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 desperate to ask the doctor: what could be the situation if ovulation-stimulating medication leads to a cyst yet pregnancy occurs? Is this baby safe?Doctor's answer:
If a normal follicle is released, there is certainly a possibility of getting pregnant. If it is not released, it may gradually develop into a cyst and disappear in the next cycle. Compared to other children, the use of ovulation-inducing drugs increases the risk of recurrence of malformations significantly, but this does not mean it will definitely recur. Therefore, it is still possible to have the child. Regular prenatal check-ups should be conducted to closely monitor the growth and development of the gestational sac. Check the hCG and progesterone levels, observe if progesterone is low, and monitor how hCG doubles every other day.
