Hi Ladies! I'm a lurker from TTTC. I had hoped to start a new treatment cycle this week, but we found a cyst on my right ovary during the baseline ultrasound. I'm bummed, but I realize that my body needs a break every now and then. In hopes of staying positive, I thought I'd see if any of you had success stories from your own forced break cycle? TIA!

Re: ? from TTTC'er: success during forced break?
First let me say, I know how you feel. ((HUGS)) I was forced into 2 breaks, 1st due to travel and I was not able to be monitored the 2nd due to a cyst.
My success came after my cycle break due to a cyst, also on my right ovary. The next cycle we went on to move from Clomid to Femara w/ Follistim injects. At that time my right ovary reacted like a champ! I ended up with 2 wonderfully sized follicles (which is why we decided to go onto IUI).
Try not to stress out too much and use your time to reset and recharge!
GL! I remember being told when I was forced to break about someone else who got pg after their break...I hope this is the case for you too! T&Ps

I did not get pregnant while on a forced break from cysts after taking Femara for the first time. However... the Femara cycle I had immediately after being on the BCP pills for the cyst was the only treated cycle in which I appeared to ovulate and have a clear *chance* at being pregnant. It didn't work -- I didn't get pregnant then -- but in the end it was good to know that my body actually could ovulate at a somewhat predictable time for once.
That being said, I did have a surprise BFP last month, during a break, while saving for IVF.
Yes, this is true. I was getting ready for IUI#1 and on my u/s they saw four very large cysts on my right ovary. They told us we wouldn't be moving forward with the IUI due to this. DH and I were completely shocked and surprised when we got our BFP on this cycle. There is more in my Intro below.
