I have not went back in for my follow up ultrasound but I am worried that they will find something really wrong because of the pain that I am still in. The cyst was 5 centimeters when it ruptured and the doctors say that the fluid left behind would cause some discomfort until it all got absorbed, but I am afraid that this pain is indicative of something else. Any ideas on how long it takes to recover from this or if it might be something else?
The pain is all of the way across my lower abdomen and it comes and goes but it sometimes severe. The ovary that had the cyst was the right ovary. Tylenol does not work and Ibopfren only works slightly.

I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts a few years ago and since then, my gyno has been attempting to treat them with birth control pills. However, I have a bad reaction to each pill.
The first (I can’t remember the name of that one) caused me to gain tons of weight and I was nauseous the entire time.
Next, she tried me on ortho, and I was having severe "pregnancy" symptoms without being pregnant. Everything from morning sickness to heightened sensitivity to smells and weight gain, yet again.
Finally, I just recently tried yaz. Again, with the weight gain AND I bled for 17 days out of the first month. I felt lethargic the entire time.
Has anyone else had such trouble with birth control pills?

I am 19 years old and unfortunately i am starting to have some problems: endometriosis and ovarian cysts. so i am going to the doctors on wednesday and want to get started on birth control to help out with my situation.
So i was wondering if some lovely ladies could help me by saying what birth control they take and the pros and cons: clear skin, breast growth, weight gain, mood swings.
THANKS!

I went to the ER yesterday because I thought I had a kidney stone but the doctor said it was a ruptured ovarian cyst. He sent me home with pain meds and thats all they can do; however, I still think its a kidney stone. It hurts more when I pee, and it also hurts more when I have gas moving around in my tummy that I’m about to pass.
Did any one else have this and did it hurt more when they urinated???
I would go back to the ER but we had to wait there for SO long and I have a 5 week old baby so its just a huge hassle. Maybe I’ll go to my regular doctor tomorrow.

I went to hosp in May for pain, found out I had Ovarian Cysts. Since then pain stopped. About 2 weeks ago pain came mildly again. Today I went to hosp & doc told me looks like i had a "ruptured" ovarian cyst. What i’m confused about is the fact that my period has been regular "lately" (b/c it was off years ago) but my last one was July 9. i’m late 2 months, been crampy, nausea, vomit, weight gain, fatigue, & i know its too early but my belly has bulged out more in my clothes. I crave breads, ice cream, & create weird condiment mixes like ketchup, mayo, mustard & ranch dressing to eat with my chicken strips. When i took a hpt my homegirl & i both thought we saw a FAINT (very very very) light pink line, but doc did a urine & he said Negative. Vaginal ultrasound showed cysts but they didnt mention if they looked for pregnancy. I read another question where a lady said the cyst were blocking the baby, is that possible? Why do i feel & look preg & my period 2 months late if i’m not??? PLEASE SERIOUS RELIABLE ANSWERS…. I’m lost.. I’m 27 & i would like to have a baby someday.

i went to my college’s ER and just found out I have 2 cysts on my right ovary, both about 2 cm long. they only told me i had cysts and to see a doctor on campus. they said it probably doesn’t need to be removed, but i’ve been having constant, aching pelvic pain for the past couple of days. will this pain always be here if i don’t have them removed? is it possible these cysts will just go away on their own?

A bit of history on me. I have had an eating disorder for ten yrs(anorexia purging type)For the past two summers I have had ovarian cysts removed. I’m starting to get symptoms again but some of them don’t mesh. After my surgery last yr my weight went up even though I’m restricting. My nutritionist doesn’t think this makes sense. I’ve had lower back pain, achy pains, weight gain, constipation, nasea etc, drinking and peeing alot. I also know that I was born with 1 kidney so maybe it has something to do with that. I’ve never got that checked out. I went to a gastro dr and he said it was probably ibs but things have gotten worse. Should I go back to gyno office even though I’ve had two scans since feb but the pain is intense? My friend suggested endocronoligist, I was think may I should go see a nephrologist(kidney doc) ?

When is the most likley time for another cyst to happen? a few months?, years?
Any Help is Great!

Ok- maybe someone has some experience they can share. . I am 26 and had my 1st depo at age 15. I was on depo until i was 19, stopped, got on BC pills for 6 months, stopped to conceive my 1st child and after I had my daughter at age 20 - started taking depo again until January 2007. Am now on the BC pills again. Is it possible that the depo "paused" puberty for me? my breasts have started to grow?? and im not gaining weight any where else & am not pregnant…. have also had the ovarian cysts & some really bad back pain- and my periods came back right away ?? anybody been where i am now?

I had an ovarian cyst on my right ovary to rupture yesterday. The pain was so debilitating and excruciating that I was rushed to the ER for fear of appendicitis. After a CT scan, they saw that I had a lot of fluid around my pelvis and still had a cyst of about 3.1 cm (which means it burst, but it has still not fully ruptured). While I am not in the excruciating pain I was yesterday, I am still in pain. How long does the pain of a ruptured ovarian cyst typically last?

I was diagnosed with a 4.2 cm wide ovarian cyst about 3 weeks ago. They didn’t give me any pain relievers until a couple days later, which was Tylenol with Codeine to also help me sleep a little.
2 weeks later, it’s still causing major pain. I’ve missed 9 days of school because of it. We went back to the doctor and he said he would refer me to an OBGYN.
I’m only 14, and this is my first cyst. My mom and grandmother have had a series of cysts and tumors. My mom has endometriosis too. We basically have a lot of heredity with this.
What are the chances that this cyst will have to be removed surgically, and what are the chances that my OBGYN will do a pelvic exam tomorrow?
Plus, I’m a virgin, so will that, along with the pain of the cyst, make this experience [pelvic exam] painful and severely uncomfortable?
At first, they thought it was appendicitis, but my appendix is fine, so they outruled that with a CT Scan with injection and barium. That’s how they found the cyst.

recently i got diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. still waiting on the results from the ultra sounds to see how big they really are. and i have gotten really dull aches to sharp stabbing pains that come and go. but what causes the really sharp ones and does it mean that it might rupture soon?
