Two Ovarian Cysts

Oh Okay. I see what you are saying. Yes I will keep you updated. Thanks!

Thanks for the additional information! I see what your doctor means about having to wait for growth since your ultrasound was this past January. Perhaps that's why her colleague isn't concerned about the 4 month span because it's definitely enough time to see if either has grown but not too long to be treated appropriately.

Will you keep us updated in June when you do go for your MRI?

What actually happened was that last year July I had d&c surgery b/c I kept bleeding (which I assumed was my period the entire time) but it extended and got heavier but I had no cramps. So thats when my gyno had recommended surgery b/c it would not stop and they said I had a small cyst which they had to take out. So that all happened last year.

So as a followup, when I went to see my gyno in September of last year, she recommended we do an ultrasound to make sure everything is good. Which was the ultrasound I had this past January. I went back to the gyno 2-3 weeks after my ultrasound for the results and thats when she mentioned I have the two cysts etc etc. And when I went to her then, she said the only way to "monitor" it, is to wait and then do an MRI. Because if I go back for an MRI really early, the results would be the same. And she said b/c you are on the pill, it will help control it and hopefully help decrease the size and so on. And she mentioned to me that she is going on holidays for about 4 months. And so she said she will write on the request for the MRI after March 24th, as I am gone on holidays for a week in March as well.

So then just yesterday I got my appt for June and I called the gyno office asking to rely a message to my original gyno's collegaue and he said I will be fine until June. But he went through my reports and read everything and then told me this.

So, overall...I am hoping this is the right thing to do, which is wait until June. Only thing is, I don't know if a normal/regular doctor would know anything about waiting until June. And basically that gyno that said June is fine is the 2nd recommendation. That is the only office we have here (in our little city) for gyno's.

Dear Anon,

Have you considered a second opinion by a doctor outside of your doctor's group? Is there any way that they will be monitoring for growth between now and June-- an ultrasound, maybe?
