I went into the emergency room in January due to stomach problems where they found a ovarian cyst. I have stomach problems also but the simple ovarian cyst has not gone away. My husband and I had been trying to concieve for some time now to no avail. I had an ovarian cycst on both ovaries at one point in between the one on my left ovary came and went in the same month but the one on my right ovary wont go away on its own. So since my doctor doesn't want to do surgery she has decided I need to go on birth control she gave me free samples of nuva ring. I really do not want to be on birth control at all. Does anybody have any other suggestions on how to get the cyst to go away? I can't seem to get pregnant the doctor thinks if the cyst goes away it will be easier, but how will it be easier to get pregnant if I have been on birth control?

Some cysts will go away on their own, but birth control pills can help speed up their demise.
A friend tried to make a cyst go away naturally by avoiding dairy, eggs etc. The idea was that the growth hormones given to chickens/cows etc. makes your cysts grow. In her case, the cyst was too large to get smaller naturally, it had to be surgically removed. But the diet might work for a smaller cyst.
Are you seeing an Reproductive Endocrinologist? That is the best thing to do. I just got pregnant after 3 years of trying. What finally worked for me was seeing an RE who prescribed alternating cycles on birth control pills with cycles on fertility medications.
In my case, I was given birth control pills to suppress my ovaries between blasting them with fertility meds. Also had a few cysts show up that required birth control pills to make them go away.

I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease years ago as a teenager. I was only 14 and not sexually active, however my doctor reccomended I start using the pill to get my body used to having regular periods. I was told I would have a difficult time concieving due to the cysts. Then I gave birth to my first son at age 19, my second at 23 and my third at 26. I feel very blessed. My first one just suprised us but the second and third were planned and I had to use metformin and clomid to help me ovulate. If you are serious about this talk to a second doctor. I think he/she will give you a more positive direction. Good luck

I also have PCOS which it sounds like you do . . . it sounds like you need to be referred and seen by a Infertility specialist called an Reproductive Endocrinologists (RE).
I was on Metformin and used clomid to conceive but after 2 yrs of peeing on sticks, guessing, counting and heartbreak - get help early. it will ease some of the hard times.
best wishes!
