Hi, I think it is useful to seek another doctor opinion. I have blood cyst (which is different from urs), 3-5cm at each ovary, more than 5cm is considered big. Private gynae ask me to do day surgery to remove, but there are risk of scarring which can affect fertility depending on the actual cyst location/angle. I went to NUH and KKH, they advise to take non invasive treatment by taking hormone pills (birth control pills) to see if the cyst respond to this treatment. Within 1 year, the cyst size reduce to 3cm then when I went off the pills, it reduce to 1cm. From what I know, cyst size can fluctuate and after removal it can also grow back. It also shouldn't affect fertility. I suggest u seek alternative opinion from gynaes. If it doesn't affect fertility then maybe its not necessary to remove unless it grow to a size that endanger u or baby. Hope this helps.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Experiencing a miscarriage is heartbreaking on its own, without the added worry of a cyst. I was in a very similar situation a few years ago. After a miscarriage, a scan picked up a 5cm cyst. My doctor suggested waiting for my next period to see if it would shrink, but it didn't budge. Further checks showed it was a dermoid cyst, which unfortunately cannot dissolve on its own. I spent weeks hoping for a miracle, but I eventually decided to have it removed via keyhole surgery. Honestly, the worry beforehand was the worst part. The procedure was straightforward, recovery was quick, and it gave me total peace of mind for when I was ready to try again. If you are feeling unsure while waiting for your cycle, it might help to get a second opinion just to ease your mind. I ended up seeing a my gynaecologist, Dr Chris Ng, who was incredibly reassuring.
