The question
Dear Dr.
On day 24 of cycle, ultrasound before starting IVF was found a 22 mm ovarian cyst and decided to postpone stimulation. The plan is to take one bcp daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break, then repeat the ultrasound. If the cyst has resolved, we will start stimulation. AMH is 0.97 ng/mL. Given my ovarian reserve, do you think 1 or 2 cycles in BCP is the right approach, or could the birth control pills suppress my ovaries too much before IVF?
Thank you for your opinion.
Kind regards
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
No! If used correctly, the BCP should not suppress your response.
Good luck!
