You need to keep up with that cyst to make sure it doesn't become cancerous. Since you're pregnant monitor yourself carefully and keep every doc appointment, PERIOD. You should be ok. Women can still have healthy babies even with a cyst on the ovary. You need to keep yourself in the best health possible so you can be a proud mom to a healthy baby. Be careful of the pain meds you use (if any) get clearance from the doc first. If the pain gets so bad, see the doc ASAP. Keep your baby safe. After the birth of your child, keep that cyst in check by visiting the doc regularly.
Quickie: Women have a certain number of cysts on their ovaries as those are where the eggs are made. When women have too many or at least one becomes to large, it becomes a problem and the risk of cancer goes up. Go to someone who specializes in this problem for the best possible care. If you live in the north Dallas or Plano/Richardson area of Texas, I can refer you to my specialist. You can e-mail me if you need to. I really do feel for your situation.

I do think worry will not help you in any way. Sometimes with pregnancy, cysts will disappear, so the news can be good, as well as bad. For some women the hormones of pregnancy can also make the cyst(s) grow and worsen, but this is more unusual. How much dairy and eggs and meat are you eating. All these foods are hormonally produced, and have a HUGE effect on size and formation of cysts. I am willing to bet if you lay off the dairy, meat and eggs, you will see a huge difference in the size of your cyst(s), and whether or not they grow or recur after you give birth. Have you been diagnosed w/ PCOS or endometriosis as well?
I do think going to the hospital or doctor is an excellent idea, especially if you are experiencing sharp pains. I would also ask my OB/Gyn exactly what they can or will do for you if the cyst ruptures, as knowing in advance what their chosen treatment would be will help to allay some of your fears. I'm not sure what the choices would or will be, as you are pregnant. That's pretty much all I know at the moment, b/c as you've and I've said, being pregnant complicates everything. My sister had a cyst the size of a small grapefruit rupture, but I don't believe they did anything for it, or could.

cyst formation on an ovary is a normal circumstance, a cyst forms everytime the ovary is ready to release an egg. Yours has gotten large because you are already pregnant so the release hormone is not present for the cyst to break open and propel the egg towards the fallopian tube. There is no risk to the pregnancy, so you can relax on that issue. However, if the cyst continues to grow it can become rather painful. Your doctor can treat it, but you need to discuss all the ramifications of treatment with him before you proceed.

I am 6 mos pregnant and i have the same thing. Not to worry, it's somewhat common for women to have cysts. They basically form when the sac that releases the egg doesn't breakdown but fills with fluid instead. I have multiple cysts, fibroids, & scar tissue in my uterus. Early in the preg. i thought went to the ER for the pain, but it turned out my body was adjusting to being pregnant and the cyst just causes a little more discomfort than usual. Relax, worring can only stress you out.

many women have cysts on their ovaries and never know it. this is especially true of pregnant women. cysts are a naturally occuring thing.
dont stress yourself out over it, that will do more harm than the actual cyst itself.
if you have anymore pain, then see the doctor, that is all you can really do.

some cysts are painful but since your pregnant your doctor should be watching it. after the baby comes they may take it out or it may go down. just keep on it and don't ignore that it is there.

With all do respect to yourself I do not think you should be asking us here in Yahoo. You should be talking to a doctor about this what you have seems pretty serious and you should be talking to an expert
