Hello, I have a question for an infertility doctor. I started my first IVF attempt on August,18th with one endometrioma and one blood cyst of 5mm. However, doctor was ok to go ahead. On day 6, I have my first u/s showing one follicle of 20mm plus other small ones. Cycle was canceled and dr. told me to way until I get my next period for an ultrasound. Protocol was: 10 days BCP, then 5 days of gonal f (300mg) at night and 150mg of menopur. I am on day 26 after my first day of inyectables and not IF yet. I always have my period every 26 days and I am 38 years old with NAC and 10.7 FSH. I would like to know if this is normal? Can I have cysts? How long do I have to wait? Thank you, Lorena
Hi Lorena. When treatment is initiated in women with some amount of infertility issues, the treatment can lead to a change in the usual cycle duration and length. I don't think this should be a cause for cancer. As for cysts, I am sure at least one ultrasound of tour lower abdomen should have been performed by now, and the cysts would have been ruled out then. But if you still wish, and ultrasound conducted at anytime can help rule it out. Irregular cycles, inter-cycle bleeding, etc.; are some symptoms. Best wishes.
