Raar need some advice on clomid, a cyst and ovulation??

[Woob]

I posted this on the LTTC section, but no answers so guessing nobody knows the answer. Thought I'd repost here...

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what might happen here.
I've never ovulated once in the 18 months since stopping BCP - This is due to very low levels of all the key hormones (Hypothalamus gone into shutdown mode). Clomid 100mg resulted in no decent lining but a 23mm 'follicle' which didn't pop (probably not enough LH surge) and ended up being a 35mm cyst.

I went back for a repeat scan today. The cyst is now down to 17mm, but right next to it on the same ovary was a 12mm follicle (i hope). Until now they've never got to that size without medication, so this is progress.

If my hormones manage to do what they are supposed to, is it possible it could continue to grow and ovulate or will the cyst next to it prevent that? I'm not on any medication now until the cyst goes down.

Oh and also, my understanding is that follicles below 10mm often grow and then shrink, causing the polycystic ovaries. But once they get to 12mm they should be viable ones. Anyone know if that is correct?

Thanks, xx

I didn't want to r&r either but this seems like kind of a hard question.. I am not sure if you will find anyone here (unless they are like a doctor or major ttc specialist) who will actually know the answers to your questions.

You might want to call you DR and leave a message on the nurses line asking them. I see you are in the UK, I dont know if they have nurses lines but if you call your gyno you should just be able to ask them over the phone. That way you dont have to worry about going in and seeing him and everything. Just a suggestion.

Sorry I was not more help.
