Hi ladies:
Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this. I was diagnosed with a 5 cm left simple ovarian cyst about 6 weeks ago, 2 1/2 weeks after I miscarried. It was an incidental finding. The u/s has been reviewed by Radiology and a few others and there is no concern for malignancy. I do trust this. However, I went back to my doc today and she says she can still feel it. For me, it is asymptomatic even with sex. She says it would probably be better to wait to TTC until it resolves or I have it removed. I forgot to ask her why? Obviously, if there's a question of cancer I guess that's reason enough to wait; but she is adamant that it's not malignant.
Problem is, I am 42 1/2. She says the followup u/s might not be able to be scheduled till December, since the cyst is "harmless." I'm not entirely sure we want to try again, but I think we do and that takes away months of prime time! I have another appointment with her at the end of September and she still thinks it may well go away on its own.
Anyone else been in this type of situation?
Oops. Just realized I should have posted this in the TTC forum.
