| Ovarian cyst/cancer?.. age 19..pregnant..opinions?
One year ago (February 07), I started to develop the following symptoms: -Abdominal pain -Shooting pains in pelvis/legs -Bloated -Weight Loss (about 5-10 pounds) -fatigue -changes in bowel movements (urgency) -back pain -cold sensations in feet -burning while urinating (no infection) -pain after intercourse when I started being sexually active in May Anyway, my doc did an ultrasound in April/07 and found a cyst on both ovaries, the one on my left being complex, although quite small.. 3 cm in diameter I believe. My gyn thought it nothing to worry since I am "only 19" and brought up endometriosis. Put me on orthotrycyclen-lo and let me go. I was planning on having an ultrasound in Nov/Dec but unexpectedly got pregnant after going off ortho because of depression. Now.. I'm confused. What do I say to my doctor? She still thinks it was nothing to worry about and now I'm preg? Can people even get preg if they have ovarian cancer? Thank you for any advice/experience. |

It is always possible to get cancer even if pregnant. I had been having dysplasia on and off since I was twenty and it was found again when I was pregnant with my son. About two years after his birth, I found out it was cervical cancer this time. Everything is ok now as I've had a hysterectomy. Now, ovarian cysts are fairly common. She probably put you on birth control as sometimes this is the treatment of choice for cysts especially at your age. Did they symptoms seem to subside during the time you were on BC? It is possible that the cysts have shrank down some at this time and sometimes having a baby kind of "cures" cysts. (not saying they won't be back at a future date) Just have a heart to heart with your doctor and let her know your fears! And, congrats! |
