Question 1

i have a small corpus luteum cyst but also a "simple fluid filled" 8 cm cyst the mfm ob said is likely to rupture. will it hurt the baby? i'm 21wks.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If the sonographic appearance of the 8 cm asymptomatic ovarian cyst is "suggestive of a benign lesion" and you and your MFM Ob are not suspecting a malignancy, the risks of ov. cyst rupture, torsion, bleeding ...at 21 wks are relatively small compared to those of surgical exploration. If it becomes smaller and rises above your pelvis,  it is not likely to affect the course of your labor either. ✅

Question 2

how long after a corpus luteum cyst ruptures will it take for your menstrual cycle to start?

Accepted Answer

Approx. 13 days: Follicular rupture occurs in close association with the oocyte (egg) release and happens about 1 1/2 days after the LH surge. LH surge marks the beginning of the Luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The luteal phase last 14 days ends with the onset of the menses. So your menses should start about 13 days after follicular rupture.

Question 3

i have a hemorrhagic  corpus luteum cyst measuring 63 x 43 x 42mm with 70cc.
what size is this in cm and are there any risks if it ruptures before my next ultrasound to find out what the gyno is going to do. 
12 months ago it was 26 cc so its bigger?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst ?'s:  A hemorrhagic ovarian cyst may rupture, but fortunately this does not usually lead to emergent conditions.  Your gyn physician may suggest oral bcps to suppress the conditions where hemorrhagic ovarian cysts can occur.  These kinds of cysts may occur with endometriosis, and oral bcps may diminish adverse effects accordingly.

Question 4

i am 5 wks preg & i have a corpus luteum cyst that is 2cm it does hurt sometimes what r the chances of it rupturing? should i stop sexual intercourse?

Accepted Answer

No need to: Corpus luteum cyst is normal in early pregnancy. The cyst is unlikely to be the cause of pain. Sexual intercourse is not likely to affect the cyst or pregnancy and you may do it as you like it.

Question 5

i'm measuring 5w4d pregnant and had a corpus luteum cyst rupture. will this end in a miscarriage or is there a chance to have a healthy pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Corpus luteum: The benefit of corpus luteum in pregnancy is to produce progesterone support until the placenta is established by 12weeks. If the corpus luteum is ruptured and is unable to provide adequate progesterone, it is unlikely that pregnancy will thrive. The pregnancy can as well be supported with vaginal progesterone until placenta is established. Good luck.

Question 6

if a corpus luteum cyst ruptures, what happens to the pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The corpus luteum produces Progesterone which "supports" the lining of the uterus during an early pregnancy.  We now know that the placenta can pretty much "take over" the function of the corpus luteum earlier than was thought.  A simple serum Progesterone test can tell.  If the result is 25 or greater, there should be no problem.  But this depends on the rest of your history.

Question 7

if the corpus luteum cyst was broken how long till the pains is gone?

Accepted Answer

Three months, more.: A corpus luteum is formed after ovulation, when the egg is released to be fertilized.  It secretes estroigen and progesterone.  If conception does not occur, it involutes and goes away.  But it can gret filled with fluid or blood and become a cyst, which can take 3 mos to go away.  It can grow and cause pain and have complications, like rupture, which causes sharp pain and need emergent treatment.

Question 8

how do i know if i had a follicular cyst or a corpus luteum cyst.?

Accepted Answer

Unnecessary to know: They are two phases of the same thing. An ovarian follicle should rupture releasing an egg. If this doesn't happen, the follicle keeps enlarging turning into a cyst. The ruptured follicle is called the corpus luteum. If the escape opening seals off, fluid can accumulate causing a corpus luteum cyst. An ultrasound may determine which you have but it isn't important to know; they act the same.

Question 9

could a corpus luteum cyst take nutrients away from the developing fetus?

Accepted Answer

No : A  corpus luteum cyst provides the hormonal support that an early pregnancy needs to survive. It does not steal nutrition from the baby. It is not a living organism. It is a cyst.

Question 10

can simple corpus luteum cyst ( not the persistent one) cause to delay ovulation for 4 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, maybe, no: There's some confusion in the language here, i'll give my best answer: any persistent cyst (not just corpus luteum) can delay the next ovulation/period. A "simple" cl, if you mean one that behaves normally, will never delay your period/ovulation unless you got pregnant in that cycle. Does that help?
