I have an ovarian cyst!! - Women's Health Message Board

Hi, last night I went to the emergency room because I was in so much pain. when I called my doctor she told me I may have a tubual pregnancy..........so of course I went to get it checked out. They told me that I have and ovarian cyst thats about 3 cm. I may have to have it removed if it continues to be so painful ( I even feel the pain shooting down my thighs!) My question was if I am actually ovulating or not? was wondering because I have a history of not ovulating.

Please reply, Thanx

Its hard to tell you can have cysts without ovulating.

I have had surgery for a cist before and also have 2 cists right now. All woman get cists on there ovaries. They come from ovulating, the only thing is most cists go down with your period. In some situations the cists do not go down but continue to grow with ovulation each month. My doctors both times have put me on birth control to try and control the cists but unfortunatly it didn't work the first time and it is not working now. To answer your question you are most likely ovulating because that is where cists on your ovaries normally come from. I hope this has helped. Keep us updated.

I just ended my AF and I still have cramping. Do you think my cyst has not gone down?

It usually takes a couple of days afterward to see if the pain has subsided. Remember your period can put a big strain on you when you have something wrong down there it can ake a few days to recoup.
