cyst after clomid, pain today and it had now doubled in size

Ok so I posted the other day.  Brief history... Surgery March 2006 for Endo, Fibroyds, cyst on right Ovary, clomid Late March, US on Monday (day 12 of cycle)showed another cyst,  pain in pelvic region and right side with right flank pain and nausea.  Went back to doctor today (day 15) and recieved another US, doctor states that cyst has almost doubled in size.  To return 1st day of next cycle for another cycle.  My question is how long does clomid continue to stimulate? Concerning for it to double in two day.  Is it common to have flank pain along with cysts?
Thanks

Does your doctor feel that the cyst was caused by the clomid? What cycle days did you take it? 5-9? Day 12 is pretty fast to develop a cyst (according to my doc).
If your pain level is really bad, talk to your doctor about what his plan is. At what point would he remove it? If you are unhappy w/ his decision, get a second opinion.

As i stated before i took clomid the cycle i had my cyst to...luckly we did not wait once it started growing to remove it. As it turned out, it was two endo. cysts that don't go away w/ your period as functional cysts do.

However, if you can stand the pain, do the watch and wait. Surgery is not plesent and recovery is tough. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.  He does think that we "overachieved" with the clomid. I could tell that he was a little surprised with the results.  He put me on Torodol for a few days for the pain. So hopefully we can wait and watch.  Don't really want surgery again considering I have has 3 of them since October.  But I guess I will do what I need to do.  I really do trust my Gyno he is my second one and has been a god send. Thanks
