I never just get good news at the OB.
So im 11w3d today and had my dating ultrasound at the hospital. Baby looked great, moving and grooving all around, super active. Got to see and track heart rate. Everything looked great. The tech left the room and said hey let me talk to the dr real quick to make sure youre good to leave. Ok... Doctor comes in and introduces himself and my heart just sunk. Thankfully he said baby is perfectly fine. But i have developed a dermoid cyst on my right ovary that is large enough he said it "has to go". Basically gave me the risks (rupture, torsion) which ive had a torsioned ovarian cyst before on left side and they barely saved that ovary. Guess i must be prone to them? He warned me there's a small chance i could lose the right ovary but that they'd avoid that if they can. He didnt have any other info and just said that maternal fetal medicine would reach out with a plan and more info because they dont want to remove it during pregnancy but it's gotta be monitored and removed at some point. Explains all the pain ive had in that area whenever i move a certain way. Im just stressing now because ive had that surgery before and it was realllllyyy hard for me healing wise. I have fibromyalgia and other health issues and my body just doesnt heal/cope with surgery well. Im already high risk with hypertension and some other issues. Already got told theyre expecting pre eclampsia and want me to deliver at 38w. Im SO thankful its me and not the baby but wtf ya girl needs a break!!!
