I'm also sure that your OB would have mentioned it if it was problematic; however, that being said I would still mention it at your next appointment for clarification. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1630550 Tue, 13 May 2014 07:17:41 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1630550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkBee: right... I was 15 weeks when I posted this! I'm 23 now. Cyst is still there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1630531 Tue, 13 May 2014 07:02:52 +0000 PinkBee 1630531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: From my understanding it's normal for the ovarian cysts (CL) to keep growing while your ovaries are producing progesterone. Once the placenta takes over at 10-12 weeks the cysts should start to dissipate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1630495 Tue, 13 May 2014 06:06:08 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1630495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: it's normal to have a corpus luteum cyst immediately following pregnancy: the ovary that you ovulate from turns into one and produces progesterone. Your RE will measure it at your 6 and 8w ultrasounds. It's supposed to shrink over time.</p> <p>Mine never shrunk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1630345 Mon, 12 May 2014 22:52:32 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1630345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Glad I found this post. I had some short, throbbing pains on and off today in my right ovary. Mildly painful, but definitely noticeable. I took a couple Tylenol and it went away immediately. I didn't call the doctor because I've already called them about 100 times since we found out a week ago! Everything has had me on pins and needles. Sounds like maybe this feeling in my ovary is normal (?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1480273 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 11:44:59 +0000 lamariniere 1480273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not but my coworker did when she was pregnant. I can't remember all the details but she did have to have surgery to have it removed, she was about 4 months pregnant. Everything went perfectly during the operation and recovery was very fast. She delivered her baby with zero problems on time. I'm just relating the story because, even though she was definitely worried, everything was just fine in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1479715 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:59:42 +0000 rattles 1479715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an ovarian cyst and a uterine cyst during pregnancy, which is relatively unsurprising given my history of them. The doctor wasn't concerned and it didn't affect the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1479707 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:55:08 +0000 CottonCandy 1479707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one and my doc said it was nothing to be worried about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1479635 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:06:49 +0000 daniellemybelle 1479635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Fallopian cyst the size of a grapefruit before I got pregnant. No one seemed concerned during my pregnancy but they removed it when they did my C section. I don't think it was necessary to remove it - honestly it's a teaching hospital so I think they were giving them the opportunity to practice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478621 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:43:04 +0000 skipra 1478621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They saw a cyst on one of my ovaries (I don't even remember which one) on my first ultrasound with this pregnancy. Said that if I felt achy on that side it was probably that but not to worry. I'm 31 weeks now and haven't heard a thing about it since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478600 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:37:15 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1478600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I ovulated from both sides! It was a clomid cycle &amp; for awhile, we thought we would be having twins! </p> <p>My RE said we got pregnant from the egg on my left. That CL cyst is long gone. I've still got a 3cm one on my right, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478575 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:31:50 +0000 MK0180 1478575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Nope - but, I went into the ER on a Friday and I already had a scheduled u/s the following Monday or Tuesday (can't remember). If I didn't already have an appointment scheduled I would've definitely made one. My Ob/gyn didn't seem too concerned and I was told what I needed to look out for (severe pain, fever, chills) which, thankfully, I haven't experienced :) This was also reiterated to me at my 12 wks. I freaked out a little (thanks, Dr. Google) but so far, so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478526 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:21:31 +0000 LemonLong 1478526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a 4.5 cm one with my first. It didn't cause any issues and was gone by the time I gave birth. I have one this time too, but it's much smaller and they weren't worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478512 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:17:26 +0000 Weagle 1478512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. My OB said it's very common to have one on the side that you ovulated from, and you may feel more cramping from that side. She also said that most of the time they resolve themselves. Mine went away on it's own. It wasn't mentioned after my first ultrasound, so I don't know how long it took. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478447 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:02:50 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1478447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MK0180: wow! Did you have additional ultrasounds for the sole purpose of monitoring the cyst size? