On IVF treatment, cyst on left ovary. Prescribed microgynon pill. Will it reduce cyst size?
Patient: hi, i have been in ivf treatment and at the point of starting the medicine doctor realized that i have a 4cm cyst in my left ovary . he told me i can not start ivf treatment and he gave me Microgynon pill to take for a month. i am wondering if it helps me to reduce the cyst or not?i was waiting for starting ivf treatment for a long time and now this happened to me and i couldnt start that. i am really upset and worry about this situation. Doctor: hello madam, well since you have got a 4 cm cyst in the one of the ovaries ,getting gonadotrophins now for IVF may increase the size of the cyst. Well this may be a follicular cyst that may dissapear by the next cycle. you can just leave it and do a scan on day 2 of menses next cycle.alternatively you can also take the pill prescribed by your doc for 1 or 2 cycles and then do a day 2 scan to find whether the cysts persists or has dissapeared.either will help.the latter helps by suppressing your ovarian cycle and thus the impact of hormones on your ovary. i think you have got your answer. good luck
