I had this procedure done due to a ectopic pregnancy 9 years ago and I still haven't been able to conceive. My sex life is normal, vaginal health still good. The depression was bad at first. Now I'm better. This procedure has lowered my fertility but in my case it was a life-saving procedure. I hope to have more children before 45.

You’re right, feeling how it began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Ovarian Cyst Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.
