Ovarian Cyst

[Deni_b]

Hi there,
I have just had a transvaginal ultrasound and they have found that I have a 2.5cm follicular cyst on my right ovary.  It contains some calcification which could possibly be a small dermoid cyst.  There are no lesions to suggest that however. The word "calcification" scares me.  My Dr wants me to have another ultrasound in a month's time to see if the cyst has grown or gotten smaller.  Do I have anything to worry about??  Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I was on the pill as well.  You know, I havent been on the pill since the birth of my eldest son, and he is 12 years old.  The only reason I went back on (and this might sound stupid) was because we were going on a holiday to Fiji and I was going to get my period smack bang in the middle of the holiday.  Now, there's no way I was going to have to deal with that (because I get it quite strong) while I was on holidays.  So the Dr prescribed me the pill.  I started spotting between periods.  She said that it was just the pill and if it didnt settle down within 3 months, to go back to her.  Well, you guessed it, it didnt settle down.  So she sent me for an ultrasound.  That freaked me out because I was expecting her to change my pill.  Well, all things happen for a reason.  They found I also have fibroids (which is no surprise as my Mum suffered the same) and also found the cyst.  So all this because I went on the Pill!! The good thing is that they know what's there now and will monitor things, and that makes me feel better.  Ahh the joys of being a woman!!

Linda, Thank you so much for answering so quickly.  You have made me feel much more at ease. Lots of different scenarios go through your head when cysts are diagnosed and you tend to panic, especially when you have 3 kids to worry about.  Once again thank you so much for your opinion.
