hi, i have been in ivf treatment and at the point of starting the medicine doctor realized that i have a 4cm cyst in my left ovary . he told me i can not start ivf treatment and he gave me Microgynon pill to take for a month. i am wondering if it helps me to reduce the cyst or not?i was waiting for starting ivf treatment for a long time and now this happened to me and i couldnt start that. i am really upset and worry about this situation.
Hello madam, well since you have got a 4 cm cyst in the one of the ovaries, getting gonadotrophin now for IVF may increase the size of the cyst. Well this may be a follicular cyst that may disappear by the next cycle. You can just leave it and do a scan on day 2 of menses next cycle. Alternatively you can also take the pill prescribed by your doc for 1 or 2 cycles and then do a day 2 scans to find whether the cysts persist or has disappeared. Either will help. The latter helps by suppressing your ovarian cycle and thus the impact of hormones on your ovary.I think you have got your answer. Good luck
