I am not sure what you mean by terminal cysts, but on all my onther laps I have been told "You are a textbook when it comes to pcos" . Tajt is why I was so excited when the dr. told my husband that he did not see any cysts of any kind when he did the lap. I just thought this would help enlighten someone who might be vascialiating on whether or not to use met, I was alos excited because I had 4 periods in 4 months after not having has a "natural period in 20+ years Thanks for your help Anon
