My doctor says I might have one and I’m looking for similar women’s experiences just to compare.

I’ve had this pain in my right side, I thought it was a torn oblique muscle, but discovered the pain while having sex. Then it was really painful right before my period and hurts when I try to excercise or anything strenuous. I dont have insurance. What should I do?

is there a way to tell which one it is and does ovulation kits predict the time you are dropping an egg OR the time before you ovulate?

I haven’t had my period since May 25th, and for the past three months I’ve been told assume that I’m pregnant until confirmed otherwise. I’ve had no confirmations at all, and just today I was just told by my pathetic excuse of a doctor, that weight gain, food aversion, smell aversion, increased appetite, heavy achey breasts, ance breakouts, constepation, hot and cold flashes, mood swings, bloating, and no period are all causes of PCOS and/or an ovarian cyst.

Is this true?

I haven’t had any pain or discomfort in my pelvic region, nor do I have any unusual raised areas where a cyst could be, so to me these are pregnancy symptoms. I’ve had normal and regular periods for 10 years now, not missing one.
I know that PCOS and ovarian cysts cannot develop overnight, or even within a week. There’s just no way. My GYNO doctor would have detected any abnormalites when I had my annual pap towards the end of May.

Can anyone give me some detailed information (if you or a family member went though it) on these conditions, and other possible symptoms?
I’ve seen a doctor 3 times within the last 2 months, and all all 3 visits (including today) I was told to just continue on thinking that I’m pregnant. My temp. doctor now just wants to give me a shot of progesterone to induce a period and restart my period…(without even checking to see if I’m pregnant or not).
Since I’m military (spouse), I cannot switch doctors. I have to be referred.
I did take a test. The period I missed was supposed to be June 22. I took a HPT 4 days later. Negative.

I have sharp pain in my ovaries and severe aching pain in my legs everytime I have my period and sometimes when Im not on my period. The pain gets worse over the years. But I have light periods that seem to last longer days now. What could this possibly be? Is it just menstrual pain or is it something serious?

I went to my OB/GYN because of horrible stabbing pains near my left ovary. He did an ultrasound and found a 3cm cyst on my right ovary. Now he wants me to go to a stomach specialist to see if anything else like IBS is causing the pain on my left side before doing surgery. Could IBS be causing this pain or the cyst even if it’s on the right ovary. I thought IBS felt like horrible gas pains. Not stabbing pains in one spot.

Also, can anyone tell me about the surgery to remove ovarian cysts? Was it painful? How long were you in the hospital?
I’ve also been bleeding since the pain started. I’m not sure if that’s from my IUD that I got in or the cyst.

I had my first postpartum period at 10 months, so heavy I had to go to the ER on doctor’s orders. Negative pregnancy test, no fibroids/cysts on ultrasound. That period lasted 8 days. On CD14, I started having a pinching feeling in my left ovary (not unbearable, but uncomfortable). It lasted a couple of days and was followed by brown spotting (when wiping only) on CD15.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s probably a cyst that developed since CD6, when I had an ultrasound, or if I am ovulating. I was irregular before my pregnancy, so I’m just trying to figure out what is going on with my body and if I should get another ultrasound or just go back on the pill as long as we didn’t accidentally get pregnant (had an uh-oh around that time).

Hello. Well I have some symptoms that are related to ovarian cyst symptoms. I feel pinching sensations on my pelvic(where my ovaries are located) but its not painfull. Just a lil tiny bit. The skin in my ovary area kinda gets puffy when i sit down or lay down. Also the skin in my ovary area throbs slowly whenever i move my legs. I only felt nauseous once and vomited once (but i think i vomited because i didnt eat for a whole day) but i dont know. Sometimes i feel pinching sensations on my thighs. I have NOT gotten a fever. My lower back rarely hurts a small bit. On march 2010, i did an ultrasound and the docters said i was healthy. but that was already 5 months ago. I went to the docter last week and told her i still have the same symptoms and she said that there is nothing to worry about. She told me to come back when my symptoms get worse. I wanted to get another ultrasound test but i didnt ask the docter for one. So now im worried. Do you think i might possibly have ovarian cyst? thanks for your help. Oh, im 17 years old.

I have an ovarian cyst on my right ovary every month according to the doctors it ruptures and regrows. Which cause great pain it makes me have flu symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. But the cyst always ruptures the day of my period, and I usually can feel it growing a few weeks before my period which causes a lot of discomfort too. I have been to three gynecologists,emergency room (thought my appendix ruptured), and my family doctor they all say it can not be removed and its fine. The only suggestions they have for the pain is pain killers which i will NOT take on a monthly basis, and birth control which I cannot have because of a history of blood clots in my family. I have only had three external ultrasounds done on it. Basically for the last 7 years I have been having this problem and doctors only give me minimal information about it or what to do about it for that matter. I’m pretty scared I’m not going to be able to have children because of this cyst. And I know its more than just a cyst and I know there’s something else that can be done about it as opposed to me just being obnoxiously sick every month from this. Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong and what to do about it.

Hi, I’m 16 and have the following symptoms which I think are linked to ovarian cysts…what do you think?
-irregular periods
-very painful periods
-sharp, stabbing pains ‘down there’
-bloated, pressure feeling ‘down there’
-very light bleeding for no reason
-occasional excruciating stomach pains
- I am not sexually active so this could NOT be an STD
