Can an ovarian cyst affect my ovarian reserve? (Ask The Egg Whisperer)

Zizi sent a question in to "Ask the Egg Whisperer," and here's what she wrote: "I am 33 and my AMH is 1.1. My doctor just told me I have an ovarian cyst. I was on letrozole for 2 months (day 3 to 7) and on the second month I also used estradiol valerate from day 10 until I got my period. My doctor gave me birth control pills because of my cyst. I feel like I've lost months of trying. Can the ovarian cyst affect my ovarian reserve?"

Cyst formation after fertility treatment is common. Whenever you ovulate, there's always a chance that your cyst of ovulation can carry over into the next cycle. When there's more than one egg ovulated from fertility meds this has an even higher chance of happening. It doesn't mean anything bad and it doesn't impact your ovarian reserve if you have a cyst or if your doctor starts birth control pills (aka fertility planning pills).

After about two weeks on the pills, and if the cyst is gone, you can start a new treatment!

Since you are 33 years old consider freezing eggs, embryos, or both. Remember that saying, "it's always nice to have eggs on ice." And, its also always nice to also have embryos on ice.

Your AMH is just fine. However, I want you to take advantage of your golden eggs. It doesn't matter how amazing you look on the outside. We know the reality is that as we get older, 100% of us will lose our chance of having a pregnancy with our own eggs. It's inevitable. Consider IVF to save embryos for future possibilities.
