Starting again Plans for IVF no.2

So doctors appointment yesterday with my new doctor a woman this time round makes a big change after 3+years of a male doctor.
First I want to make things clear,
I'm pretty trusting of my old doctor (although I have some small doubts)
Basiclly everything he did was acceptable in my treatment,
But I want someone who is willing to try new things not just stick to the same old,and someone who trys a little bit harder and is more thorough in the process,more blood tests etc.
And the 99% factor of why I'm not continuing with him is because he changed to a clinic with a bad reputation and my own instincts told me from once I went there that they just aren't right.
Now I'm back to the clinc where my first ivf was supposed to be,
the clinic with the best reputation in the country and I have the doctor with the best reputation.
Now there isn't many to choose from,
Its a small country and there are 3 clinics in my city (the capital) and there are about 3 clinics elsewhere in the country.

So what went down.
I had a few tests done will get the results back on July 2,
I have a cyst which is 2.5cm.
I'm not too surprised as its just 11 days into the cycle after failed ivf cd10 at the time of the ultrasound it could be worse.
My ovaries seem to have gone down in size and everything else is ok,
Except my lining is really thin but we think thats coz the cyst is eating all my estrogen so I can't get ready to ovulate or grow my lining.
I'm trying to get rid of this cyst naturally like I did last time and if not we'll see what happens
whether I need medications or not.
I'll probably have to take progesterone for 10 days to bring on a period then when I'm 21 days into the next cycle I'll get a shot of medication called dipherline and that well put me into down regulation as this time we're doing the long protocol (agonist) So that puts me at starting stims in somewhere in August.
I don't know everything yet but I know she also wants me taking some extra meds to improve quality of uterine lining and something to bring down my immune system to encourage implantion.
I'm excited and motivated to try new things
It just sucks I have to wait to start but I know its better to give my body time to heal.
I just wish it wasn't so financialy tough to wait we're now stuck here til Mid september like it or not with no income.
Anyways thats all I have for now.
