Dermoid cyst and pregancy? ultrasound results?

hi has anybody had a dermoid cycst and been pregnant?





on the 18th sept i had a scan as id had pains on my left side and after abit the sonographer said i had a dermoid cycst on my left ovary . at this point i was 4weeks pregnant that day i later found out, anyway wouldnt she of been able to tell from the scan i may be pregnant? like thickness of cervix and could the cyst have been the pregnancy. i had a scan at 6weeks and 8 weeks and they could not see the cyst and its not been seen since on any of my scans ( ive had 4 so far)


my lmp was 13th aug, according to my dating scan i concieved the 4th sept and due 27th may 08.





i am wondering were the cyst has gone if it was there in the first place and plus the lady who did the ultrasound and saw the cyst , it took her ages and didnt seem to interested.





thankyou

Dermoid cyst and pregancy? ultrasound results?
The sonographer was probably wrong. The cyst probably looked like a dermoid, but since you are pregnant the cyst was really a corpus luteum cyst. This is a normal cyst that everyone gets in their first trimester of pregnancy. It helps to provide nutrients to the egg while it implants into the uterus. The reason they can't see the cyst anymore is because a corpus luteum will collapse after the egg is implanted into the uterus. Sometime they collapse right away, sometimes they hang around for 12 to 14 weeks, but in the end they all collapse because the placenta is now providing nutrients to the baby and the corpus luteums job is done.
