A member asked:

I'm pregnant with 7 weeks, with a corpus luteum cyst in my left ovary that's about 1.4x1.6x 1.3cm... is this something a should be concern and worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Corpus luteum: The corpus luteum is the cyst that forms in the ovary where the egg came from. It functions in early pregnancy to support the pregnancy with hormones until the placenta can develop. This is completely normal.
