Hyperstimulation?? - 2nd cyst rupture in 2 months, 6th time total

So last night I spent the night in the ER AGAIN.... with my second ovarian cyst rupture in 2 months.  I'm currently between doctors, which sucks cuz I don't have an appointment with the new one until a week from tomorrow.  I was SO upset when it happened - partly because I feel like my shot is blown for this month to get pregnant, and partly because I didn't want to go through all the pain and being laid up again.  At least this time I don't have mono on top of it like I did last time (internal pain with a fever is NOT fun!!)

This time they said I have MANY cysts on both sides - still waiting to hear back from my old sucky doctor on his opinion.  I'm concerned about hyperstimulation.  This is my 5th month on clomid but my first month on 150mg.  Last time I had the cyst it was when they bumped me up to 100mg.  Back then there were only 2 cysts.  Now I was just told "many on both sides" - plus some fluid in my pelvic region which indicated that one of them ruptured.

I'm so tired of this ****.  I was just getting some life back into me after recovering from the mono and previous rupture, now I feel like the life has been sucked out of me again.  I'm so depressed too, because I doubt I will conceive this month, but I'm trying not to cry because it makes my chest heave which causes me much more pain.  I can't take it anymore.

I just want to say im sorry you ladies are going threw this.  I will keep you in my prayers.  I also have a cyst on my right ovary, it was 2.0cm, dr told me not to worry about it.  Once i get back home from my vacation im going to have my primary care physcian schedule me an u/s to see if it grew or went away. Sometimes it is a shame when doctors say dont worry about it, i feel they should at least have women follow up with u/s to see whats going on with the cyst. I always tell my dr, if you wont prescribe it, i ll find a dr who will, im my own advocate and you(the dr) should be looking out for my best interest.  I didnt even no i had a cyst until i went into er for a missed m/c in june. Im hoping it is gone by the time i go back.

Last month I had to visit ER because I had a horrible abdominal pain caused by a gigantic  cyst on my left ovary of 9 cms, the doctors told me...that I had a cyst that was Hyperstimulated because I was having injections to stimulate my ovaries for an In Vitro fertilization procedure!....
I went to a very prestiged clinic here in La jolla Ca "Reproductive Partners" to have that In vitro, and the Dr. who attended me saw my cyst on my ovary before  we started the treatment;  and last time that she saw it on ultrasound; she said the cyst is growing but we are going to keep an eye on it....so she prescribed me anyway the stimulation inyections and boom! ...on only 4 days of stimulation, the cyst grew up gigantic ,causing me unbearable pain...like apendicitis pain style... that neither a stronger dosis of morphine could make it dissapear at all;
I had to stay on the hospital 2 and a half days with IV on my arm for pain killers, and  6 days of total bed rest... with "threats" from ER doctors that i was going to need surgery and will loose my ovary.

Conclusion--- Warning--Always when a cyst is discovered on the ovary  don't believe  your doctor!! is better to suspend the treatment and wait one cycle to see if the cyst dissapears by itself, but not start any stimuation with a cyst on the ovary because you never know how  the cyst is going react!  

Now I have to wait for months until slowly this monstrous cyst dissapears by itself to avoid loosing my ovary, and my new Dr. already told me that I should not try Invitro again, that I should better adopt a child....
let's see...I am not planning to give up....but I was close to loose my ovary for this cyst that my fertility Dr. ignored
