I am 31 and was just told I have a dermoid cyst on both of my ovaries. What does this mean for my fertility? The Dr wants to remove them laparoscopically which always means possibility of damage to my ovaries or even worse removal. I'm scared and really want to have children! My husband and I planned to start trying for a family next summer. Advice or experience on dermoid cysts and fertility anyone??

A laparosopy is a simple procdure and is designed to be able to help you the best way they can. First and foremost, your health is important.
I was told in Sept that I had a mass on an ovary and that ovary would need to be removed with a chance of the 2nd one going too.
Luckily only one was removed, but it was discovered it had low grade Cancer so I am happy it was removed.
Hopefully I will start treatment for PCOS soon, having one ovary wont stop me.
The point of my ramble is, there is always hope and try not to be too down about it. Their job is to 1) make sure you are healthy and 2) to do what they can to retain your fertility.
My Dr stressed they would do that for me, despite not knowing if i can cancer or not. He helped me and reassured me he was doing his best to retain that fertility.
I am sure yours will too

I am childless and the Drs still managed to save my right ovary while taking the left. They will know what is best for you.
In my opinion, and its only an opinion. I would get the cysts sorted first. They can cause health issues, they can burst or develop cancer like mine did. Become healthy and then try for a baby.
But the Dr will know the best way for you, its their job remember
