Hi,
My name is Pat I was just Dx with 4 cyst 2 on each ovary all b/c of clomid that i was taking for infertility and over stimulated on it, thanks to this Re dr that didn;t montior me closely enough while i was on it. I was dx with these cyst on Dec 1 2004, I was wondering with the size of the cyst and all shoudn't my dr be checking me regularly to make sure they are not growing or anything, he made my appt for Jan 4th 2005, i think that sounds way to long to wait what do you think? I have started having alot of pain on both sides of the ovary areas, this has been going on for about 4 days now and feel so bloated, Now is that something i should be worried about. Do i need to find another dr to monitor these cyst for me, My dr acts like it is no big deal to him, so i am alittle confused on that, i have given the size's of the cyst at the bottom, The dr talks like they are huge and my ovary is way way bigger than suppose to be due to the fact of these cyst, Can anyone pleas ehelp me please, i am a 32 yr old female i do have endometriosis i just had a surgery in march of 2004 for that problem ( excision surgery) Any advice for me ANYONE? and please feel free to email me at ***@**** with any advice on this PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out I have a cyst on my left ovary.  The doctor made me go three cycles before another ultrasound was given.  It showed the cyst was still there, and now she's sending me on to the surgeon.  Mine has caused horrible pain!!  I wouldn't wait too long because in my opinion there is nothing like the pain from an ovarian cyst!

I would speak with your doctor and tell them you are uncomfortable with their monitoring of you, make sure they know what kind of pain you are in.  In September 2003 I had a cyst removed on my left ovary that was 7cmx6cm and incredibly painful.  Not until after my surgery did my doctor really let me know how much trouble it was at that point to remove.  I'd had it for at least 3 cycles, with my pain increasing almost daily.  Make sure you relay how much pain you are in, they don't know unless you tell them.

Pat,

It would all depend on the type of cyst, did the Dr say?  If it they are simple cysts, they usually go away with ovulation, if they are complex, they do not, I would think that he is waiting a month to check you again so that you'll be thru 1 full cycle.  The biggest  of the 4 seems to be about 1 1/2 inches, right? I do have a friend that is monitored for cysts on both ovaries as well, but she goes every 3 months.  I believe she has 2 on one ovary and 1 on the other.  Her MD said as long as they do not change she's going to leave them.    

I do feel however, if you are uncomfortable with waiting, call the Dr and ask why he is waiting a month.  If you are not happy with his answer, get a second opinion.  Good luck
