A member asked:

Is it a good idea to take clomid (clomiphene) while i have an ovarian cyst?

Dr. Victor Beshay answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: There is a risk that Clomid (clomiphene) can further increase the size of the cyst causing more problems. It is best to wait until cyst resolves to start clomid (clomiphene). Best wishes.
