I am TTC and have done 5 cycles of clomid, I took a break this past cycle, which was 56 days long.  I went for a CD2 baseline ultrasound and they found a 5cm cyst on my right ovary.  I wasn't surprised as I had the dull ache on that side.  They will not do any fertility medication until the cyst goes away. 


I was prescribed Aygesting 5mg.  I am supposed to follow-up in 30 days to have another ultrasound. 


I've tried researching the effectiveness of progestins in shrinking cysts but I haven't had much luck.  Does this usually work?  The journal articles that I read only mentioned that the people in the studies had a minimum of a 15mm cyst...mine is 50mm.  So, I can't seem to find the effectiveness of the medicine on a larger size cyst. 


Also, since I now know that there is a cyst there, the dull pains that I have been ignoring are getting my attention.  I have taken 2 doses of it so far and I have had a few episodes of sharp pains--which I had not had before.  I'm not sure if the medication is doing this or if it is just me paying more attention to it? 


I just want this cyst gone so I can proceed with my infertility treatment plan!!! 


Thanks!

Welcome to the board serendipity.


I can honestly say that I have no experience with the progestins and cysts.
