I had SEVERE ovarian cysts as a child. At the age of 13 they wanted to take my ovaries out..uh no thanks. My mom said they were crazy. So they put me on birth control pills which as long as I stayed on them the cysts stayed under control.

I was told at 19 that if I didn't have kids right then at that age I would NEVER be able to have kids because of the cysts and the size of them. Well....I'm 30 and I'm pregnant with my second child.

Have you been on some kind of medication regiment for the cysts? What kind of surgeries did you have and did your doc put you on a medication regiment first?

I think I'd go for a second opinion too

monkeytoes replied: i am only 20 i will be 21 in may the resent surguries that i have had are only 2 years apart and it has been 2 years since my last one and the doctor is right i sould of know but oh well nothing more that i can do but pray... as i always say it could be worse..

thanks again for everything

coasterqueen replied: I'm sorry. IF you want to get pg then do so but IF you are not ready yet I encourage you to get a second opinion and see about a birth control method to help keep the cysts under control. It really does help. I know many many women with serious cyst problems on birth control to help the situation.

It doesn't mean that you can't get pg later on IMO but then again I don't know the reason why they did surgeries on you. When I went for my second opinion at age 13 I was told that surgery should be last resort....birth control is 1st method of trying to control them.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

EDIT: BTW, I do know how you feel. When the doc told me at 19 I should have kids now...I was devastated but I was no where near ready at the age of 19 to have children and so I decided to put myself in gods hands and IF he wanted me to have children later on..then he would...if not than that is what was intended for me.

monkeytoes replied: well my first surgury was for a cyst the size of a grapefruit and they had to take half of my left overy and after that they put me on the shot and that worked for a little while then the second surgury that i had was the 4 inches in size and that one went okay they didn't have to take anything out... and they put me on the pill after that one to see if that would work.. then i went to the doctor cause i wasn't feeling good and they thought that i might of been pg and they told me to stop taking the birth control and then this happend.. so i don't know what they are going to do know but my fiance said that if they think that they have to take them out within a year then we are going to try to have a kid so we at least will have one in case if something goes wrong..

thanks

monkeytoes replied: i hope that i can get pg too... the doctor hasn't told me otherwise i know that i am only 20 but my mom had to loose her overies when she was 30 and i just want to have all the kids that i want then get them taken out so i don't have to worry about it any more i know that my mom dicaproves of it but all i want is 3 kids and that is it.. i just want to start my life and be done with cysts and just move on with my life if the gyn. says that it would be a good idea to have a kid now just in case something goes wrong i will be more than happy to... and you guys are great with making people feel better like there is always hope.. i know that if it comes down to it that i can have my eggs saved and get injected but i just would like to hold out on that option till it is nessessary.. sorry about the spelling... well thanks again for your help i wont know anything else till thursday....

maestra replied: I have polycystic ovaries, and my dr. said that having children can slow the growth of cysts. However, it can be difficult to get pregnant when you have cystic ovaries. In the case of PCOS (which is what I have) the cysts are actually eggs that matured but were never released from the ovary due to hormone levels. It made all of those really long cycles I had in my early twenties make sense. I wasn't ovulating.

After looking at my ovaries, my dr. told me that my daughter (who was not planned) was a miracle, and to count on a long battle trying to get pregnant again. So, I had my iud removed, and found out I was pregnant a month later. There is hope!
