Question : I have always had a regular 27-30 day cycle. I am now 3 weeks late on my period. Pregnancy test is negative (actively trying to conceive). I have had a private ultrasound scan to see what's going on and I have a cyst on my right ovary. Will the cyst resolve itself my GP isn't concerned and says my cycle should start within 2 weeks. I will upload my blood reports and ultrasound scan. Please explain the ultrasound scan to me and all I want to know is will my periods come back naturally please or do I need to contact my Gynaecologist? Many thanks in advance. Also do you see that I can conceive naturally with my reports? Husband semen analysis and my hormone profile all are good. I have not had tubes tested as been told don't need this test as of yet as all looks good. Do you agree?

Brief Answer:
PCOS likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns .

I have reviewed the reports. Your blood reports are normal.
However, your ultrasound shows a complex ovarian cyst which is likely to be a haemorrhagic cyst.
Both the ovaries are also showing multiple follicles, which are present in polycystic ovarian syndrome.
PCOS is associated with irregular menstrual periods and difficulty in conceiving.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly treated for PCOS.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

PCOS has been ruled out

will my cycle come back naturally? my GP says it will and this is nothing to worry about he says its a corpus luteal cyst and not haemorrhagic

Brief Answer:
Periods will come back normally

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Periods are likely to come back normally.
Possibility of haemorrhagic cyst is more as it has internal echoes.

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not there

Hi dear,
Periods can come back naturally once the cyst resolves.
