Big Cyst

A cyst can prolong ovulation from arriving and this is unfortunately why...not likely you ovulated sooner than expected...many REs just recommend to not check or do anything until menses arrives, indicating that the cyst is most likely gone...

So the chances of catching ovulation and/or getting pregnant this cycle is slim to none?

I think it just means that ovulation will be delayed in coming. My RE discovered a large cyst on my right ovary last month & put me off meds so it could go away on its own. I had been O'ing around CD18 to 20 on the clomid & did not O this cycle until around CD40-at least that is when my progesterone symptoms kicked in, I did not do OPK's this month.

I'd be curious to hear what Dr Q has to say about this also....

Best of luck to you!!

I always ovulate at the same time, my cycles are so regular it's scary LOL... So besides the fact that it just throws me completely off if the cycle is a loss I would like to know, ya know lower my stress level a bit... And again I hate guessing. I don't want to waste the time or money on ovulation predictors if it's a lost cause. Still awaiting Dr. Q's response to my last question....

Hi Dana, Long time no talk!! I am really sorry you have the cyst...I also took this past month off. If I'm not mistaken, did you do injectables last cycle that caused this cyst? Because I did injectables and have a cyst as well, so that is why I cant do injectables this month. I am waiting for AF to show, so I can start again. How about you? Dana, don't spend money on ovulation predictors right now, just BD every other day to be safe:)

Same scenerio as you exactly. We talked before about this I believe. Your cyst was 25mm. I recently asked about mine and it's 27mm. I'm just confused. Because since ovulation is going to happen so late does that mean my period will be just as late? And I was very curious about if pregnancy is really possible, Dr. Q didn't make it sound like it really was. Like basically just wait for your period and start over. I think I'm just completely stressed out because I know in my head that I'm only doing one more round of injectables and IUI and if it doesn't work I'm just going to be heart broken. I still will do Clomid and a trigger I think to better my chances later but I can't afford to keep doing the injectables and IUI'S...

Dana, I have done a LOT of research on injectables and usually the work within a few cycles. They are better/stronger than Clomid per my RE. Just try to relax, I know u don't want me to say that LOL:) You will get pregnant again soon, you were preg before, so you know it will happen again. Just do injectables again and try to relax yourself,because that helps too!!!!! I know how you feel Dana, I get really anxious all of the time about this. This past month, i didn't worry as much because I wasn't doing injectables. Just focus on getting AF, so that you can track your ovulation:)

So do you know if my period is going to be late because ovulation is SO late?

And yes I know my chances are very good for pregnancy. I guess the added stress is because I know this is my last round of injectables and IUI for awhile. I guess knowing that freaks me out.

But I guess there isn't much I can do at this point but to wait on AF. I just wish I knew when to expect it.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!! I got a nice BIG positive on my OPK about 5pm last night! We got right to it! LOL

LOL, Have fun!!!

We did! LOL... Now a few more days and we should be covered! I hope!

Good Luck!!!

Dana, I am so glad u got a positive on the opk!! See, u worried for nothing!! Sending lots and tons of babydust:)

You and me both! I hate the fact that I'm such a worry wart but I got that trait from my mom I guess. She is worse then me. Now that I have caught ovulation it's not longer up to me, I have done what I can at this point. When is AF due for you? I think we may be on our next injections/IUI cycle together this next round again. I think I'm due somewhere the week of the 9th of June. I don't know how much ovualating a little later is going to throw my period off... However my cycle is like clock work so I can't imagine too long.

cant wait to hear about your BFP this time around dana!!! It can be hard to pin point ovulation with a cyst so good job!!!

I had two more day of tests left. I wasn't buying anymore. I have one test left now. So we will see if we can luck out naturally this month. That would be nice. I could save the money I have already saved for my last injection/IUI cycle. It's up to god at this point I believe. Fingers crossed. I'm still soooo happy for you Chelsea. There have been a lot of BFP's lately. Hopefully in a month of so there were will a lot more! :) Come on Carolyn, we got this! LOL

Hi Dana, I'm so sorry to hear about your cyst. The same thing just happened to me today. I got a BFN on Friday and went in for U/S today and they found a cyst so I can't start meds. I'm so sad as is expected, right? So it sounds like you can give me some insight. I was going to call the dr. this week but you can give me a heads up. You did use opks and got a positive but it happened much later than normally? I appreciate any advice you can give. Even though I can't do meds I don't want to call off this month completely. Lots of luck with everything this month, I hope it works for you!!! **BABY DUST**

I was going crazy because I always ovulate on Day 12-14. I didn't get my positive until Day 16. It was definitely positive. So we BD'd on Thursday night (Day 16), got home from work Friday and had an even more positive test 24 hours later. Well an hour and a half later I was ovulating. I could feel it. I had about 26 hours from the time I detected the LH surge to when I ovulated. Luckily we BD'd on Thursday about 10pm. SO timing was perfect. We will see. About the cyst I'm not really sure, mine was really big. About 27mm... So I did ovulate late but if you don't have problems ovulating on your own then you should too. No one told me that my ovulation would come later because of the cyst so I wasn't expecting it. I say for sure to use your OPK's. If I had not, I wouldn't of known I was going to ovulate until when it was happening. By then I would've most likely missed my window. So my best piece of advise is to use those OPK's...

THANKS so much for the info :O) Lots of baby dust for you, I hope this is your month!!!!!

Thank you, I hope so too! It would save lots of money :) If not back to do my last injection/iui cycle. Lots of babydust to you as well. I really hate the waiting game!
