I'm scared I can't have a baby. I had ovarian cysts and dysplasia when I was younger.?

Question

I had bloodwork done and doctor has ordered a pelvic ultrasound (appointment tonight!) to make sure everything is okay. I had problems with ovarian cysts and dysplasia when I was in my early 20's. After that I became pregnant but lost the baby at 6 weeks. I'm 31 now and really want a baby. Did anyone else have these problems and have a baby? I have not had any problems in years and pap tests come up good. I also started using the Clearblue Easy Fertility monitor and there's a chance I ovulate earlier then I thought which means I could have been trying AFTER I had already ovulated. The monitor showed high fertility today (day 9) and I expect ovulation within a few days. I have a 26 day cycle that's pretty consistent. Any advice would be appeciated!

x_southernbelle you are bitter!! You should get help. I think you have unresolved issues. Maybe you could get pregnant with the help of a doctor.
x_southernbelle I appreciate your animals being your babies..just look at my webpage. I have two wolfdogs, a rotti and 4 cats..but as much as I love them it does not replace motherhood. They will ALWAYS be my babies but I want a real baby! Is that so wrong? Don't be so bitter!
PS Here are MY babies, my blue eyed wolfdogs.

Answer 1

I had ovarian cysts when I was 18... they put me on birth control to help prevent them- they would burst painfully. Now, I'm 24, and got pregnant when I was 23. (I was also on the pill - had been for 5 yrs at the time I got pregnant- it could have been another medicaiton I was taking along with the pill) Anyways, I had my baby. So I say it is definitely possible... you are more fertile in your 20's than your 30's and 40's...so it might take some time, but it is always possible. see what they say with all the tests, and the Clearblue Easy monitor will hopefully help! Remember- several ppl have miscarriages, almost everyone I know has had one... so keep trying, and keep your head up! Don't stress as that won't be good for a baby or yourself. Think positively, and I'm sure you will have a baby.

Goodluck!

Make sure to have sex everyday 3 days proir to ovualtion because the sperm already need to be inside the body when you ovualte. Sperm live in the cervix for 72 hours where the egg only lives about 12 hours if not fertilized. I have cysts all over my ovaries and I am now 12 weeks pregant, and I was only ovualting every 45 days so anything is possible. As far as dyplasia, I have had an abnormal PAP before but it was not dysplasia.
However I work in a GYN office and have seen many women get pregnant after having dysplasia. If you had the cells removed from your cervix there is always the risk of damaging the cervix which could make it difficlut to conceive, but that does not happen often and it depends on which level your dysplasia was...low grade, high grade etc. Hope this helps and good luck :)

I had the equal trouble while I used to be 17. I needed to have a million of my ovaries eliminated. I used to be constantly involved and scared I would not be ready to have a child. I had my first child at 23. Then four years after I had my son. I had a further cyst on my different ovary. At that factor I had given up on having a moment child. I am now pregnant with my moment child! Just be sufferer, It will occur while you're least anticipating it. Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

I had ovarian cysts when I was in high school, they would rupture and hurt like nothing I have ever felt before. I would wait to see what your US says before getting worked up.... lots of women get pregnant with similar problems. I haven't had any ovarian cysts for years now, and our first baby is due in February!

Answer 5

You would be a LOT happier if you would simply ACCEPT the way GOD made you. If He meant for you to have kids you would or will have them. If you are one of many like me who are not meant to have kids in this lifetime, then, like I said, accept it and find fulfillment in other ways. There are PLENTY of those!!!

For instance, I rescue animals. My pet(s) are my 'babies'.

As for the technical questions about the fertility monitor you're using, shouldn't you be directing those to the doctor(s) that have taken care of your condition so far?

EDIT:

Your dogs are magnificent and your kitties are sooo cute!...especially that little black tabby!!!

However, I am NOT "bitter", I AM a REALIST, though! At the age of 29(when I had the tubal removed and the other one tied) I felt I didn't want any more bad pregs. Two in a row was ENOUGH!!! I had planned on having my tubes tied at the age of 30, anyway regardless of whether I had kids or not. And besides, I have never felt the 'need' to contribute to the overpopulation of this planet. [Those two were accidents in the first place.] As it has turned out, I didn't have to...my sister has 12 kids!!!! Enough for her, me AND you...or whoever ;) , my other sister has five, one brother has two and my other brother has two left (he lost one to SIDS and the other to a car wreck that killed the mother, too). Now at the age of 48, I *can't* have kids, even if I wanted them, due to my age first, and then the fact that I had a total hysterectomy 3 years ago!

If ANYone has "issues" it is YOU, my dear. I'm not the one trying to find fulfilment outside of myself. After all, the BULK of your questions (AND Answers) are about concieving, pregnancy and parenting which suggests an obsession (even emmadropit, below picked up on your desparation). [This particular one is even asked in another way.] So it just MIGHT be *you* that needs a bit of counseling as well as the physical help that you're getting so you can actually raise a child (if/and/or/when you concieve, carry and give birth) in a mentally stable and healthy atmosphere. ;)

NUFF SAID.

Answer 6

I had these problems after my first child, and I got pregnant with my 2nd child a few months after my cryosurgery for the dysplasia. He was born 9 months later a healthy boy! Good luck!

Answer 7

my case was very similar, and I don't know if it will work for you, but I couldn't get pregnant, and then I gave up and join to a gym, worked out every day, for 3 months then unexpectedly I got pregnant, after trying so many things, that is the only thing that I notice i did different this time.


God bless you

Answer 8

you can have a baby if you've had ovarian cysts and dysplasia. they are very common illnesses, ovarian custs can be controlled by taking birth controll, and dysplasia should clear up on its own. i had cysts and now have 2 little girls and my sis had dysplasia and it did clear up on it's own.

Answer 9

Just have sex like normal and let nature do it's thing. There isn't much more you can do, so why worry?
