Please guys I need your help ive been crying since come back from the doctors because I got my results back today from my tummy and internal scan and the doctor said im not preg but I have cysts on my ovaries and she said that I don't need treatment or anything for it. I have alwys had very light periods with clots in, they have been on time just few days late/early. In august when I last took the morning after pill my period was few days late and last mth I was nearly a week and a half late and it wasn't a proper period. This mth I have not had my period yet at all. Will this affect me getting pregnant and should I be having treatment or medication?
And the doctor also said that my blood test showed a high hormone begining with 'p' but don't know what it means.....?

A family member of mine had or has cysts (can't remember if they did anything for her treatment wise) and shes pregnant. Although they did tell her that it could affect her chances of becoming pregnant but that nothing was for sure.

Her dr adviced her to have surgery to remove the cyst before she tried to get pregnant which she did. Although she now has one on her left and right overy again which they didn't find out till after she was already pregnant. Her dr said that it shouldn't be a problem and that they'd just watch to make sure. So far her pregnancy has been just fine. Hope that helps. Good luck.

I am just about 21 weeks pregnant and I have a cyst on my left ovary (found out about it about a month or so ago) and my doctor is actually quite pleased that I have one, he said that lots of women don't get one, but the cyst produces a hormone that is very good for the baby (not so pleasent for me). It shouldn't affect you getting pregnant but if it is still around when you are then it is apparently good for the baby (i guess it's okay not to have one too).

Hi there candy,
i had similar problems. Back in july I was rushed to the hospital and turned out I had an ovarian cyst that ruptured. Believe me the most pain I have ever felt. Anyway the doctor gave me pain meds and told me the liquid should absord in the next few weeks. They had also got me on birth control again which I was taking like they wanted me to. I was on a birth control levlin I think where I was not suppose to get my menstrual for the next 3 months. Anyway while I was taking it, low and behold I got it. And it was 15 days long very heavy!! Before all of that I was very irregular or would not even get my periods. I think all because of the cyst. Well I was still suffering from the pain but dealt with it./ and in 9 I was rushed again, turned out again that I had several ovarian cysts that had ruptured this time. I was really sad and crying because the point of birth control is to prevent ovaries. So I was really upset it happened. They gave me a different kind of birth control, and told me that the one I was on must not have had enough progestrone. That may be the thing they told you. So the one they gave me I had to start out taking like 2 each day until the bleeding actually stopped./ ever since I started taking birth control my stomach was sooo upset, hurt really bad so I decided to stop and ever since then my stomach has felt wayyyy better. Some women are prone to ovarian cyst. Unfortunately the docs dont know why. But I had also asked if that can possibly lead to infertility and the look on my doc face was clueless because they really cant say, I personally believe eventually it can lead to that or endometriosis but as of right now my boyfriend and I have been trying since 9-24 and I believe I am... Good luck and keep strong, again listen to what your body is telling you not necessarily the docs...

Thankyou so much reading the posts have made me feel lot better because at least I know what my options and that is that its better to try now tha leave it for the future but do you think its going to affect my fertility if I leave trying for baby about another year and a half or do you think I should just start trying now because of having better chance. I get alot of pain on left goes right down to left side of pelvic bone, don't know if it could be the cysts but my doctor thinks so, I dont even know how long I hvae had it either.
