I took clomid for 5 cycles but ovulated only once and didnt get pregnant. I had an ultrasound after the 3rd cycle and found a cyst on the right ovary. As the cyst was small they continued with the clomid for two more rounds. But I didnt ovulate. So my RE changed my treatment plan. I took prometrium for 10 days and got periods after stopping it. I had my baseline ultrasound on cycle day three. Again they found a cyst on my right ovary and they put me on BCP for 11 days. On 12th day I had another ultrasound but the cyst was still there of the same size. So my RE said it might be the same cyst that I had 4 months back .RE said either it might be cyst hanging out on the ovary or on fallopian tube. I had an HSG earlier and my tubes are clear. RE said this cyst won’t get affected by the stimulation. So she told me to start on the follistim. I am confused now , because I stopped BCP and RE didn’t wait for the periods to come. She asked me to start on the follistim on the third day after I stopped the BCP. Is this correct? Should I wait for the periods to come before starting the follistim? If I don’t wait will I get periods while I am on follistim? It would be a great help if you could answer my question. Thanks in advance. Annie Hi Doctor,
