Unfortunately I have never taken gnrh treatment so I can not be much
help there. To answer your other questions (in my non-medical opinion)
4)Removing a corpus luteal cyst will not affect your fertility.
5)A corpus luteal cyst is developed everytime you ovulate (reguardless
of sexual activity) When the egg folicle developes and breaks away from
the ovary it creates the corpus luteal cyst where the egg was released -
this cyst will release hormones that help in maintaing a pregnancy if
the egg would be fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized these types
of cysts should go away on their own. Of course like any cyst things
can sometimes happen where they do not go away (I also had this happen
and had to have it removed). Anyway the point I am trying to make is
that this alone will not affect your fertility.
