A member asked:

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

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

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.
