Four weeks ago I had my diagnostic laparoscopy looking for endometriosis. The ginecologist remove a serous cyst from my left ovary and a few weeks later is back again!!!

Sorry to hear this.

Did they tell you how many cysts they found during your lap?

I had emergency surgery to remove a large cyst and they only removed the "emergency" one. And left the other, which of course increased in size.

So I was wondering if maybe they didn't remove them all?

The doctor told me that just found one. The cyst was almost hanging off the left ovary, and he told me that the ovaries looked good after the surgery...I'm really confused,

Thanks for your reply :)

After that happened to me I got a referral to an endometriosis accredited hospital. And they then removed my cysts (the one left over and a new one) and I am 5 months post op and I haven't had any recurrence.

If you are in an area where they have BSGE endo hospitals it might be worth asking for a referral (unless you are already at one)

Would the IVF be less successful if you have a cyst? And it is good news your ovaries are still in good shape! In some ways it is remarkable to know just how strong they are!
