32, Pregnancy After Cyst Removal

[Jaxster27]

Hello. I'm looking for anyone with first hand knowledge of pregnancy after an ovarian cyst removal. I am currently 32 years old. When I was 26 I had an eptopic pregnancy that resulted in the removal of my right FT (still have ovary). Back in March of this year I was diagnosed with 1 cyst on each ovary. One measuring 10cm, the other 3cm. Both were removed laparoscopically on April 9th. Doctor was able to salvage both ovaries, which is a great thing. She just said that there might be minor scarring due to surgery but it was too soon to tell. As if working with only one FT wasn't discouraging enough, now I have to deal with the damage that may have been done by the surgery. My question is, how long after these removals is it likely that Ill conceive naturally; has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi Mama, thanks for the info. Was that your first child? If you don't mind me asking, how old were you at the time? Do you have any knowledge as to if your situation is commonplace? Meaning are you more likely to conceive immediately after the surgery? Had you had problems with cysts prior to that?

I had a large cyst rupture and hemorrhage last July 26th. I went for emergency surgery to get the bleeding under control. They removed cysts from both of my ovaries and told me if I wanted another child I'd better do it sooner then later. I stopped my bc pills immediately and conceived naturally on August 21. I just had my perfect boy on May 12.
