The last few weeks I have had several symptoms of being pregnant… nausea, fatique, changes in my breasts, bloating, and just an odd feeling in my abdomen. If I am pregnant I would only be about 4 weeks. I had a urine test last week that was negative. I went to the doctor for my problems and they found several ovarian cysts on my right ovary. When I asked if they had any reason to believe I could be pregnant they said that because the cysts were so large they were unable to get a good look at my uterus. I have been on hormone treatments that keep the cysts from growing. I have read that many women begin growing them after conception. My doctor said that all my hormone levels are so off it would be hard to target the pregnancy hormone at this point. They told me to just wait and see. I have been calm about this situation because I know that stressing and worrying can cause me to miss my period… but I just hate not knowing. Is it really possible for cysts to hide a pregnancy

I was just told I have an 2 inch ovarian cyst on my left ovary and I only talked to the nurse and not the doctor yet. I was hoping to get a little information on this while I wait for my doctor to call.
My husband and I want to start a family and are wondering if this is going to be another obstacle we are going to have to get over.

Please give me any hope or information that you have, I would really appreciate it!

I was told by my gyn that I have POS. I used clomid for 3 months after taking med to bring on a period, but never ovulated. I had an exploratory hysteroscopy and he said that everything looked fine except for some small ovarian cysts which are normal. What can I do? I am running out of time, if I want to conceive.

I went to ER w/severe LLQ pain which then moved to all over abdomen. U/S & CT showed enlarged left ovary w/multiple cysts up to 2.7cm & 4.5cm. No diverticulosis (which was a ??). Nausea was from pain, no vomiting or D. No fever. WBC 13. Today, belly is very tender, bloated, slightly spasmotic like it was but much less. Pain has improved but is not gone. I ate food today and that didn’t affect pain. Previously, I had hysterectomy and Rt. ovary removed. I’m wondering what the chances are that it is/was a ruptured cyst…and if so, what the possibilities are of those other pesky cysts rupturing. Can you have OVARIAN HYPERSTIMULATION if you are not taking fertility drugs? I’m 43 and have had ovarian cysts in the past that were not this painful…and didn’t rupture. I had no other symptoms until the pain hit yesterday. It was worse than labor. I’m worried about it happening again (and it hasn’t gone away yet). Thanks in advance for your thoughts…
I saw my doctor yesterday..we’ll be scheduling surgery to get the ovary out. She said, "Its huge…its got to go!" Out with it! I feel better but still have some pain.

I have a 5.5-cm dermoid hemorrhagic cyst on each ovary, and they haven’t improved in the last 9 months, when they were first detected on ultrasound.

Should I have the surgery to remove them? I don’t want to screw up my future fertility in any way.

For the last couple months I’ve been having this pain in my lower left abdomen. It wasn’t all that bad until yesterday it hurt so bad I had to go to the ER. They were pretty busy so the doctor was in a big hurry and basically tried to tell me I need to poop more. After explaining how intense the pain was, he told me I needed an ultrasound. The ultrasound isn’t until monday, and the pain isn’t getting better. If anything, its getting worse. The pain is now in my lower back and hip area. It also sometimes feels like a nerve is being pinched in my leg at times. I don’t know what to expect. anyone have an experience like this?

Three years ago, i had a complex ovarian cyst removed. The Dr. did not remove my ovary, and informed me at the time that the ovary had not been compromised in any way. Also, he confirmed I didn’t have any other issues (ex. endometriosis, etc.). I just went to the same Dr. yesterday for an exam and he told me because of my operation, I am limited to the amount of eggs I have (basically, if I want to have kids, I have to have them in the next two years.). I am 31, and I feel what he said made no sense. Does anyone know if having a complex ovarian cyst removed compromises fertility? I’ve never heard of such a thing, and I haven’t had any problems since. He also asked me if I was seriously dating anyone and refernced marriage which I thought was completely inappropriate.

My period’s been pretty wonky for the last few months. It was light one month, heavy the next, and it’s about a week late this month. I’ve also spotted a bit in between. Beside that, my eyes have been dry, I’ve been having mild hot flashes, and I’ve noticed that my skin has become thinner. I’m only twenty-four, and I haven’t had any major medical procedures. I have a family history of thyroid problems. Would any thyroid conditions cause these symptoms? I’ve had ovarian cysts, too, if it helps.

Infertility doesn’t really bother me, but growing old before my time does. Please help.

Hi, may anyone interpret this medical terms to layman terms and advise if this is malign or non malign? What precautions or any advice for healing? Thank you.

My husband and I have been ttc for 1 year now. We are doing all the testing for infertility. This cycle I had a follicle study and was doing the OPKs. I never got a positive OPK so when I had my last appt with my OB she decided to do another vaginal ultrasound to make sure I released the egg. Well they found a 5cm cyst. Today, about 2 weeks later the cyst is 6cm. My doctor was out for the day and will be back tomorrow, but I am curious if anyone knows what they are going to suggest. I heard birth control, but I feel like that would be a step backward. Also I really want to do natural family planning after I have my first baby and don’t want to be on it.
Any suggestions?
Anyone have this problem?
Oh-the symptoms I am having are dull aching pain in my abdomen, and lower back pain. I have heard that I am not suppose to have sex until the cyst has shrunk or is gone, is that true?

