008. My last RE was ready to move forward with a $20,000 IVF cycle. No way in hell was it going to work considering the cysts. More on that story later.
The point is this: my new RE wanted to try this relatively new medicine regimen to shrink the cysts. He thought there was still a greater than 75% change we’d have to do surgery to get rid of them. BUT. The medicine worked y’all! I was on 2.5mg of letrozole and 2.5mg of norethidrone daily for about 6 months. I didn’t have any side effects to note either. However, since I haven’t read of anyone else doing this regimen in all my infertility-bloggy-obsessive reading, I’m scared. I mean, the meds worked to shrink the cysts almost completely, but what if the long-term effects aren’t known? Has anyone else used this regimen or know someone who did? What if I grow a big toe in my ear? Just kidding… well, mostly. 
Wow, I’m so glad for you that the cysts are shrunk! I have endo and had a lap in April, and though my RE burned a bunch of it up – she wasn’t able to get all of it… which is a bit frustrating! Are you going to TTC naturally or otherwise?
Oh, I’m dumb, I just saw in your sidebar aftr asking, that you’re doing IVF/ICSI this month! I’m doing my first IVF as well… anyway, wishing you stickiness !
No problem. I’m still really new to the blog world… I don’t think my “flow” works quite yet.
I’m on Day 2 of Lupron. ER is tentatively 6/22 and then a 3-day transfer. I’m nuts because I signed up for IComLeavWe starting on the 21st. Like I’m going to have time or energy to do all that commenting. Duh.
I visited your blog the other day… Stickiness to you too! I’ll be thinking of you this month!
