A member asked:

I dont have pcos but i have another cyst or 2 (1mm) on my ovary w/in 6 months of my last cyst (2.5). how can i prevent while still trying to conceive.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cysts vs follicles: Every month when you're ovulating you get 3-5 small cysts (follicles or egg cysts) on each ovary and usually 1 dominant cyst (follicle) that is usually 1.5-2.5 cm in size. Without these you don't ovulate and you can't concieve. Some radiologist will say follicular cysts and some just say cysts, which confuses patients. After you ovulate you may have a bigger cyst (corpus luteum).
