If by blood workup, you mean all the important hormones for ovulation, then you are not menopausal.

AS far as ovulating and the ovarian cyst. IF the cyst is gone on sonography, it's gone. Period.

AS to the seraphene (known to most as Clomid), depending upon your weight, 100-150mg may be needed. In extremely overweight women, up to 200 and 250mg may be used. If no ovulation on that, the need to see a reproductive endocrinologist is apparent for more complex therapy to aid in ovulation.
