conceiving after cyst removal

[boosty]

i know i give you guys a headache with sometimes repeating myself. my surgery is on the 6th of march to remove my 3.5 complex cyst. doctor said they might take out the whole right ovary. i have two questions
1. if they remove part of that ovary, can that same ovary still produce healthy eggs? or having an unhealthy pregnancy may occur?
2. after a surgery like this, i know your period might not be regular, and you still have a good chance of getting pregnant because of your other ovary, but less chance. how and when can i start trying to conceive AND HOW CAN I KNOW WHEN I AM OVULATING IF MY PERIODS WONT BE REGULAR.
i am 26 and i just wanna get pregnnat without all this headache like we all do . what and when is the easiest to try after a cyst removal which is a laprascopy.
3. does this surgery give you more of a chance to miscarry your first pregnancy?

I had my left ovary removed and I have had 4 pregnancy and 2 healthy children. I had surgery while preggo with one of my babies at 5 months. I has 2 miscarriage and a healthy lil boy after. God is good! I am now about to have a cyst removed off my one ovary, and attempting to conceive one last time.

I had a dermiod cyst as large as a man's fist. It was a surprise because it was only suppose to be the size of my pinky nail. I told the doctor if he could salvage my ovary then remove it and my tube do I have no future complications. They removed the left ovary and tube. I was given two years to make a baby with zero chances that I would grow anything on my other side. Well long story short I did not decide to do that. I waited longer about 4 years longer and now I have a baby boy. I did worry about growing another one but the fear of never being able to was stronger so I tried I focused on my ovulation calendar and sat up side down and that worked for me. Fast forward two years I met the man I was ment to be with but he is afraid he won't have the chance to be a father unless I get off of birth control and we start trying. I am going for another check up I am now 30 years old and have done a two year check up as recommended but I am nervous because when you turn thirty stuff starts changing, im probably facing hormone imbalances and I would recommend anyone to learn more about their body with their physician. Any way I have to let my significant other understand that this may happen even if I was pregnant and that is what led me to this sight but it's obvious I may have experienced more and I hope who ever reads this will find comfort about my experience.

you can start taking some natural products such as maca, ubiquinol, your one a day vitamin and eat right. Your eggs will improve in quality in just 3months  and you will be able to conceive at your age. I am also 42 with no child and I am not giving up hope. All the best

Katie! I've been through the same thing as you and I'm desperately looking to email someone about it who has been through the same thing. Could we email? Even just one or two? I really can't find anyone who understands what I've been through! My email address is ***@****. I would love to hear from you!

I wonder if you had problem with not having period after 2nd surgery and your fsh level increased tremendously? I had 1st lap done and dic said he hung my left ovary up and it looks good and 2nd surgery he remived 7 cm cyst long with some ovarian tissue.  He still left some ovary on abdominal wall..

i had a dermoid cyst removed along with one ovary back in 2001. my doctor said i may havetrouble getting pregnant again. i had a baby in 1999.  well in   2004 i had twins, healthy twins!   Now i am 3 months pregnant with twins again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So to that doctor, i guess i proved you wrong.  You can get pregnant with one ovary. i am living proof!!!!!!!!!!   i think with one ovary it does twice the work to make up for the missing one. not sure.  Good luck to everyone.

[MarieMichele]

Was this a laparoscopic surgery or was it open surgery/laparotomy?  If laparoscopic, probably about 3 months.  If the other type, probably about 6 months.  Why not call and ask the doctor's office?  You are entitled to ask them questions like that after a surgical procedure.

I hope you are feeling a lot better now that the cyst is gone!

Hi all, just found this site, i had a 5.5cm Dermoid Cyst removed on 5th Aug and they had to removed my left ovary..just wondering how long after can i try to conceive?
thanks

I had a cyst removed yesterday it was not bad at all im a little sore today but i was up walking around yesterday when i got home! im not sore where my cuts are at im sore in my belly! the doc told me the cyst was 11 cm but to find out it was as big as a cantaloupe. The surgery took a little over 2 hrs but in all im doing great!

[TrudieC]

After your surgery your remaining ovary will kick in and take over for the missing one within a few months.  Many women have gone on to have successful pregnancies with one ovary.  Your age should be your only limiting factor in fertility.  As far as when you can start trying, that is something you should talk to your doctor about.  Your body does need to heal but I don't know how long is required.  Good luck!

