I think it depends on the cyst. I believe that most go away on their own. I also think that cysts are very common right before ovulation. When I went for u/s before IUI they usually saw a cysts or 2 but were never concerned.

I had IUI in early Oct. I ended up with some ovary pain because I had a couple of cysts. I think they usually go away on thier own but sometimes they stick around. What meds are you on? That could be why!!

I would have my doc check the cyst again just to be sure it's shrinking. Some go away on their own (I had one when I was pregnant that did shrink on it's own). But some can be dangerous, and can rupture (which is incredibly painful!), so check with your doctor. Hope you are feeling well.

A lot of cysts go away on their own. Some burst and can be very painful and can also leak fluid. Some need to be removed. I seemed to have a lot more pain when I had more follicles. I wouldn't over worry about it especially if the dr thought it was okay.

I took clomid for 2 months and I have developed cysts so large that I am being forced to take a break from TTC. They checked my ovaries before ovulation (cd14) and then because of the cysts, they did a "baseline" u/s on cycle day 2 the following cycle. The cysts were still there and large. She said if I would have started clomid, it would have encouraged them to grow and would have caused major health problems. I would recommend a baseline ultrasound if this cycle doesn't work for you, because they should shrink back down after ovulation and when your period starts.

I've been fighting two cysts for over 3 months now. Yes, they do usually go away on their own. Mine unfortunately have not. I too, would ask for another U/S. I have had 5 U/S since having mine. They have been checking them every cycle. Hope everything works out for you.

Yes, they go away in about two weeks. Right about when you think it cant get any worse and the pain is so bad you have trouble standing and sitting then it burst.

I feel for ya! I get them too.

Mine went away on it's own. Not sure if they all do or not, but I hope you feel better soon!

FWIW, I had a 4 cm cyst after my first IUI cycle. I had to cancel any stimulation for my next cycle. Then, about CD 9, I had this chocolatey brown discharge all of a sudden, which happened to occur on the day I saw my new RE. He thought it was the cyst rupturing, and sure enough when he did the US, the cyst was collapsing. Mine at least didn't hurt at all when it ruptured.

As the other girls have said...for the most part there is really nothing to worry about unless they dont go away or they are causing you A LOT of pain.I have had two cysts(both at diff times) about the size of a softball.I had to have them removed cause they wouldnt go away.And the cycle before this one, I had one about the size of a tennis ball(about 5cm)and that one went away all on its own.Hope this helps!
