Characteristics of baseline ovarian cysts in clomiphene citrate ovulation cycles.
To evaluate the incidence and factors associated with ovarian cysts in infertile patients receiving clomiphene citrate (CC), we performed a retrospective cohort study involving 466 CC treatment cycles. Ovarian cysts are a common finding in patients presenting for CC, with approximately one in five patients having a baseline ovarian cyst >10 mm.
