Patient's question:
I took ovulation-stimulating medication last month, and one egg was released while the other didn't, forming a cyst. However, this month I carefully discovered I'm pregnant. I'm in distress—what could be the situation with ovulation-stimulating medication, cyst, and pregnancy? Is this baby safe?Doctor's answer:
If you are pregnant with a cyst after taking ovulation-stimulating medication, it is best to wait and see first. If you are pregnant after taking ovulation-stimulating medication, you can have the child. We suggest that you do not get nervous. If you are not yet menopausal, you can become pregnant with ovulation-stimulating medication. If you are pregnant after taking menopause-enhancing medication, the child can be kept. If the cyst is caused by medication, it will usually swell. In that case, it is best to wait and see and have a follow-up ultrasound during pregnancy to confirm the size of the cyst.
