i've known several women who didnt have TD and had ovarian cysts. I'm hyper, but when I was euthyroid and had a partial hyster they found a cyst on one of my ovaries via u/s, but it was gone in two weeks. I never would have known it was there had they not done an u/s before my partial.

In my family our cysts are all when we are hypo.
   I suspect it is due to the slowing down of the pituitary gland releasing TSH and the FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) so when both are on the fritz you get a thyroid that doesn't trigger itself properly to release the hormones, nor the ovaries from the FSH to trigger the release of the egg. (not always at the same time as many people who are 'normal' have ovarian cysts too)

There does seem to be alot of us with cyst issues.  There just had to be a link somewhere!!

Although it is interesting it's connected to the TSH level.  I must really go through my records to see where my TSH was when my cysts were discovered.  

Sorry to hear you went through such an issue with your endo...some of them are quite clueless it's scary!!!  Good luck on the search for the right doc!!!

hi, Thank you I will read that acticle. As I was reading other peeps inf it seemd to be true that there is a connection.

also I need to post all my labs to see if you all can help me my Endo Dr. *****. the last appt he told I am know Hypo give me rx for Levothyroxine never told me to stop taking the Inderal. I got really sick. A friend of mine is a ER Dr and told me to stop taking it. after that I felt a bit better my tsh went to 67.50 boy was a sick. He did call me one time and up meds to 125 MCg my last test showed normal ranges  not sure if I should still be taking 125MCG.
Need to find a new Dr. Right now I fell better then I have in a year. My brain is not in a big FOG. any how thanks for the support.

Hi terri...
It seems there is a connection between hypothyroidism and ovarian cysts.  I saw an article online and it states that similarities between TSH and bhCG levels can stimulate ovarian cyst growth.

The article can be found at http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/795877-overview  Nearly at the very bottom of the page is a subheading "Causes" and I refered to the 3rd point.

It is an interesting connection.
