Hi Kayla. Yes, ultrsound looked for cysts on right side. That was my
OBGYN's first thought. However, my very first ultrasound for cyst on
left side (prior to laparoscopy) failed to show the cyst. Then he
removed one the size of a huge grapefruit. But for some reason, he is
really relying on this second ultrasound and doesn't think it is another
cyst. Haven't done a preg test but did just have my period (if that's
what it was!)