Oh, and should you have any further questions please start your own thread instead of adding on to a very old one.  You are likely to get a better response that way.

Easter 2005 i had surgery on my right ovary to remove a BASEBALL sized tumor. I'm going to be 30 this summer and I too still worry if I will ever be able to get pregnant. i haven't found the right guy yet, but with my ex we tried unsuccessfully. hearing your stories has given me some hope.
I wonder for the women who had lapro. if you too have some stomach saggage? my pooch didn't sag before surgery and now I'm so embarrassed about it...and one of my sutures took forever to heal.
does that medicine to help you ovulate really work(clomid)?
and what vitamin combo can i take to improve my reproductive organs?

also i've always had a nagging feeling since i was a teen that I might be barrin, any suggestions on how to reprogram my mind, cause i do believe that your mind controls your body...

[nikkidc]

I just had surgery on wednesday to remove cysts from my ovary and cervix.. I am so excited to know that I am finally going to get pregnant after 8 yrs. I have and 8 year old and she is truely a blessing from god and the next one will be as well! Well after my post-op app the doc will put me on clomid to help me ovulate and she says if we do not get preg with in a couple months then she will do IUI bc she does not want the cyst growing back! But We are so excited and I don't have my hopes up I am just putting it all in the Lords hands...Bc if it is his will it will happen!!!!

I know am nearly a year late on your question but I have just recently found this wonderful site.

To answer your questions, about partial ovary this is what happened to me.  Age 19 had left ovary and tube along with football size dermoid cyst removed.  Age 27 had 70% of right ovary removed along with softball size dermoid cyst.  Three months later I got pregnant with my oldest son who was born in 1988 and had second son in 1990. And I am sure medical advances are greater now than they were 19 years ago.

Best of luck to you

Dawn

I hope this information can help you.

My daughter has been through two invitros. She had to have both tubes removed and cysts removed from her ovaries. Her ovaries also were fused to her pelvic bone and they were surgically released to a normal floating position. The first innvitro didn't work and the second resulted in pregnancy but a miscarriage at 6 weeks. The doctor told her they thought this would happen because her eggs were not healthy looking. What? Anyone know about this and does anyone know how to make healthy eggs? Thanks for your time. CHRIS

[AnotherKatie]

Honestly you don't give us headaches, it's OK, we know how stressful this stuff is.

YES even a chunk of ovary can produce eggs, quite nicely thank you.  NO you will NOT have an unhealthy pregnancy, it has nothing to do with it.  

Your periods might be a bit wacky at first, but I guarantee they will settle down fast.  
Especially if you look after yourself well and try to remain calm.

To be honest, I don't believe fertility is as decreased as you might think it is!  You'll be surprised!  You can start trying to conceive when your doctor tells you to.  You need to heal properly and you won't feel like trying for a while.  

DON'T freak yourself out ... it's the worst thing you can do.  Relax.  Trust in a higher power!

NO this surgery does NOT give you a higher chance of miscarriage!  The two are not related.

I had one ovary removed in my teens.  The other ovary was also cystic and I had a piece of IT removed with the cyst a few years later.  I got pregnant six months after that surgery (on the remaining ovary).  No problems.  I didn't wait and I got pregnant again six months later!  I had a third child five years later.  Try not to let your mind go crazy.  Do some yoga or light exercise.  Do NOT smoke.  Take vitamins.  Eat really well.  Limit alcohol.  Maintain a proper weight.  Take control of the things you can control!  You'll be OK, you wait and see!  
Love and best wishes, from Katie

wow thank you guys soo much. i feel much better and pretty much all my questions have been answered. THANK GOD FOR THIS SITE!! AND ALL YOU GREAT HEARTED PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE TO HELP EACHOTHER. MUUUUUUUUAH TO ALL.

[PPhelps]

Relax, your body will adjust. I had been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years before my first Laprascopy surgery. (The surgery was for endometrosis.) I had all the tests done before surgery. But it turned out I was pregnant for that surgery. The doctor thinks the egg hadn't attached yet, that it was traveling during the precedure. My husband was worryied the surgery had harmed the baby. Everything turned out ok. I have a beautiful baby girl. I don't suggest doing it this route. I'm just saying your body will adjust to the one ovary. And you can have healthy children.

[AnotherKatie]

If that isn't clear, I meant to say, I had my first child, and then conceived again when he was six months old!  Oh yes they are close in age!
One ovary can work just as well as two... just like kidneys, etc.
Good luck!
