cysts - sorry kinda' longFrom: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 14 Aug 2003 23:14:51 -0500 (CDT)
Hi all, I was diagnosed PCOS about 5 years ago, but have only been actively treating it off and on. My question, when I was first diagnosed I was Rx'd Clomid by my OB. No glucophage or other similar drugs. She continued to increase the dose wach month because my cd 14 bloodwork did not indicate ovulation. Well, by the 6th month, I ended up in the ER one night because I had what turned out to be a monsterous ovarian cyst rupture (everyone concluded based upon clinical presentation after the fact). Very painful and very frightening! Anyways, I went to the RE and started glucophage and a much lower dose of Clomid. Unfortanately I did not conceive and because of financial issues we opted to discontinue the infertility treatments and be on our merry way. During the time I was on the CLomid and glucophage I experienced one other ovarian cyst that ruptured (again, based on what I described). Well, that was 4 years ago and I have recently decided to take charge of my health and am back on glucophage and have worked my way up to 1500mg daily over the past 6 months. However, last week I awoke in the middle of the night with the same symptoms of a cyst rupturing. My question, I assumed that the cysts were aggravated by the clomid, not the glucophage and that hopefully, the glucophage would decrease the PCOS. Could the cysts be more related to ovulation (I think I ovulated this month)? Or is this a PCOS thing and I should be grateful that I didn't have it happen in the past 4 years? UGH!
