Ovarian cyst - scared- trying to get pregnant

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!

Hi,
I recently were told that i have an ovarian cyst on my right ovary i was afraid at first but after visiting a gyneocologist i  was okay i was taking pills to get rid of the cyst the big one has gone naturally but i have small cysts around my right side and next month i will do some cleaning to get rid of them, ovarian cysts are common with women so no one worry just get a check up and get them removed ASAP after that u will fall pregnant see a specialist and discuss your situation but this is normal and common im going to do my operation and try for a baby then, but my advice have some cleaning done after your cyst dissapears because the remainings of a cyst can cause a miscarriage dont risk it. the reason it is hard for women to fall pregnant with a cyst because it blocks sperm to make its way to the egg so once you get rid of them u will be all clear, stay on the pill and see how u go.
Goodluck

Hi ladies, I'm 23 and I had my first kid at 16, and experienced a very pleasant pregnancy. At the age of 20 I had an ectopic pregnancy and had 1 tube removed ( due to the tube being damaged). Then at 22 I had to ovarian cysts. The first was 12 cm and very painful. Had it removed via laparoscopy and 6 weeks later it refilled and worsed than ever. This time laparoscopy was impossible due to my scarring and had to resort to surgery, I have very bad adhesions. I am now married and trying very hard to fall pregnant (trying daily)!!!
Has any1 had similar and managed to still fall pregnant???
