How hard is to get pregnant when u have an ovarian cyst?

Answers:
It really depends on the type of cyst, and if it is just an isolated cyst, or if you have an ongoing problem like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_ovary_syndrome). It is the leading cause of infertility because it can change your mentrual cycle so that you sometimes don't have periods, or you may have infrequent periods. The good news is that even if you have this syndrome, there are drugs like Metformin (Glucophage), which have been very effective in increasing fertility.

It can also make it difficult because each month, a woman's ovaries grow tiny cysts that hold the eggs. When an egg is mature, the sac breaks open to release the egg, so it can travel through the fallopian tube for fertilization. Then the sac dissolves. In one type of functional cyst, called a follicular cyst, the sac doesn't break open to release the egg and may continue to grow. This type of cyst usually disappears within one to three months. A corpus luteum cyst, another type of functional cyst, forms if the sac doesn’t dissolve. Instead, the sac seals off after the egg is released. Fluid then builds up inside of it. This type of cyst usually goes away on its own after a few weeks. However, it can grow to almost four inches and may bleed or twist the ovary and cause pain. Clomid or Serophene, which are drugs used to induce ovulation, can raise the risk of getting this type of cyst.

In short, your OB-GYN could help you with fertility when a cyst is involved.

yes and no but first you should get that removed if its serious
