cysts on my ovaries caused by clomid

horseyk2001 · June 2012

I'm been trying to concieve for a yr, started seeing dr. in Jan that put my on meds to get my period going, then started clomid in Feb to get me ovulating. I've been on two pills per day every month and this month I had my first ultrasound to watch for how the follicles develop. Well they found out I have 7 cysts total between my two ovaries. They range in size but some are upto three inches! So now I can't do chlomid for at least 6 wks and have to have an ultra sound them to see if they've gone away on their own.

My question is who's had these, and how long did it take for them to go away. Also did you continue on clomid afterwards and has anyone gotten pregnant afterwards or during your months off clomid? So worried I won't be able to get pregnant! So bummed we can really try this month!

Oh and I've had cysts before that have ruptured and burst, do any of you know if you have a history of cysts before clomid, does this mean I'm prone to them and is there any meds that don't cause these?

I would ask your dr about injectable meds, they are suppose to be more like the hormones your body produces.

Also I thought you can only do clomid for 6 months only?

I would see an RE if I were you, if you have been TTC for a year with no luck, its time to go to the RE, you will be better monitored and prob put on injectable meds....

versace1008, thanks for your reply, sorry I'm kinda bad at catching onto things on here,, what does RE stand for?

That's good tips tho, I'll look into it!

RE is a reproductive endocrinologist, fertility expert, how old are you? if your over 30 and have tried for a year, I suggest you move on to an RE, they are better at helping you get pregnant than the OBGYN, you can ask for ob for a referral or look into RE's in your area?

Now I know! I turned 27 yesterday actually. I am at the point where I'm just super frustrated and sick of the waiting game! I am going to get a second opinion in August, but I'll defiantly look up some RE's, that's a great tip!

They both are basically FSH, whether your brain producing it (clomid/letrozole) or a synthetic form or it being injected directly into your system. Also see the FAQ/LINKS, lots of Clomid info.

I had a cyst left over from each IUI cycle and it resolved without intervention within one cycle. They are very, very common after medicated cycles. Good luck!

Please go to an RE! They can better assist you than an OBGYN. Usually OBGYN's don't really know what they are doing to help you get pregnant and hand out clomid like its candy without monitoring. They take care of the other end.....when you are pregnant! An RE is the more appropriate choice if you are trying to get pregnant.

Plus, be very careful with those cysts! Usually they take care of themselves, but I had one that burst. OUCH, was that ever so painful!!!!!

GL!

I was diagnosed with PCOS and then they found out I had 3 cysts on my ovaries...since I wasn't ovulating at all my OB actually had me on clomid for 2 cycles~waste of time but anywhoo...My OB said that they weren't anything to be concerned about and that they could just go away on there own. They actually went away but I was told that they could come back...we didn't worry about them and went to see an RE! Greatest decision we ever made...my cysts have never ruptured or burst and I have had severe cramps when I've had my cycles and heavy bleeding but as I was told that's normal when you do have cysts. Def should see an RE
