Wondering About Cysts....

Hi All!

I suppose it isn't a celiac question, but I have talked to you all before and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I went in for an exam before we started ttc, partly because I had had some pain and partly because I wanted to have a check up to see that everything was ok. She had me go in for an ultasound and said that my pain was probably caused from a cyst bursting and that I had several other small cysts. I always think of things to ask AFTER I leave the doctor's office and it happened to me in this case too. They say cysts are caused when you ovulate naturally and that it only causes a problem when they don't "let go" of your ovary. If I have several on my ovaries, does that mean that I am not ovulating properly......and then does that mean I'll have trouble getting pregnant? Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or knows about how that works?

Thanks Guys!

Christine

Sorry I'm late to reply...I just saw your question. :blink:

Did your Dr. mention anything about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? If so, you may have some difficulty conceiving (however, from what I understand, it is still possible).

Personally, I have had several cysts on my ovaries (one which ruptured, and one which had to be removed via surgery). I was not dx with PCOS though, and I had no difficulty conceiving. Cysts are not that uncommon. I would say to question your dr. further about PCOS...and other than that, HAVE FUN TRYING! :P

I'm pregnant now! :D

If they are just cysts you should be okay. I had several ruptured cysts--extremely painful, and had to go on birthcontrol at 16 to prevent more. My doctor said it would not affect my chances of getting pregnant--if anything my body was working overtime :)

I have had 2 ruptured cysts - not sure if I have others - I have been on BC since the 2nd popped. I have heard that they are caused both from when they are not let go and just from when they are formed (a pocket of fluid results, which builds with each ovulation). The fluid-filled cysts are called functional and are not harmful to my knowledge unless they take out a blood vessel, which is what happened to me the first time. My doctor is interested in taking me off the pill, and she is investigating what is causing the cysts for me in particular so that I can feel comfortable going off the pill. I have not been told that they would impede fertility.

julie-

its nice your doctor is willing to experiment with you. my doc put me on bc due to the cysts about 11 years ago. and i'm only 26 now... my sense is they will eventually come back after i go off...but we'll see. not willing to risk a pregnancy anytime soon. however, i am switching to the nuvaring next month so at least i'll be getting less hormones...

Would you guys mind sharing which bc pill you are on? I had a laparoscopy last May to have a cyst removed. I'm interested in going back on the pill to regulate my period, but I don't know which ones are gluten-free.

Thanks,

Jen

i take ortho tri-cycline. i take a generic for it now....can't remember that name. as i mentioned i'm switching to nuvaring...since it not absorbed via digestive system and since it is a 1/3 of the hormones...only have to worry about it every 3 weeks...

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Thanks for this Wends and appreciate your insights! I'm not sure what you mean by "Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test." ? I had a look at Dr Bernstein's work and we've definitely noticed that on lower carb days her blood glucose levels are much easier to manage. Our nutritionist advised against a low carb diet for toddlers as they said young children, unlike adults, rely on carbs for their growth and development. What's your view on this? Regarding malabsorption - it's so hard to know what's "normal". My daughter's poos have always been on the softer side as she's breastfed and we eat very healthily. I've booked an appointment with our GP and will take some photos!

      Thank you all for your kind wishes, it means so much. The information you've all shared has been so useful. We have a great diabetes team and trust the consultants decision to wait a few months to repeat the blood test. We also don't want to put her through any more tests than she needs as it's so tough on her and us! It feels unbearable waiting when she has some unexplained symptoms and as her mum I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep her healthy. That's interesting re: iron levels. I hadn't thought about that but I'm pretty sure this would've been checked as she was in hospital with DKA and they did lots of tests. I have requested a copy of her results.

      Pepsid alternative

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.
