Ovarian cyst and pregnant

I tested positive on a home pregnancy test and then two days later I started spotting.  There was also pain on the left side of my pelvis area.  I went to the ER and the Ob/gyn on call did an ultrasound and found a corpus leteum cyst on my left ovary.  My question is Can a corpus leteum cyst cause spotting and still have a chance of having a normal pregnancy?

The ob/gyn did determine I was pregnant.  My hcg level was 69, although they couldn't find a gest. sac on the u/s.  She said the pregnancy might be too early to see on the u/s.  I have to go in for a follow-up appt tomorrow morning to see if my hcg level is increasing.

So did the ob/gyn determine that you were definitely pregnant when he/she did the ultrasound?  I only ask because I have a few cysts and got a positive hpt....but the hpt box says that cysts can cause false positives.  That's why I'm wondering if the ob/gyn confirmed your pregnancy in the ER.  Also, I've heard that you could still have a normal pregnancy with cysts....they just need to monitor them carefully throughout the pregnancy.
