Cysts on Ovaries after IVF - Ghost???

Post by jt - ivf at 41 »

I have been experiencing some substantial discomfort since my ER. I do have OHSS - but went to my DR on Friday and he told me I have likely developed Cysts on my Right Ovary - which is causing this sharp pain on my right side. He did not examine me as I am on my 2ww, and did not want to distub anything - but offered to prescribe some painkillers like Tylenol 3!! I found this very odd - as I am hoping I am pregnant.

Anyone else have cysts on ovaries as a result of the treatment??

Ghost - have you come across this??

They are likely residual cysts leftover from the treatment. It is common and normal. I know that at your baseline ...that is what they are looking for. Like in my case ...I had IUI in Sept and in Oct with no break. When I went back in Nov for my baseline ultrasound they found a residual cyst and I had to sit out 1 month before resuming another IUI try. They go away on there own during that month. I do not know what that means if you are pregnant, however. Try googling residual cysts for more info....till Ghost gets here. Tylenol 3 is okay to take.

I agree with TammyS. Diagnosis is all up to your doctor, of course. Also, keep your clinic constantly informed of any changes in your symptoms.

Yes, very common to get cysts on ovaries after fertility treatments. I got 2 u/s done & my cysts were showing but the RE felt it would go away shortly, nothing to worry & it did with in a few weeks.
