Hey Jen, thanks for that I hoping really hard that this cycle is the one for you too!

I haven't spoke to the FS about the cyst - will do that next week I think - but from what I can gather it is not a really big one at 2.3cm and they reckon that most of them go away of their own accord, which is probably what mine is doing. I think they only biposy or surgically remove the really big ones. I am planning on asking for another u/s to check that it is getting smaller and not growing though, I'm thinking I would like to have that done before the end of this cycle. I don't know for sure whether Clomid caused it, but my instinct is telling me that yes it did. I reckon I didn't ovulate last cycle (I don't know if you remember, but I had a low prog last cycle at 7 DPO) and that the follicle has turned into the cyst. So if I'm right, there's no way I'm taking more Clomid - what a waste of time it has been

But I'm holding on to a tiny bit of hope that we just didn't see ovulation on the tracking blood tests, maybe we might just be lucky. But on the other hand the realist in me tells me that I may as well just prepare myself for IVF because that is more than likely what we'll end up having to do. Oh well, things could be worse I guess. At least we have IVF easily available to us, we can afford to do it, and it will increase our chances of success. We already have a gorgeous DD too, so at least we have a track record so to speak
