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!

hey everyone, i am 18 years old and was just diagnosed with 2 ovarian cysts. 1 on my right and 1 on my left. Each and everyday i feel like less of a woman. I wake up very tired, stomach ache,moody,diarrhea, sometimes headaches and just feeling not like myself. My boyfriend of 3 1/2 years and I have sex and it is painful. You have no idea how hurtful this is to me that the most romantic thing can be ruined by a little thing like this. I cry everyday wondering if i will ever be better or if i will have these pains for the rest of my life. I look every single day online to read forums,information and solutions on how to help. i have gotten counseling,many doctor appointments and talks with my mother. My doctor recently put me on birth control to help get rid of my cysts so i hope and pray everyday that it will help me..god bless everyone

I am 27 and my husband is 31 we been married over 2 yrs and we are ready to have a baby . I would give my right arm to get pregnant . But its never happened for me . I've read all the forums of girl that are pregnant and don't feel connected to there babies and I cry . It has been a emotional rollercoast. I feel like less of a women cause I can't make this happen . I have a cyst on my ovaries and I recently had a tubal infection .I want to know if I have any possible chance of ever bring a beautiful gift into this world. My hope is fading.

A while back i had bladder infection en due to the severity of it my GP reffered me to Radiology for scans. Then it was founf that i had a complicated cyst on my left ovary. My GP then scheduled an appointment for me with a gyn. I went for the internal scan and it was founf that the left cyst has dissapeared but in the mean time ive's developed 2 cysts in my right ovary whereby the one cyst splitted in two. I'm currently on provera 5 for 10 days and there after should start using contraceptives. I was so terrified when i heard the news as i've always wanted children but wanted to wait for the right time. My gyn informed me that i also need to go for a follow up scan within 6 weeks to determine the way forward cos i might have to go in for surgery should all 3 cyst still reflect. I just don't think it's fair...all the years of my life i've been doing the right thing and cleary it wasn't right enough.

I would like to know whether anyone encountered the same problem and what impact does it have if/when you decide to start with a family. My fiance is extremly chuffed about the idea of havng a baby but now i'm just worried that should i fall pregnant now...i might stand the chance of having a miscarraige...please HELP!!!

dont worry to much I had several cysts on my left ovary and 1 on right before I had my daughter.... I actually had one rupture a few months ago and that hurts like hell but I know for a fact that you can get preg with cysts.
