Hi! So to cut a long story short I have 2 children, 11 & 9 and have been ttc for around 5 years now. In that time I've had one miscarriage. The past 3 years or so I've had extremely heavy and clotted periods, which is really depressing! Past few months I've noticed that my periods have become more painful and I've been getting sharp pains in my left ovary. I recently had a transvaginal scan and have found out I have a 5cm dermoid cyst. I've now been referred to gynaecology.
Has anyone else been suffering with infertility and heavy periods due to having a dermoid cyst? I have read that it doesn't usually affect fertility, but I have a feeling that mine is and is causing the heavy periods.
