Ovarian Cysts And Ttc Posted: 01-29-05 18:36pm
Hi everyone,
i've been reading through the posts trying
to find something from anyone in a simialr
situation to me and so far no luck so I
thought I should just bit the bullet and
ask the question. I'm a little afraid of
the answers I may receive. My partner had
a vasectomy reversed in sept. And the
first test result two weeks after the op.
Came back good. He has to go back for
another in a couple of weeks so we'll find
out for sure then *fingers crossed*.
But my main concern is that after his op I
went to see an ob/gyn to get myself
checked out just to make check if we were
going to have any other obstacles and
found out that I have ovarian cysts. She
doctor said that although I have cysts my
hormone levels suggest that I don't have
pcos and they should take care of
themselves in time and just to excersise
plenty and lead a healthy lifestyle and
hope for the best. She also gave me a
prescription for clomid which I havn't had
filled yet (waiting on partners final test
results in case it's a waste of money).
My periods have been irregular lately
because of the cysts and have not returned
to normal in the couple of months since I
went to the doctor and i've thought
(hoped) I was pregnant a few times.I have
been reading about clomid and found out
that it can actually cause ovarian cysts.
Why would you prescribe someone prone to
cysts already, something that could
ultimately cause more? I am living in a
remote area and we don't have an ob/gyn in
town. I would have to wait until I go out
of town to go and see one.
Sorry about the ridiculously long post but
I would love to hear about other peoples
experiences/opinions on the situation.
Thanks

Hey..
Well, im 21 years old.. And when I was 12
and 13 my stomach hurt bad, and I finally
found out it was because I had cysts.
The obgyn said they were minute, and would
take care of themselves.. Like in your
case. Well, she prescribed me meds, which
I also did not fill, and then two years
later I wound up in the hospital with
horrid stomach pains..
One of my cysts had ruptured.
I am pretty much now working off of one
ovary.. Which is probably why its so hard
for me to get pregnant. Ive really never
used protection of any kind, yet ive never
got pregnant.
So, I really dont know what to say about
the meds, but the best bet is to find
another doctor, ask their opinion, and see
if there is another pill, but with no side
effects like that one.. That they can put
you on. Cause trust me.. It is not fun
knowing you may never be able to have
children.. Or that you will just miscarry
everytime.
Good luck dear.

Thanks for reply. I'll definitely be
going to see someone new as soon as I can.
I know how you feel about thinking that
you'll never have kids. I worry about it
every day. Not only because of my
problems but becasue we still don't know
if my partners op has worked properly.
I'm so desperate for a baby though I just
try not to think about it too much and
hope we get lucky.

Well I don't know much about cysts but I
can tell you that I know how it is to
worry if you can have kids or not. I
worry about everyday know that me and my
hubsand is trying to have kids. I have
always had problems with my periods and it
has me worried that I can't have kids.
But in your case I would go to a different
doctor. I also am like you just try not
to think about it too much and hope we get
lucky. Good lucky to you.

It's sooooo hard not ot think about it
though. I'm going through 'am I or are't
i?' thing at the moment because and trying
not to get my hopes up. Only because
about 4 wks ago I got my period but it was
light and pinkish in colour and only
lasted for three days, then two wks later
I got a period which seemed normal only my
bbs are still tender. Normally they are
tender for about a week before my period
and then it goes away as soon as I get
them.
Strange stuff. I should just take the
plunge and go and buy a test but I think
i'll wait a little longer. If they are
still sore in another week I will have to
take the plunge. I just don't want to be
dissapointed yet again.
Iv'e only just joined a couple of forums
and it feels better to know that there are
so many other people who eel the same way
I do. Not that I would wish it upon
anyone else of course but you know what I
mean.

Same Problem Posted: 12-03-05 13:00pm
Hi my name is rae and im 20 years old. My
husband and I have been unsuccesfully
trying to get pregnant for 2 years.
Recently I was diagnosed with ovarian
cysts, and my doctor gave me birth control
pills to regulate my periods and pain. I
took them for a month, but was trying to
get pregnant so I just tossed that aside.
Although we have enough money not to be
eligible for government assistance, we
currently cant afford health insurance.
Should I go back to my obgyn? Or is there
a specialized doctor I should see? My
last period was october 10th, and it was
just spotty. Im usually always a week
late, so I was expecting my next period
around november 18th, but its already
december 2nd. I took a pregnancy test and
it came up negative. Im worried that I
just didnt ovulate at all, and I dont
really know who to go to. If anyone could
help me with this I would be very
grateful.
