Ovarian cyst

Hey everyone, 

I am 27 and currently 13 weeks pregnant with my first baby and during my ultrasound scan a cyst on my right ovary was found along with a fibroid. 2 days later my GP calls me to say it was abnormal and I needed to attend the hospital that afternoon to see a consultant. They said I have a dermoid cyst approx 4.5cm that is abnormal due to strong blood supply. They have arranged an MRI scan within 2 weeks and I had bloods taken for tumour markers. Surgery is looking likely but the decision will be made by a MDM board after the scan results.  
 

I am absolutely worried sick, I'm trying to stay positive but I'm quite overwhelmed and feeling a bit lost. The waiting is so difficult and I can't think of anything else. 

  • Congratulations on your pregnancy Mom2b although I'm sorry about what was found on your ultrasound. 

    No doubt you're contending with a lot of thoughts and feelings at the moment but I'm sure they will do all they can to protect your little one during the decision making process.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their strength and support to you soon but whilst you wait I hope this article will help you stay calm until you know more.

    Kind regards,
