It is possible that this is a corpus luteum cyst. A doctor can look at the ultrasound and get a better idea of what type of cyst it is. This is one of the reasons that better ultrasound technician don't tell patients the results of the scan. They are not trained properly to know all the possibilities because they are not doctors. It is a large cyst. You are doing the right thing by talking to your OB/GYN next week. Try not to worry.
