Hello,

A nabothian cyst is a normal finding in the cervix, especially in women who have been pregnant and has no impact on a pregnancy.  If you think you might be pregnant you should see your physician, and consider taking a home pregnancy test.  

When using a home pregnancy test it is important that you are comfortable using the test and have correctly followed the instructions.  Also, you should know that not all home pregnancy tests are equal in their sensitivity (i.e., the ability to detect the hormone of pregnancy when it is present).  False negatives can occur and it is usually because the test was performed to early.  To be sure a negative result is a true negative, you should repeat the test in one week. The most sensitive of these are First Response Early Result and Clearblue Easy Earliest Results.

Best of luck,

Dr. Downing

Hi there
If you have only missed one period then you should not yet be able to tell if you are pregnant through the size of your stomach. I didn't start to show with my son until I was 4 months pregnant and my sister who had twins didn't start to show until she was 3 months pregnant. If you are unsure take a pregnancy test. It could be the cyst that is making your tummy look larger, you really need to go back to your doctor to have this checked out.
