Need some support on what to do š„ŗJust found out during our first ultrasound I have endometrioma on my left ovary. But I am also pregnant. Wondering if this would effect my pregnancy? Anyone have similar experience?

Hey girl! What size?
I have had 2 endometriomas in my life both surgically removed, one during pregnancy (BY CHOICE!) I was given the option because it was 14cm and I had a lot of pressure and pain associated with it, not because it could affect the pregnancy. My surgeon gave me the choice and gave me pros and cons of both removing and keeping! I had it removed 6 weeks ago and still pregnant and fine :)

Do you know cm size? From the research I've done It's rare for it to burst but the ones that do burst are usually 6 cm or more

Hi it is around 5cm

That really gives me hope š„¹ never heard of endometrioma, heard they are also called chocolate cyst š«

I have a few cysts on my ovaries, and one endometrioma, itās about 8.5cm, no problems so far and Iām 37 weeks, I did have them surgically removed before my IVF treatment, but they came back during the course. Iāve had extra scans due to this and the fact that I also have GD. Youāll be in good hands with your doctors. Good luck with your pregnancy mama āØ

Thank you for the encouraging message š„° and congrats on your pregnancy as well! Baby dust āØto all of us in this journey!!