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478400 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:45:34 +0000 MK0180 1478400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I had two (one on each side). My left one was likely the egg that was fertilized and small. I did injectibles and I had 3 mature follicles. The right one was around 5ish cm. The cysts was discovered at my 6 wk u/s with my RE.</p> <p>At 10 weeks I experienced severe right side pain - it was almost as bad as when I had my ectopic last year. Went to the ER - ultrasound showed the baby just fine. While they couldn't say for certain that the pain was caused by the cyst it was what they deduced since they couldn't really see if I had kidney stones (cat scan would have been needed) or other issues. They gave me some meds to ease the pain, I took a couple of tylenol and had a heating pad for a couple of days. At my 10 wk u/s with my Ob she looked at it and she said it looks like it was collapsing. At my 12 wk they looked at it again and mentioned the size but said that as long as there was no extreme pain then it should go away on its own.<br /> Since 10 wks, I have not had any pain that intense. I had random pinching from time to time but nothing severe. It wasn't even mentioned at my 20 wk u/s.<br /> Hope you don't have this experience, but, your doctors will/should monitor it every time you get an u/s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478373 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:34:39 +0000 googly-eyes 1478373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and my OB said its not unusual! Before t first appointment I worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy, but they did an ultrasound at 6w+ and it was just a little cyst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478316 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:17:47 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1478316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had small ones on both sides but they both were gone by 20 weeks, I believe. I did have a bit of discomfort that I recognized because I'd had cysts before and knew that pain. I don't know how big they were to start with though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478309 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:14:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1478309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a softball sized cyst on my right ovary at my 9 week ultrasound, they were concerned about the size (slight discomfort, but I was put on pelvic rest so it wouldn't twist) it was about 1/2 the size at my 20 week, and was almost gone when I gave birth. </p> <p>A coworker had the same thing, but her baseball sized one was discovered at her 20 week U/S and she had to have immediate surgery while pregnant because of the size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478245 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:59:31 +0000 Alivoo01 1478245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a cyst during my early ultrasound, and the technician said not to worry about it. It did end up working itself out and disappearing at subsequent ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478233 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:56:43 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1478233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I saw the measurements on the screen but forget what they are. She mentioned it could be the CL cyst, which isn't too far off. I ovulated from both sides; I had a CL cyst on my left, but that cleared. </p> <p>I want to say it was 30.--mm (that's how they measure, right?) and it was 3cm at 8 weeks. I did an online CM to MM conversion (i suck at math!) and it's 3cm. So, no change!</p> <p>It doesn't HURT hurt. I'm aware it's there at times &amp; chalked it up to RLP. The tech said it was likely the cyst causing the pain, based on my symptoms &amp; how I explained the location of the pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478229 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:55:48 +0000 travelgirl1 1478229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is dealing with this right now, I think she was meant to see her gyn this week so I'll ask her what the outcome was. She had the same cyst during her last pregnancy and as far as I know it didn't cause any problems at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478193 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:44:45 +0000 MaryM 1478193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did the tech tell you how big it was?</p> <p>I had two on my left ovary that were 4+ cm. My OB said one was most likely from the corpus luteum sealing back up (instead of deflating) after the egg was released. The other one was probably causes by hormones related to the pregnancy.</p> <p>I miscarried, but the cysts were in no way involved with that. but since the pregnancy ended, one disappeared on it's own and one shrunk considerably. I go back in a month for a follow up US to make sure it's gone. </p> <p>My OB said they're completely harmless, and they only worry about them if they get larger than 5 cm and/or are super painful. </p> <p>I had "twinges" off an on, but not any constant or horrible pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cyst-in-pregnancy#post-1478149 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:34:58 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1478149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had anyone had a cyst during pregnancy?</p> <p>I had an ultrasound this last Monday &amp; the tech noted I have a cyst on my right ovary. I looked at my records from the RE and at 8 weeks, they noted a left corpus luteum cyst normal in size and a clear cyst on my right ovary. </p> <p>I've noted some throbbing/dull achey pain on my right side for some time now. I thought it was round ligament pain!</p> <p>My OB hasn't said anything &amp; I'm confident someone would have called if there was an issue. </p> <p>Did you have a cyst during pregnancy? Did it resolve itself? Did it cause slight discomfort? </p>
