IVF Causes Cyst?

Hi Ladies,
I need some help, I just got bad news that I have a cyst. After waiting FOREVER for A/F to start so that I could start my next IVF cycle I went in for my first FSH and Estridol and they said that the Estridol is slightly elevated at 106 and that I have a small cyst. I am assuming it was caused by my last IVF - M/C, chemical pregnancy. What caused this? I have never had it before. What makes them think waiting a month is going to make any difference? They said I have to wait another month and see if it changes. Arghgh!! I am so upset right now. Sometimes I just want to give up and throw in the towel.

I am so sorry you have to wait. I am not sure if IVF causes cysts. I get them too, but did before all the fertility treatments.
They are probably waiting to see if it goes away on its own. A lot of the time they do.

I don't think it's from IVF either. For some reason after any cycle you can have an "ovulation cyst" (is what my ob calls them). They either happen or they don't, but your Estridiol does go up and you do have to wait. I'm sorry sweety:( We never want to hear that some stupid fluke is postponing our chances of motherhood, but just know it happens to most of us and we usually never even know they are there. It will be gone next month I know it! Good luck and enjoy your holiday

I am sorry that I do not know anything about this, but I can help you by saying to stay positive, be strong and have patience. It is a very, very long process and I used to be in a hurry all the time to get in and have treatment to become pregnant as I felt my time was ticking away. Now, I have learnt that a month or two here or there really doesn't make too much difference in the whole scheme of things. We are having an indefinite break from treatment at the moment as we have been at it all year and I know that we will try again later next year when my DH and I are ready (mentally). Everyone's body reacts differently to treatment so try not to worry too much. I hope this helps you a bit.

I had a cyst on my right ovary which caused them to remove the entire ovary and the fallopian tube...and it just happened naturally unfortunately AND I was young AND healthy AND I went on to have what has become a very healthy and very obnoxious 13 year old boy :o) I had an US a few weeks ago and I had a cyst on my remaining ovary but that was just the ovulation cyst that typically goes away on it's own every month. I didn't know that having one of these would cause a delay though? That really sucks! I don't understand why that would make them wait....

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
