Women - have you ever had to have a cyst removed from your ovary?

I will have to go for an op to get a cyst (fibroid i think) removed from my ovary. Has anyone done this, and how bad was the pain afterwards? I have heard its harder to fall pregnant after, has anyone had a baby after having it removed? thanks, i hate the thought of going under anesthetic and have not ever been to the hospital for anything before, apart from labour. But i have been told to get it removed.

I have had a cyst removed from my ovary before. My doctor drained the cyst.





I have a friend who has had a fibroid removed from her uterus before. I have talked to other women who have had this done and depending on how the doctor removed it (depending on the location) it didn't affect their ability to get pregnant, but everyone is different.





I would recommend getting another opinion before having surgery, preferably from someone that does not share the same office of the doctor you currently go to, to see what they say.





In the mean time here's the link to a site that may help you find even more information. The link is at:
