So I am just wondering who is the best person to manage our TTC at the moment.

I had a chat to a friend (thank you Bloom) about this, perhaps this is getting a bit too much for my GP? She wants me to continue on the same drugs next cycle, despite cysts appearing for the first time during the first ovulation on this drug. I am a bit concerned... it was a functional follicular ovarian cyst, basically a normal follie that got to about 6 cm and burst on CD15, releasing the egg (to where, I have no idea, FX into the fallopian tubes) and the fluid that came out irritated my abdomen and bowels enough to cause bowel colic (contractions of the bowels) and hurt like buggery.

Anyway, I don't know where to go from here? We aren't technically LTTTC, we conceived DD1 naturally after 12 full on cycles, have had 6 lazy cycles and 2 more full on cycles this time around. So 20 cycles and 1 conception, time for a FS or not?

I just don't want to have to experience a ruptured follie on the left side next cycle before my GP decides that our current drugs aren't working.

We also don't want to feel pressured or hounded to go down the AC path before we have really given TTC#2 a go naturally, but I am not sure if that can happen anymore now anyway?

The current issue being high prolactin inhibiting estrogen and progesterone. The GP suspects that we have trouble getting enough hormone to rupture follies, they grow nice but not sure if they actually rupture and release the egg. During the US at the hospital they also found cysts in the lining which I have never had before.

Wow if you got this far you deserve a medal .
