Hi Rossipoohbear
Welcome to Empowher.com and thanks for your question.
Firstly, yes you can absolutely get pregnant with ovarian cysts as well as when you have them removed.
Many women have ovarian cysts at various times in their lives, they are fairly common.

Also, why do you think you may be pregnant? What symptoms are you experiencing?
At 17, you would really want to think about extreme vigilance with birth control. Are you currently using birth control?
Please keep us updated!

Hi I am nineteen and i had cysts on my ovaries my doc put me on the pill hoping for it to go away or even make smaller but got larger and before my set date of my operation it burst and said i was lucky never affected my other organs. The doctor said i must remain on the pill Mercilon to regular my cycle. It is every girls dream to have children one day and would like to know if i can still have children.Obviously not now but in the future. Thanx
August 6, 2009 - 7:26amIf you still have one of your ovaries, then it is possible that you can still ovulate and become pregnant when you are ready. You would need to speak with your doctor about any medical conditions, but many women are able to have children with "only" one ovary if they choose. (I'm sure you know that it is not "every" girl's or woman's dream to have children, just as a side note!)

This depends on a lot of things -- how the surgery went, how your incision(s) are healing, and whether you have any other health issues that you are working on with your doctor.
What does your doctor tell you about when you could return to normal activity?
Did you have a laparoscopy or a larger incision?
Are you using fertility methods to try and become pregnant?

Thanks for your post!
Can you explain a little about what you mean when you say your "organs separated"? What organs do you mean and what was done to correct it?
Many women with only one ovary can get pregnant. It may be that you have fertility issues that are not connected to your other ovary or that your husband needs to be checked out - has he been?
I hope for an update from you so we can help you further!
