I wanted to know those anyone know if an ovarian cysts can stp you from getting preggo?I have a friend that had a cysts and she was preggo but she had a miscarriage in the process.My boyfriend is getting ready to come home in a couple of months and we have been talking about having a baby.I was asking cause I went to my OB GYN and he told me that I may have a cysts and he needs to do an Ultrasound to see how big it is.Thanks to everyone who responds.
I had a 13 cm ovarian cyst (5 inches). It was blocking my tube and had pushed my uterus to the side. I had been trying to get pregnant for over a 1 1/2 years. The doc that removed it said that it would have been impossible to conceive with that cyst in there. I got pregnant 5 months after my surgery, so he was right!
I had a cyst that was the size of a large grade A chicken egg. It grew so it was cutting off the duct between my kidney and my bladder. This was causing severe kidney infections and extreme pain that would drop me to my knees. Cysts, while a common problem are not something you want to mess around with. I had a friend who had one grow to the size of a grapefruit. She never had the pain I had because its was in a different location on her ovary. So hers was hidden problem for a long time. Aside from the fact that this cyst is sharing a blood supply from your ovary it is also sharing space in your body. Do you want this possibly pressed up against you're developing baby? Please, please, please follow your doctors advice and get it checked out before you try to get pregnant! My friend with the grapefruit sized cyst never knew it was there till her doctor said he wanted her to have an ultrasound. My doctor just kept treating me for kidney infections until he sent me for tests and found the cause. They can come in different forms, shapes and sizes and cause different effects on your body. And yes, depending on where and what it is it can even make it hard for you to get pregnant. Get it checked out now! The smaller they are the easier they are to take care of.
Good luck!

If the cyst gets too large (as in over 3cm in diameter), the concern is that the cyst will grow around the ovary, encassing it so to speak. It can also attached to a vein that feeds the ovary and rob it of blood and nutirents. So you don't want it to get so large that it strangles the ovary or interfers with its ability to grow eggs and release them.
Also, they can get quite painful...! I had one that was just over 3cm when it was removed and it had become a pretty constant ache.
I worked with a woman who discovered she had an ovarian cyst that had grown to (no kidding) 18lbs. She had to have emergency surgery (they cut her open similar to a c-section). Doctors were afraid it would rupture and she'd bleed out. Obviously, a rare situation but since you asked... I thought I'd mention it.
sorry to hear that yea he is right depending on the size it can couse a problem. If your trying to get preg maynow is the time to start getting your body in shape ( on the inside)for the baby. i know of a great all natural vitamin program if you like to know contact me
best of Luck
