I'm 31 yrs old, trying to get pregnant I stopped birth control about 2 years ago and haven't had any luck. For over the past six months I've been experiencing more the normal period pains before, during and after my period, it gets really bad, I had to finally go to the ER I had a ruptured cyst on my right and still have a much larger cyst on my left. I've been having ultra sounds done about every six wks, hoping it goes away but this last month my ob suggest I have a MRI because of increase change in size. Today I found out I have endometrioma. I have a cyst inside my my left ovary. The ob says she can go in and have it surgically removed but might have to remove my whole left ovary, it scares me because I'am trying to have a baby and I don't want to minimize my chances since I haven't been able to or is it possible that the cyst is the problem with me trying to conceive I just don't know what to do! please share your thoughts
