I too could not get pregnant, the GP tried to put me on chlomid, and I didn't take it. I had a feeling something wasn't right. I then went to another GP - I didn't leave his room until he examined me. He found a cyst - which was blocking the route down the left fallopian tube, so chlomid would have been the worst thing for me to take.The endometrioma (blood-filled cyst) was removed laparoscopically. I then went on to IVF treatment, which was successful first time round (we were very lucky - only three eggs found, two good, and only one fertilised. My daughter is now 3.5 years). I then went on to fall immediately pregnant with my son seven months after my daughter was born. This was very lucky. When he was 11 months old, I had another large cyst on my left ovary, which was malignant. Now I can't have any more children after a complete hysterectomy.
Lots of women have cysts, as I'm sure you've read and been told. Most are benign. If this one is removed - or disappears of its own accord, as they often do (and your doesn't sound huge), it will have been worth the wait once you get cracking again on becoming a pregnant. It is more than four years since I had the IVF and time has really flown by.
If you want IVF treatment, I think there is an age limit for this to be done on the NHS - I'm sure you know all this already, so apologies for stating anything that may seem obvious! But once the cyst is removed then your body will probably give you a big go-ahead! Good luck with everything! Sara x

Sorry - Clomid!! (Misspelling!)

Hi Bella,
My daughter has polycistic ovaries and she went on the clomid to get pregenant, it worked for her straight away. Having said that she had been trying for baby for a little over the year too by the time she was given the clomid. She does now have a beautiful bay girl 3 1/2 months old.

I myself took the contraceptive pill for a couple of years, then stopt to get pregnant, it also took me a year to concieve - for no aparant reason other than the pill, the one I took over 30 years ago has since been taken off the market, for what reason I have no idea. I never went back on the pill and I fell pregnant straight away with my second two pregnancies.

I also discovered a cyst on my cervex while waiting to see my consultant for first scan (which confirmed a cancerous tumour on my left ovary and colon). The cyst however was diagnosed as a begin and I was also told it may go away on its own. They often do, or they can grow or multiply. They are harmless but can be a nusance, obviously your doc is not too worried about it being cancerous if he thinks it may go away on its own. He won`t want to operate without giving it a chance to go away on its own accord. Depending where the cyst is to wether it will effect a pregnancy.

Its better to wait and be safe darling - when you have your baby in your arms you will wonder why you worried so much about the urgency. I know it feels like a life time of waiting right now, especially if your friends are having families. But honestly, when you do look back at this time you will wonder where the time went.

I`m sure once you have a cancer all clear result it`ll be such a relief to you, the only way forward will be making babies. Happy times ahead! I do hope so sweetheart.

All the best of luck in the world with love from Tina xx
