As the other girls said.... sorry but the can come back!!!
I've had approx 6 operations to remove them and now have that much bloody scar tissue inside one of my recent ops was to clean up all the scar tissue!!!
My largest was the size of a grapefruit with the fluid amount of 3/4 of a coke can.
Before I was ttc I was on a continuos pill to stop the ovulating, hence the cysts forming and growing (mine are blood filled).
I would go get it checked, hopefully they can just monitor it to keep it under check.
I made the mistake of ignoring it once and ended up in emergency, having a full blown argument with the surgeon on call that I had a cyst and was not my appendix like he thought! He only drained it and didn't take the skin....I ended up with another cyst 2 months later AND the bugger took my appendix as well!!!
Sorry.... went off on a tangent. Hope all goes well and it's under control!
Salsa - it depends on the type of cyst. I think my experience was worse because the cyst wasn't removed when they first found it (they procrastinated about it hoping it would just resolve itself as some of them do and by the time they realised it was serious, I was prg again) By the time it was removed it had been there 6 months. There were a few trips to an oncologist to rule out ovarian cancer which was very frightening. It was an endometrioma in the end - so basically a ball of endometriosis. I had never had endo before, nor have I since and it was not found anywhere else in my pelvis. Just one of those random things.
So I had it removed by laproscopic surgery in a small hospital (bad move) and it turned out to be a messy surgery. Most of my left ovary had to be removed (which I wasn't told until months later) I was in theatre for almost 4 hours and lost a lot of blood. Recovery was long and painful. The opposite of what everyone had told me would happen.
We started ttc again a few months later and after 6 months without success went back to see the dr who'd performed the surgery and we ended up trying clomid for 6 months without success. After that I knew something was wrong so went and saw a FS who wanted to do another surgery straight away. I was devastated but the second surgery was much better. Unforutnately, the scarring and adhesions from the first surgery had pretty much removed all function on my left side and had blocked my left tube. So no tube, no ovary. We had a chance of falling prg naturally from my right side but the chances weren't great so we went straight to IVF.
We had our son in Nov 07 and much to our surprise this baby was naturally conceived 12 months later. So there was a happy ending

I get ovarian cysts quite often but they usually resolve themselves after a few months. I usually don;t go until after about 4mths. I have never heard of getting them removed, my last one was over 10cm but they just kept me on monthly scans until it disappeared. But I have heard they can be dangerous if they burst or they can contort the ovary/tube. I would go and get it checked if you are worried.
I find mine are usually quite while breastfeeding but flare up again afterwards like now :-)
