Hi Ellie, you aren't alone about your ovarian cyst. I was 5 months pregnant with my first child when they took out a huge one, 5. 5 inches by 2. 5 inches I was told. Are you going to have yours removed? When I had it, it was a deep general anaesthetic. Well at least it was supposed to be. I was aware throughout. Modern anaesthetics are much better and key hole surgeries for lots of procedures. Lynne

Thanks Lynne.

I'm in a "Watchful Waiting" stage at the moment and is being monitored with scans.

It has grown but thankfully not too painful - it's my current niggle. I can't have a general anaesthetic and hope it behaves itself by shrinking or disappearing, I don't fancy the thoughts of any op!

They are usually removed by keyhole surgery these days, under a general, but I'd need an epidural if I were to have it removed - fingers crossed it won't come to that.

On the plus side, at least the scan didn't show that I'm pregnant

Take care Lynne.

Love Ellie.
