Ovarian cyst - scared- trying to get pregnant

[mommamia8]

I just turned 31 yrs old and have always been quite healthy.  I have a two year old and we had just started trying for another baby this month. Recently, I had some back aches and a lot of cramping so I went to my doctor and they did an internal ultrasound.  I just got the news yesterday that I have a cyst on my left ovary and they need to do a followup ultrasound in 6 weeks to make sure it hasn't grown.  I am so scared- I don't know what to think.  It just seems like a cruel joke that we waited for the 'right' time to try again for another baby and this happens.  I had no problems prior to this- is this caused from stress on my part since I have been anxious to get pregnant right away? We didn't have problems with our 1st boy - one time and it worked so I just thought it would be just as easy.  Does anybody have any reassuring advice on cysts?  Should I continue trying to conceive before my next ultrasound or should we wait?  Will I have problems in the future conceiving because of this.  Will the cyst stop me from ovulating and having my period?  The reason being I am scheduled for my period today and I still haven't gotten it yet and have been having a lot of white thick discharge.  Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!

I am dealing with the same thing. My doctor said most likely its Endometriosis. I am having surgery in a couple of weeks but I am so afraid that I wont be able to have kids again and it seems that nobody can answer that. I hope your surgery goes well. My sister in law had a cyst removed but they had to remove one of her ovaries as well and she still had 3 kids naturally. Good luck

Hi Ladies! I am 24, mother of 1. I found out that I have a large cyst on one of my ovaries. So large they arent sure which one its growing on. I have been upset about this for almost a year and it is time for me to have it removed because it just keep growing. I keep serching online.. looking for someone to talk to and someone to give me some hope. I have always been such a healthy person and cant seem to understand why something like this would happen. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has had the cyst removed and been able to have more children. I fear the unknown.. Anyone out there PLEASE let me know.

yes, cysts can stop your period. i have have cysts on both ovaries, with m left ovary having more. i have done may ultra sounds and sometimes they go away and then the pain comes back and there re-appear. i am 25 years old and i had horrible pain, i was diagnosed with Polysystic Ovarian Syndrome. i worry about having kids and how it will affect me and my gyno also said there is a possbility that i may have twins, etc due to the cysts. i hope that when im ready to have a child i will be able to.

I have a 6 year old daughter. I had her in high school. Soon after I had her I was trying to have another baby but nothing was happening. My periods started to be irregular. So I went to visit my doctor, she sent me to get a ultrasound done and found out that I had a cyst on my left ovary. She told me that If I took birth control bills it would go away. I found this out about 4 years ago. I never got regular check ups because I trusted my doctor and she said that it would go away when I took the birth control. Just last week I went in for a check up and found out that the cyst on my ovary didnt go away. It grew to be larger then a softball, so next week I have to go into surgery to remove it. There going to cut me like a c-section. Im scared I never had surgery done before, they just want to make sure that it doesnt burst into a bunch of little cyst. I'm also scared that I won't be able to have anymore babies because there will be scarring on my tissues. Can I get some advice. I would like to know if I will be able to have babies after I remove my cyst even though I have scarring on my tissue??

I am almost 26 yrs old. When I was 18, I was told a small cyst of 2.5cm would go away on its own. When I was 22, I went into the ER with severe pain, and they found my cyst had grown and ruptured, and I was pregnant, with no Feotal heartbeat. They sent me home, and I had to walk around with a dead baby inside me for two weeks before I could get an appointment to have it removed. In 2009, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and had it removed...They found my cervix had already gone post-menopause and had to cut out the bottom of that to get to all the cancers. NOw, after being in pain for months straight, I had an ultrasound yesterday, and the cyst on my right ovary is now very large, and I get very scarce periods. I also have very high levels of tissue on my uterus and right ovary. Despite trying to get pregnant with my Husband for the past couple years, we have had no success. Does anyone know if I have any chance of getting pregnat? And if so, will I hold the baby? I see my Specialist this coming Monday, but am very anxious, and would like to be prepared for the news to come.
