Can I Get Pregnant With Follicular Cyst?

I am 21, I am 5' 1" and 120lbs. I had been on the depo shot for 6 years with the last shot being over a year ago. I would like to get pregnant. My periods have been regular for months. I have intercourse about every other day. With no turn out. Last week I went to the doctor due to having some pain in my lower left abdomen all that they found was follicular cysts in both ovaries. Which the doctor did not seem to think that was why I was having the bad pain but was relieved at the results. I have many questions on the follicular cyst subject however what I am trying to get to is that I was due to get my period today and there is no sign of it. I did take a pregnancy test but that was late this afternoon and was not with the first morning urine and I was unable to hold my urine for four hours could I still be pregnant?

Hallow Dear,

Let me start from the end.

Performing a pregnancy test on the day you have missed your period is too early. These tests report reliable results about a week after missed period; done too early may report false negative results. If you are so keen on having the reliable results so early, you may opt for Beta hCG test which gives reliable results even few days before missing a period. Else, wait for about a week and repeat the test on overnight morning first urine sample. Urgency for urination though is one of the symptom of early pregnancy, it usually appears about 10 days after missed period.

Your both ovaries are showing follicular cysts and you are facing problem in conception. It is likely that you may be having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. However, your BMI is 22.7, which is within normal limits. Please get your blood examined for FSH, LH, Prolactin, Oestrogen and Progesterone. This will give us any evidence of PCOS.

Also, submit yourself for ovulation monitoring by ultrasonography. If you are ovulating, plan your intercourse on and around the date of ovulation. If you are not ovulating, you will have to take some medicines like Clomiphene citrate or HMG/hCG for induction of ovulation. In fact since your ovaries contain so many follicular cysts, hCG injection might help you.

Please report to your Gynaecologist and/or Infertility consultant.

I hope this provides you initial guidelines.
