Thanks ticklish and tiggerlinda,

Ticklish, I'm pretty sure that they won't have to remove the ovary at this stage. From all my reading, most "big dermoids" are over 5cm and can get huge. So in the grand scheme of things, mine isn't that big.

I guess I'm so worried because when it was first diagnosed, my then GP said she would be reluctant to remove it before I conceive as it "may compromise your (my)fertility further". They were her exact words. I'm seeing someone different now so I'll be interested to hear what she says now that it has grown. I think ultimately though I will have to wait until I see the spec until I know for sure what course of treatment will be taken.

I'm on the 'cancellations list' at the spec so I'm hoping that an appointment will come up before 13th September.

Have you done another HPT??

tiggerlinda- all the best for your appointment- not long now! Is CFG the same as the Queensland Fertility Centre/Group? My sister in law recommended Scott Salisbury to me who works there. I already had this appointment, so I figured I'd go along to this one and if I'm unhappy I'll ask for a referral there.
