A cyst

So after what feels like a fight trying to get my doctor notes to understand what I have lost I made another call today and they missed the one document I wanted - the Histology report. Apparently there was a benign serous cyst that was also found with the tube and pregnancy tissue - could this have been a cause to why the pregnancy was ectopic?! Has anyone else had this?

Dear LTQKVS,

I am sorry you are unable to get full answers,

It is difficult to say it the cyst was the cause. If it was there and blocking the tube, It could easily stop the embryo on its journey, but I’m afraid I don’t have a definitive answer for you.

Sending much love,
