Pregnancy and a history of Ovarian Cysts?

I have reoccuring ovarian cysts. This condition began at the onset of purberty. Since the first cyst I have been on birth control. I got married almost three months ago and we are ready to begin trying. Is there any research information available to document the reoccurance of cysts after pregnancy? Does it decrease? My doctor has said that I will be on birth control until menopause to stop the cysts (except when trying of course when I'll be under a strict monitoring from the Dr.). Has anyone experienced a reduced number of cysts after their first pregnancy?

Pregnancy and a history of Ovarian Cysts?
hey love, the good news, after you get pregnant, the cysts go into a sort of hibernation period where they actually decrease in size... however, when your periods start again, without monitoring from your MD, the cysts will reoccur.... the only thing that you can do to stop this, is to have the larger cysts removed before they actually burst, or to go into a state such as an induced "hormone reduction:" as the change of life would be, and you would then suffer from hot flashes, etc. so unless, you are in an extreme amount of pain, or the cysts are bleeding, I would just abide by the MD's decision for now.... good luck, love, all the best...

Reply:I've never had ovarian cysts but my mother has. She only had it once and then she couldn't have children after that. I hope your pregnancy goes well. Good luck!
