Large cyst found during ultrasound

I had my 12 weeks scan (turned out to be 10 weeks and 4 days) and during the scan the sonographer found a cyst 6.7cm. wide on the right ovary. She said if it gets to 7cm or over it can be damaging to the baby so I am really worried now. My whole family have history of having to have cysts/womb removed due to cancerous cells. Has anybody else had this on their scan and if so do you have any feedback to help me? Thank you x

I had a scan at the early pregnancy unit and they also found a rather large cyst on my right ovary as well. No one said it was anything to worry about though.... 🤔

@Kaylee She said it so nonchalant too my partner even asked her how many cm’s and she repeated 7cm! Did she mention that you would be monitored?

I can't remember the measurements of mine. I'll have to check when I get home. I remember it was bigger than my actual ovary. But no they said they don't normally cause any problems but if it did start causing issued I would have to be referred to obstetrics as well. X

I’ve got a large cyst on my right ovary too, the nurse said it was only a problem if it twists, which would be painful, but it’s a simple cyst (non-vascular) so otherwise best to leave it alone

@Danielle She said the same to me too! Fingers crossed it goes down! x

Ive got a large one ( over 6cm) on my left ovary ( which has my corpus Lutem on it too) they gave me two options surgery now or after baby obviously i chose after baby as now they said could cause a miscarriage xx they said theyll monitor its growth xx

On my early scan at the EPU, she said I had a cyst but honestly, I was so overjoyed at seeing the heartbeat it was a pretty quick comment at the end, she basically said “you have a cyst on your ovary but it’s common in pregnancy” & it wasn’t even put on my hospital notes so I’ve decided to not stress about it..for now at least🙏🏼

They said the same to me but reassured me that it was normal and that it just meant the baby came from the left side (where my cyst was) I did think it’s pretty poor wording as naturally makes you panic hearing that but she said I don’t need to panic 🙏🏼
