Re: Cyst growth stopping or delaying a cycle?

Well now I feel better............talked to my OB/GYN today. He has
prescribed some basic progesterone and also approved an US. He doesn't
think there is anything to worry about but since I have not ever cycled
like this before, he doesn't have any problem with me doing an US.
I have had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I even feel silly for
worrying at all knowing that PCOS could cause me to be super wacky but
since I was just acting more wacky than normal, I felt it needed to be
researched further.
Thanks for everyone's support.
