ovarian cysts during first trimester pregnancy

Due to an irregular cycle my doctor sent me along for a dating scan yesterday. During the scan they found two cysts on my right ovary measuring around 5cm... she didnt seem too worried but my doctor has since called to ask me to come and see her regarding the scans.. I do get a bit of occasional pain on my right hand side from time to time but nothing too serious. Just wondering if anyone else has had cysts during their pregnancy and what it meant for you? Thanks!

It is very common to have ovarian cysts during the first trimester and some even go until after the birth of your child. Most cysts do not cause harm to the baby or pregnancy, and almost 100% of women with an ovarian cyst can go on to having a full term pregnancy and healthy baby.

Hello, Ovarian cysts mostly are not treated during pregnancy unless they’re large enough to cause pregnancy complications. Large ovarian cysts measuring 6 centimeters or more are removed surgically preferably during the second trimester and that too through laparoscopic surgery. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.

Each case has to be looked at separately. If your doctor says your risk is that high then having it removed sooner rather than later is the best thing for you. I know there have been quite a few other women that have come through here who have had cysts successfully removed during their pregnancy. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you now. Good luck and I hope all goes well.

I think there is a risk of rupture and twisting and also if the cyst gets too big it might interfere with the pregnancy. On the related expert forum for ovarian cancer (below right) do a search on cysts in pregnancy and there are some answers from doctors there that might help you decide.

1) ovarian cysts are pretty common during the early stages of pregnancy and in the vast majority of cases are benign. Cysts usually "go away" on after a few weeks but if the dont, the doctor might consider options but only if the cysts are large (usually 5-6 cm) or cause you pain 2) its possible, but there are other reasons for multiple cysts too 3) it would be unlikely, but not impossible 4) not sure about this one. When is your next doctors appointment?

Has anyone had an ovarian cyst while pregnant in the first trimester? If so, what did it feel like and how did you fix it?

Well, in November I was hospitalized due to a painful cyst on my left ovary. Well somehow in December I managed to get pregnant because I got my first positive pregnancy test on January 17th I've had three more positives since then but when I thought I was 7 weeks we went to get an ultrasound to see the heart beat but to our surprise it was too early I was only about 5weeks and we only seen a yolk sac. Is this possible? Am I really pregnant?

I'm in Canada, and I was told because I'm low-risk the only ultrasound will be between 18-22 weeks, which is forever away. They do genetic testing in the first trimester, but even that is optional and offered again in the second trimester. So I guess it's all where you live, city/state/privince/territory general practices.

When you ovulate, your ovary releases an egg and once the egg is fertilized and implants, that follicle sustains the pregnancy by releasing hormones until the 2nd trimester where the placenta picks up. What can happen is the follicle (the corpus luteum) can fill with fluid or blood and become enlarged (cyst), this is very common in early pregnancy.

Even a faint 1st line means a positive test result. Ovarian cysts can be triggered by a spike in hormones, usually during ovulation. However, not to scare you, ecoptic pregnancy pains closly resemble ovarian cyst pain in the beginning. Please go see your obgyn to test for pregnancy and tell them about your pain. Good luck!!

I think possibliy you mean ovarian cysts instead of ovarian fibriods as fibriods are assoicated with the Uterus and ovarian cysts are associated with the ovaries.

I have had numerous ovarian cysts in my life. They are a normal occurring thing that happens to all women. I'd be willing to bet if they scanned 15 women 10 of them would have a cyst.

Now had they known I had a 6cm cyst before I got pregnant I believe they would have suggested removal. I was monitored more frequently by ultrasound during the pregnancy but it never was an issue. I also have heard of people who have a typically successful surgery between 14-16 weeks of pregnancy to remove large cysts if they become a threat. Bottom line - yes, you can have children despite having ovarian cysts.

Any mom's have experiences with ovarian cysts during pregnancy? I haven't been diagnosed with an ultrasound yet but with my signs and symptoms I'm pretty sure I have one. I get stabbing pain in the same spot, near my right ovary a few times each day with certain movements and activities. 5 weeks tomorrow but I had the pain long before I was pregnant. From what I read they're fairly normal and insignificant?

I forgot to mention my grandmother died at the age of 34 of ovarian cancer.

It makes NO difference if he ejaculates or not, you can still get pregnant. Take a pregnancy test with first morning urine, and you need to start using condoms and birth control until you're ready for children.

OB will check me for the first time Tuesday. And she is head down the only thing is my menstrual cramps were really bad cause of ovarian cysts. But it was always worst when I tried to walk it off.

t believe your dr gave you clomid if you hae pcos.

About 8 or 9 years ago (when I was about 27 or 28) I had been told (after a transvaginal ultrasound prescribed due to painful periods) that I had a few small cysts. The lab technician told me that they were most likely blood cysts from endometriosis. She said that it was pretty common and not to worry about it. I was however on the pill the pill at the time and therefore shouldn't have had them as I hear that the pill is one of the way to treat this condition.

The staff at the early pregnancy unit didn’t seem concerned at first. They said cysts are normally just pushed out of the way by the growing baby. I was referred to a consultant 4 weeks after. The laidback attitude changed when I saw the consultant. He put so much fear into me. He said there is a change (like with all cysts) it could be cancerous and the cyst, along with my ovary has to be removed.
