I had a huge cyst on day 3 of my cycle but lots of follicles so my FS pushed on yes it is true that the cyst absorbs a lot of the hormones out of my 23+ follicles only 6 were mature the FS just made my cycle longer 17 days insted of 10-12 and out of the 6 we had 5 fertilised and i am now almost 35 weeks pregnant so i hope it works out for you even though ideally you would respond better with no cyst.
