What to do next

The cyst pain is back. It hit me last night around 2am, and it's been lingering for most of the day. I've also had weird spotting for a few days. It's day 16 or 17 today. I have not been having the mid cycle or any spotting reallly until period time for a while now, so this is weird and very much not appriciated. Especially when things are stressful and uhh...adult time....is stress relief. Today the spotting is barely there, and mixed with a ton of watery-ness. Connected with the pain, I'm going to assume it's cyst related. Or who knows what. I called 2 days ago in hopes to get seen for that dreaded (and very late) yearly appt, and for an u/s to check things out closer. They were requesting a copy of my ER records and suppose to be reviewing it with their review team before scheduling the appt. To see how rush this is, and if it's truly anything of concern.
I'm sick of waiting so I am thinking that I'll just take matters into my own hands, and start the herbs again on Monday. I have a bottle of the T&C which is the cleansing set. When I took that before, I did 3-4 months alternating it, and I believe that it helped a lot. I think it cleared up whatever issues were there before, and when I switched to just the hormone balance, I was feeling great physically and mentally. I need it, and I refuse to go on anything else medically speaking.
The only set back is I dread what they are going to say about the herbs when I do finally get the appt. Maybe I'll luck out and the cyst will be gone and it can help my case. I also wanted to meet with the doctor that I had for the study. I was hoping to get his input on what will be best if we decide to pursue another medical try at this. Part of me feels like I'd be ok being done and just moving past all this. It stresses me out so much just thinking of trying everything again. But then, part of me wonders if we're giving up too soon. When I was talking to the receptionist, she said I may be able to be re-entered into another study. We would have to go through a few rounds of bloodwork and tests again, but that it may be something I would want to consider.
I did like the fact it was monitored closely, and the fact it's totally covered and I don't have to freak out about copays was very nice too. But, I still don't know what med I was on. Or any idea how long it will take to find out.
Lots to think about..... For now, I'll just wait. And probably do herbs. Herbs can't hurt at this point...
