Hi,
I am new to this site. It's been yesterday that I went to the hospital for some ultrasound where the worse was confirmed. First the technician was taking some pictures of my inside for some time. At this time I was wondering why she was taking so much time to make those photos. She asked me to go the washroom and take some liquid away from me so my stomach would not feel so full, that she could not take proper pictures. She took another 15 minutes to make another sets of pictures. When she finised she asked me to Lie on the bed and wait until she comes back. When she came back she came with a doctor. She was keep saying to him, I can't see it, I just can't see it. At this point I was really worry that something is wrong. The doctor finally started to talk and told me that there is a 8cm cyst on my right site. The problem is that they can't find my overy, so he suggested to take some more pictures with the Endovaginal ultrasound. The Endovaginal ultrasound did not show any more than the other ultrasound. They could not find my right overy. By the way I am a 31 years old woman that is trying to have children for the last year, have problems with being dry all the time, and I get episodes of really painful sharp stomach pains very often.
Why could they not find my right ovary? Waht does it mean and why did the doctor came twice to see the ultrasound? Will I be able to have children?
Did any of you ever had the same situation?

An 8cm large cyst is a rather large cyst and it is probably the cause of your sharp stomach pains. You didn’t say what kind of cyst exactly it was since there are a few types of cysts that may form on/in an ovary. The most common ones are called functional cysts, which go away on their own but may fill with blood and fluid and grow to become large.
My mother was also found a very large blood cyst threatening to burst, so her surgeon decided to remove it. Your doctor will probably order another ultrasound for another day to try to identify your ovary and suggest you your options.
If the cyst is the only problem, it should not prevent you from becoming pregnant. However, if you also suffer from hormonal problems, lack of periods, etc…you may have a problem.
It takes about a year for a healthy couple to get pregnant and if you have been trying for that long, you may discuss things with your gynecologist about fertility tests once you have sorted out the problem with the cyst. Good luck!

I also have two very large cysts on both of my ovaries. I was also told that I cannot have children. I am 27 years old and I found out about his when I was about 20 years old. The Dr.'s are also unable to do any kind of surgery on me due to past medical procedures. So, once a year I go to the hospital and get a procedure done to drain out the fluid from both of the cysts. It is a simple outpatient procedure which does include anastesia. I think i spelt that wron, but you get the point. Juts whatever you do, do not take birth control, some Dr.'s do not realize that the pill actually feeds on the cysts and makes it larger. It does not help it go away. I am not the only one who has experienced this. I knew two other women who have cysts and the same thing happened to them with the pill. Also I happy to say that one of the women were trying for a while to have children and now she has a healthy baby girl. So, anything is possible. Maybe a fertility Dr. is also helpful. That is who does my yearly aspirations now. Good Luck I hope my information helped you!!
I am 19 and just found out that the cists the doctors removed last year came back and now I am told that there are more, they are bigger, and they are extremely sensitive. Lately I have been experiencing a lot of pain and its all on my right ovary. My boyfriend and I are pretty worried that I might not be able to ever carry a child. I am so scared and dont know what to do.
i am so glad to read some of these post. i just got an ultrasound done yesterday. i went in to find out my due date..im pregnant wiht my third child. while there i was told my uterus is tilted and it took along time to get the images they needed. after about 30 minutes..i was asked to use the bathroom to release some fluid because they were having difficulty finding my ovary. I was confused but did what was asked of me..after another 10 minutes the tech told me she was going to have to do an internal ultrasound. the tech was still having problems about 20 minutes later she called in a doctor to assist her. They continued to look. after an hour and half passed they finally told me i was finished. I asked if everything was okay and th ey said yes and that my doctor would discuss the results with me. im going to call tommorrow to see what het doctor has to say..should i be concerned? Ive never had an ultrasound that lasted that long or required assistance.Would the tech tell me if somethign were wrong or is it best the doctor discusses this with patients? im confused.
Hi there, I last yr had a etopic pregnancy and I have recently miscarried. I am still having pains in the stomach and feel generally unwell. My last ultrasound I had after I miscarried, they cannot see my left ovary?? this is real concerning for me?? I've been referred to a gyno, but have no idea whats going on down there.. I just found your posting interesting and familiar, I also have a cist of some kind?? let me know how you go??

I am 16 weeks pregnant and when I went in for an ultrasound at 11 weeks I found out that I had a large cyst on my right ovary. The cyst is approximately 20cm. I am going to have surgery on Thursday to have the cyst removed. My doctor says that there is a less than one percent chance for me to loose the baby. I havent been having any pain or problems.
I went through almost the exact same thing yesterday, although no one mentioned a cyst. I am waiting for results from my doctor. Let me know how you are doing. You shouldn't have any problems with having children with your left ovary still in tact. Best wishes for you. I will say a prayer.