I Just found out I’m pregnant. (5 weeks along) And something I am very concerned about, is that I have had ovarian cysts in the past and i have one on my right ovary as of right now (simple cyst) I am worried about Miscarrying or having an Ectopic pregnancy..Has anyone had/have ovarian cysts and gone through a healthy pregnancy (the first time) also What are the chances? I am definatly going to talk to my doctor in a few weeks when i’m due for my appointment but i was really concerned and thought I would ask your your guys’s insight as well. t

Like 2 years ago,I had a cyst in my right ovary. It gave me horrible pain to my side.I’m pretty sure its gone now since I no longer feel those pains,but I’m worried.
I have normal periods,and everything seems fine,but I’ve read that ovarian cysts can cause infertility.
Is there a chance I can be infertile?

A few months back my doctor told me I had a very small ovarian cyst on my left ovary (probably caused by my Mirena). They didn’t act very concerned about it and they didn’t give me any medicine for it. For months I’ve had minor pain there. I had my Mirena IUD taken out in July and since then I have been on the pill… which I also stopped taken last month.

I am just now having my first period without being on any kind of birth control. Anyway, when I took a nap this afternoon I woke up with terrible pain on the lower left side of my abdomen and then it started hurting the lower left side of my back.

Is it possible that my cyst ruptured? Should I be concerned or just let it run it’s course?

I would go to the doctor by I just lost my health insurance 3 days ago (figures) and it’ll probably be a few months before I can get it back. Help!

Thanks guys.

I’m also feeling nauseous. I’ve taken some pain reliever with no luck.

So I’m having serious pelvic pain. I thought maybe it was a bladder infection that I let go too long. I took one of those home tests, but it was negative.So the only other thing it must be my cysts acting up.
I’ve been to the Dr, but since it is my last ovary, they seem to be reluctant to remove it so I won’t go into early menopause, which I don’t want either.
But I’m torn; it really, REALLY hurts, and if I do have it removed, then I’ll feel like a wimp since the pain is too much. Plus the expense, and time off of work, and having to bother a friend for transportaion to the hospital ( then THEY would have to take time off of work, etc)
I just really don’t know what to do.
I’d really appreciate any advice.
Thank you.

I am 18yrs old and i just had surgery for the removal of a complex ovarian cyst that was larger than 13cm in diameter.
My dr said it is very unusual to have a cyst this large in someone so young and it had been sent for pathology tests. Is it likely to be cancerous?

Thanks
my surgeon thought she would have to take out the ovary but mnaged to keep it in. however, she is unsure whether it is functional and i need it taken out if it is painful. also, she thought she was going to have to do a traditional open cut surgery – like a c-section – but managed to do a laproscopy with very large incisions

Hi everyone – My mom called me yesterday because she was in the hospital and I am extremely worried. For about 2 weeks she thought she had a UTI because of pain while peeing and not being able to empty.. she doesn’t have insurance so she bought store bought UTI medicine that didnt help – the pain got so bad she went to the ER, had blood tests which came back fine – but declined a CT scan and US because of the insurance issue… went back yesterday morning with extreme pain again – did CT and US which showed a 9 cm midline cyst (the size of a grapefruit) – It is so big that it was blocking her urethra which is why she couldn’t pee and felt she had a UTI- she sees the surgeon tomorrow and OB and they are going to do a biopsy.. but I am just soooo worried and would feel better if any with experience with this could give me some straight forward facts if anyone knows anything about ovarian cancer. She had a hystrectomy about 20 years ago but they just removed her uterus and not her ovaries. Thanks.

I recently went to the doctor as I had this sharp sting pain in my left side and feeling like I have a full bladder all the time. My doctor sent me for an ultrasound which revealed a 4.5cm complex haemorrhagic ovarian cyst on my left ovary. I have to go for another ultrasound in 6 weeks to see whether the cyst has gone away or not. In the meantime my doctor has prescribed some pain killers for me and has put me on the birth control pill to see whether the cyst would go away. I didn’t really want to go on the pill as a few years ago when I took it I became very emotional, moody, had lots of headaches and had no sex drive. I discussed this with my doctor and he advised that the birth control pill I used back then was a very strong pill and that the pill he prescribed to me now is not as strong. I have found out that taking birth control pills doesn’t guarantee that cysts would never return again, but are there any other ways or options to consider instead of having to take the pill?

I’m suffering from ovarian cyst for two years now. Tried a lot of varies treatments but very little of them used to help (birth control pills and others). I don’t wanna have surgery ’cause I’m pregnant and I don’t want take any medication. Please give an advice of some good solution on the internet to cure ovarian cysts during pregnancy!
