Hi, I would appreciate any feedback.....Last week I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain on my right side. When I went to the doctor the next morning he diagnosed the pain as an ectopic pregnancy, after an ultrasound, and several hours of stress and panic, he called back to tell me that I had had an ovarian cyst that ruptured. I have been trying to get pregnant this month and was wondering if this would hurt my chances. Has anyone else had thsi experience? I would appreciate any thoughts/advice.

((((((((hugs))))))))) Sorry, I know how painful they are- I had one back in mid January, hurt for a day or two and finally went away. I'm sorry that I don't know how it affects ttc. GL- I hope your pain goes away soon and you will still get your bfp this cycle! LOLove, Connie

i have had an ovarian cyst that ruptured, it was soo painful couldn't stand up straight for at least a week and a half. i hope yours wasn't as bad. anyway no it will not affect your fertility. in fact it is probably good that it ruptured since now the fluid will be absorbed by your body and your ovarys will resume ovulating. sometimes ovarian cysts need to be surgicaly removed, most of the time they will diminish on their own in either case though you will not ovulate from that ovary until the cyst is gone. so YEAH it's gone! hope this helps and dont worry.
