Ovarian Cyst after 12 weeks Questions

Has anyone on here with an ovarian cyst got any experience of:

• A cyst still being there at the 12 week follow-up scan, after having had periods since last scan?

• Regular severe headaches while not particularly stressed, for no reason?

• Swelling in your lower legs?

• C-section overhang seeming to portrude out more than usual?

• I had my 12 week follow-up scan yesterday and was told a cyst they found at last scan is still there. The sonographer said it is unusual for a cyst to not have disappeared while still having had periods since last scan. I was told my gp would be in touch by the end of the week.

Not overly concerned as I know ovarian cysts are very common, however I do feel a little uneasy as expected it to have gone.

I had regular periods when the ovarian cyst I had grew to 10cm. I've also had another cyst that disappeared on its own. How big is the cyst?

It was 4cm at first scan, I don't know how big it was yesterday as she didn't say.

Same. I had one that resolved spontaneously but another this size. It's still there. It was monitored with 6-monthly ultrasound scans for 3 years, but there were no further changes, so not suspicious. Hope you can have your mind put at rest, OP.
