I have been being treated for an ovarian
cyst. I have had it for about 2 years and
sometimes it gets a little smaller and
then it just starts growing out of the
blue. The last time it was checked, it
was 4cm and my doctor was thinking about
taking it out. I told him I wanted a
chance to have a baby with my boyfriend
and we had been trying for 6 years now.
(i have 2 kids now so I know I wasnt
infertile before.) the doctor said he will
give me until august to determine whether
or not he will remove it.
Now for my real question. I ordered some
clomid and will start taking it before my
next appointment. Has anyone taken clomid
knowing they already have a cyst on thier
ovary? I know it can cause cysts but.....

Did your Dr. Prescribe the clomid for
you?? B/c I was on it for 2 months and
had serious side effects. I have a
history of ovarian cycsts but my Dr.
Wasnt very tenative and didnt do
ultrasounds like he was supposed to during
the clomid treatment. I had severe!!!!!
Severe!!!! Cramps for 2 days at a time
while on this stuff that was like ovarian
cycsts x 1000.... I had to quit taking it
bc of the side effects (vision changes,
cramps, etc.) if your Dr. Hasnt
prescribed you the clomid I wouldnt take
it bc you have to be examined a few times
throughout your cycle while on it and if
you have other problems causing the
infertility the clomid wont do a bit of
good....Either way...Good luck to
you....

Dr. Checkups Posted: 07-19-05 17:44pm
Well.....I have been seen by the doctor
about once every month for a while, then
he decided he would see me again in 3
month which is in august. He had me on
birth controll to try and shrink it but
mostly all it was doing is holding it at
one size. I decided to stop taking the
pill because I want to get pregnant and my
cycles were 3 times a month instead of
once a month. :cry: . Soooooo, I bought
this clomid on line through an on-line
pharmacy. I know its risky and it kind of
scares me but im at that point now where
its now or never, ya know. I'm 30 years
old :? I dont have good insurance so I
cant go to a fertility clinic.

Sorry been a while since I
posted....Anyways back to the clomid...
Most women are fine while on it...But it
can cause hyperstimulation of the ovaries
where your ovaries swell up 2x the normal
size and can cause problems... And they
dont reccommend that youre on it longer
than a certain prd of time... And (lol
sorry I hate the stuff....) i've read of a
lot of women that get that stuff
prescribed to them by a Dr. That doesnt
know any better...Thne a year or whatever
later they find out that they had a
blocked tube so the clomid wouldnt have
done any good anyways!!! I would
seriously consult the Dr. Before taking
the stuff. Also did you know that you
have to take it at certain times during
the cycle, etc??

The doctor said because I have cysts on my
ovarys that, that might be the reason I
havent gotten pregnant. He wanted me to
wait until this month to see if the cysts
have shrunk any. But......Every time I go
in there he says, well...Lets wait a
couple months and see if there are any
changes. Then the next time I go in he
says the same thing. This has been going
on for 2 years and I just cant play
anymore games. He said he could refer me
to another doctor that deals with this
kind of thing(reproductive) but ive heard
bad things about him and he doesnt
specialize in that kind of thing. You
know what I mean? I dont know. :?
But as far as the clomid goes, I looked up
the "how to take your medicine" online and
it game very good directions on how to
take it. So I have that accomplished. Im
just waiting now for my cycle to start. I
cant believe it, I waiting for my cycle
now and before this I always dredded
having it come. Isnt it funny how life
works.

ovarian cyst Posted: 01-20-08 19:14pm
I have been suffering from ovarian cysts
for 2 years now and i am truly sick of it!
Everytime I go have an exam it seems like
I have cysts. The cysts are painful and
have caused bleeding. I have been on two
different kinds of birth control, which I
am now questioning whether it could be
causing my cysts. I have more doctors
appointments coming up for the cysts, but
at this point I just want my normal life
back. I am now scared that my doctors are
missing something, especially since this
has been an ongoing problem. I am really
confused by my body and the doctors, which
is making it very hard to function in my
daily life.

Clomid Posted: 02-21-08 13:41pm
I used clomid and I had no ill effects. My
husband and I had been trying to get
pregnant for over a year. My doctor
discovered that I had PCOS and said it
would be nearly impossible to conceive
without assistance. I went from 50 mg to
100 mg to 150 mg. After the 2nd cycle of
150 mg I am pregnant!!! Praise God!!! I've
read many success stories but I guess
you'll have to try it for yourself to see
how it will effect you! Good Luck!

ovarian cyst and clomid Posted: 03-26-08 05:28am
I have been trying for a baby for almost 2
years and was told i have a cyst on my
ovaries.My GYN said she wants me to have
another ultrasound to see if it's
gone,otherwise she won't put me on
clomid.I already have 1 child so i know
i'm not infertile as my husband and i have
done all the relevant tests but i'm 37
this year and feel like i'm getting too
old! I've not had no pain from having a
cyst but does anyone know if it stops you
getting pregnant?
