Clomid-induced ovarian cyst

[Guest guest]

hello all-

 

looking for herbal advice. i have an infertility patient who went off birth

control about 4

months ago, and began taking Clomid last month (unfortunately). she didn't get

pregnant, but it has given her an ovarian cyst (and therefore high estrogen

levels). so she

is unable to take Clomid this month and would like herbs to resolve the cyst but

not

interfere in case she happens to get pregnant this month. she is 35 years old,

with kidney

yin xu and liver qi stagnation. i did notice her pulse became slippery 2 weeks

ago, and

she developed a thick white coat on her tongue. normally her pulse is thin,

thready, with

the Ki yin position vacuous.

 

i have the next 2 weeks to treat her with herbs, before she starts Clomid again

next

month. however, she is now on Day 9 or 10, and i am unsure whether it is safe

to

transform & drain the damp post-ovulation, should she conceive.

 

my thoughts for formulas wre Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan as well as a " modern " formula

called Xia

Ku Hua Tan Pian (see below) that may be more phlegm-resolving (considering the

phlegmy

signs). i understand that GZFLW is classically for treatmetn during pregnancy,

but this

isn't exactly during pregnancy. ideally the formula would help both the cyst

AND her

fertility. is this possible? if standard cyst-resolving formulas are unsafe in

the case of

conception, is there a formula that would boost her fertility but not aggravate

the cyst? or

would it be sort of pointless to treat her fertility only during the latter half

of the cycle?

 

the ingredients of Xia Ku Hua Tan Pian are: xia ku cao, dan shen, huang qi, yi

yi ren, bai

jiang cao, zao jiao ci, kun bu, xuan shen, huang qin, chen pi, xiang fu, bai

shao, dang gui,

rou gui, and xu duan.

 

thank you, experts!

 

best,

fiamma
