Ovarian Cysts and Fertility

Dr. Natalie Crawford explains the different types of cysts, including functional and non-functional cysts. She highlights the differences between endometriomas and dermoid cysts, and their respective implications for fertility. Dr. Crawford also covers the potential risks and considerations around surgical removal of cysts. Additionally, she provides guidance on fertility preservation options, such as embryo freezing, for women with a history of ovarian cysts. Natalie answers your questions in this week's FFS - For Fertility's Sake How do I know if I'm ovulating? If the left tube is open and the right tube is proximally blocked, would you repeat an HSG? If I only have egg white cervical mucus on one day, usually the day of or the next day for my LH peak, is this my only fertile day? Want to receive my weekly newsletter?
