Ovarian Cyst And Pregnancy

Hi guys!
I have one son, who is 17 months old, and
my husband and I are thinking about trying
for another baby.
When I was pregnant with my son, my
obstetrician casually remarked to me, 'oh,
do you know you have a cyst on one of your
ovaries?' when I said no, he just said it
was nothing to worry about...And I didn't
at the time. However, now I am thinking
of trying for another little one, his
words have come back to me and I am
worried.
Does anyone know if having an ovarian cyst
can make conceiving more difficult? Are
there any risks associated with it?
Thanks!

If your doctor didn't seem at all
concerned about it, you shouldn't be
either. You concieved your son and had no
problems with that, right? More than
likely you had that cyst then.
If you serach the internet for the term
ovarian cyst, you'll get varying degrees
of conflicting reports - so it would be
best to ask your doctor about your
situation.
Good luck with #2

is your inability to get pregnant pcos
related or is it ovarian cyst related?
Because pcos can cause you not to get
pregnant. Have you spoken with your
doctor about other treatments that are
available?

ovarian cyst are not a major cause for
infertilty and pcos is. Pcos is much
more severe than just an ocassional cyst
that burst on thier own anyway. Her Dr.
Would have told her if she had pcos.

Isn't it true that ovarian cysts are quite
common and some women get a cyst every
month that burst on its own?

Thankyou for your replies - I know i'm
probably being silly and worrying over
nothing but it's something that's come
back into my head and is bugging me. I
guess I should go and speak with my doc.
I suppose I just feel so lucky to have my
little boy that I worry I can't possibly
be blessed twice!

Yes I have been to the doctor and under
treatment for this...Pcos is polycystic
ovarian syndrome...Cyst of the ovaries
look it up...In does cause infertility
because a cyst can produce hormones that
mess your hormones up causing insulin
resistant etc look it up....Anyway the
cyst caused my progestrone level to go
down then I would miss a period they gave
me medroxyprogestrone to make me a period
more often then I would ovulate....So just
get it checked out if the doctor said its
ok then I guess its ok everyones
circumstances are differnt good luck
