I just had my last pre-IVF screening test, a baseline ultrasound on CD11 to check for cysts.
Sure enough I have a cyst on the outside of my left ovary. The tech described it as a cystadenoma. I forgot to ask how large it's measuring. All she said was, "It's nothing to panic about until you talk to your doctor". WTF does that mean?!
Dr. Google has not been my friend today... I'm worried I'll need another lap to remove it before we can move on to IVF.
I'm also trying to look on the bright side: if I do need a second lap, our IVF cycle will be pushed back at least another three months, but that will give us time to save up the necessary funds to pay for it in full! That's good... right?
I hope everyone else has had a better week than me <3
Re: What do you know about cystadenomas?
I had a Cystoma, which isn't the same, but they sound similar (a tumor filled with cysts). I had to have a lap to have mine removed. My doc was very reassuring that they are most commonly benign, and being monitored like you are I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
(((hugs)))
Sorry, I don't know much about them. I hope everything is okay and you are able to move forward soon. Keep us posted, hon. Sending lots of positive T&Ps your way.
