Re: Cysts?
My RE said it was very common. I had one about that size and they just kept an eye on it. The nurse did tell me that I might feel more cramping or stretching feeling on that side and it would be due to the cyst.
April 2011: Metformin 1500mg + Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel + Prometrium = BFP!

At 40w6d, our Team Green surprise came by unplanned C-section and changed our lives forever!
2/21/11: IVF #1 Begins and results in TWINS!
11/4/11: The twins are born at 36w4d!
11/5/11: We said goodbye to our sweet baby girl as she was born with multiple complications and a severe heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
I had a large one on my left ovary (40 mm). They do not do anything because it is GOOD to have the cyst. It is what is producing progesterone, which is helpful until the placenta takes over.
Mine was painful on a few occassions, but knowing that it was a "good" pain made it easier. Good luck!
