I just found out I have an ovarian cyst from an ultrasound two days ago and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat it without surgery? What are my options if I want to avoid going under the knife?

Yes, many ovarian cysts can be managed without surgery. A common approach is "watchful waiting," where your doctor will monitor the cyst with follow-up ultrasounds. In some cases, medications like birth control pills or other hormone treatments may be prescribed to prevent new cysts from forming or to manage symptoms. Home remedies like pain relief and heat therapy can also help ease symptom

I'm 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?

The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test

I'm a bit worried and curious about something. I had a beta hCG test done in the 8th week and the result was 0.5 ml. Plus, my ultrasound report from the 6th week looked normal. Is there any possibility of being pregnant with these results? I've done just one beta hCG test this month. Can you help clarify this?
