Frustrated at body, just need to vent

I know I've complained about this a couple of times before, but... I went off BCP at the end of May. My periods seemed to be lasting a long time, but I was having regular 24 day cycles with about 11 days LP. By the mid-September, spotting plus AF was lasting about 10 days (out of 24--you do the math!) so I called my doc to see what was up. She sent me for an u/s, and finally in the middle of cycle 5 diagnosed me with a cyst. It was small, and said it would probably go away on its own, and indeed last cycle seemed to be better--only about 5 days including spotting. Well, this cycle, when we tried very hard to catch the egg (mutual timing has been an issue lately--DH is in school and I regularly travel for work--DH was so cute "I've worked SO hard this month! It's been AWFUL having to do this so often! I'll just hate to have to do it again!"), I started spotting on CD 15, what I estimate to be 3 DPO! It's just so frustrating, after I had such good CM and we timed it so well this cycle! How is the poor little eggie supposed to dig in if the evil AF starts so soon!
Anyway, my doc said if it didn't clear up in a few months, to call her again and we'd see about next steps, but I really don't want to loose months to BCP, even if that's the logical step. Irgh. Why did I spent so many years fighting this, and it's turning out to be so difficult to get PG?!
Thanks for listening. As sympathetic as DH is, he still can't empathize like you all can.
GL, and baby dust to us all!
