Referring to your description, I assume that your gynecologist was trying to perform “in vitro” fertilization. But stimulation with Repronex (FSH) probably caused too many follicles (14) to start growing. Eventual ovulation of all those 14 ovarian follicles after receiving the HCG-shot would cause ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) which can be a very dangerous condition so doctors had to stop the procedure.


The ovarian follicles that remained now act like functional follicular cysts. They are producing high doses of estrogen hormone that prevents any new follicle from growing. They act as a natural contraceptive. New ovarian follicle growth and ovulation will be prevented as long as those ovarian follicular cysts are active. Functional ovarian cysts are usually active for a few months. You may not have a new ovulation in the next 2-3 months but you may expect irregular bleeding from the womb to happen.


LH surge, that happens right before ovulation happens, is caused by increased production of GnRH from the hypothalamus and that is probably triggered by the sudden decrease of the estrogen level right before the ovulation.
