Questions in The Maternal and Child Health Forum are being answered by medical professionals from Henry Ford Health System , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. I have had two ultrasounds. When ovarian cysts need treatment in pregnancy, obstetricians prefer to do surgery between the 14th and 20th week from last menstrual period. The risk of miscarriage during this window in time is small and the uterus has not grown to a size that interferes with access to the ovaries. The organ systems have now formed and there is low risk for any malformations from medical treatment.
