AIBU to worry about an ovarian cyst in early pregnancy?

[MamaB12]

ovarian cyst found on previous scan due to miscarriage.
the midwife wasn’t concerned she didn’t say what cyst it was or the size, but i had a letter through to rescan 3 months later to see if it had gone but fast forward 2 cycles late i am pregnant again, im currently 7 weeks pregnant and last night i was getting a new sharp twinges but on and off. nothing too painful.

has anyone else experienced this before? i was hoping the cyst had gone but it doesn’t feel like it.

Ovaries have cysts called corpus literal cysts which support early pregnancies until the placenta properly forms, so I wonder if it’s that cyst from your last pregnancy as they can take a while to re- absorbed.
i suspect it’s nothing they’re worried about as they’d see you pretty quickly if it was something that looked worrying or out of place (I’m a scientist though not a medic, but have been through this, I had a large cyst which they removed immediately after my miscarriage
good luck with your pregnancy, you could ask your midwife for an early scan referral if you’re worried and so if she can arrange this?

i think they sent the notes to my GP so i can ring today and ask if they have noted what type of cyst it was.
i just never thought they would rescan because they never mentioned they wanted to when i was there? so i called the EPU to ask why, they said if they cyst is 5cm they like to rescan to see if it has gone. anyway I got the letter through for a rescan but the post was 2 weeks late so i missed my appointment but coincidentally the day after i found out i was pregnant again! (2 cycles after mc)
just last night in bed i had a few sharp twinges, a pain i am familiar with due to the cysts thats what makes me think it hasn’t disappeared?
yeah i see my midwife next week so will speak to her about it.
iv been so worried incase it was something sinister but i have no alarming symptoms and never have. maybe like you said they would’ve referred me fast if it was.

How funny, I recently had ultra sound scans on various organs and I asked if they could also check my ovaries as I’d had a cyst before (mine was around 25cm lol), and I also felt that funny feeling, not pain, but twinge … I have another cyst, it was 6.5cm, so was rescanned 3 months later and am awaiting another gynae follow up … essentially they like to offer removal if they’re over 5cm in my region (East Midlands), I’ve told them I’d rather wait till it bothers me but happy to keep having scans to see if it’s been shrinking (hopefully!) I’m menopausal so guessing things may change lol
goodnluxk and hope it’s just gone for you

yes that’s exactly like mine, just a sharp twinge every now and then?! so random
im in south yorkshire but im not sure what the protocols are for removal, maybe when i have my next scan they can see if it has grown and then see from there what my options are, im hoping it hasn’t grown and i can have it removed during C Section?!

did they tell you what type of cyst you have?
