I had an ovarian cyst picked up on ultrasound at the beginning of my fertility investigations, it was 6cm and has reduced down to about 4cm now, however no one who has scanned it seems sure if it is an endometrioma, haemorrhagic or dermoid cyst. The NHS and private clinic I have been to in the UK have seemed unbothered by it and have advised leaving it alone. I am going for a consult at a clinic abroad who I think (from reading others stories) will advise removal before Ivf. I have researched this myself and the studies seem to show no real improvement on pregnancy rates with Ivf after removal, but a longer time to pregnancy. It has been a long road for us with lots of time wasted up to now, and I really dont want to have to delay things further for surgery unless it is really neccessary. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have a success story they could share? I thought we were getting the ball rolling with the clinic abroad and could hopefully cycle in February but if they have a different attitude to the cyst thats me back in limboland again :(
