From what I understand - yes. All true cysts must be resolved before IVF commences. It is normal to have multiple follicles-in-waiting at the start, but not cysts.

I went thru my first IVF attempt last month and on the initial ultrasound they saw a small cyst on one of my ovaries. The nurse said we were fine to go ahead with the cycle if my bloodtests showed that it wasn't producing/responding to hormones, which it wasn't. My cycle ended up being cancelled after 2 weeks of stims because of low follicle production. After every ultrasound/bloodtest I'd ask about the cyst and they said it never changed and they weren't concerned about it. I go for a new ultrasound/bloodwork on Monday, to start this round of IVF, so I'll see what it looks like then.

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies ladies
I know cyts are very nasty things.Actually my !st cycle was also cancelled just after 6 days of stims.My E2 level was very high so i was under the risk of OHSS.
The follicles were left immature due to stopping of the stims and they eventually turned into cysts.
I am on BCP now and hoping it would take care of the cysts and start my 2nd cycle when the cysts are clear
