Okay, so here we go, i am on birth control, back in June i was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst which should have gone away by now, that bothered me a lot, but although i am on birth control i had unprotected sex on July 27th, ever since then it has scared me that maybe i could be pregnant, now, when i think about it it just makes me nausea’s. I was on a certain type of birth control and then i switched it to something else around the time a few days later was when i got my new birth control. I am not gaining any weight, don’t have weird cravings, i have frequent urination only on the days that i drink more then other days. My breasts aren’t tender but on some days you can see the veins just a little but then they go away. I have not a missed a single period but my birth control causes it to come later in my pink pills, like when i have only two left, and it lasts for 2 days and then by monday it is gone. But this birth control makes me feel weird because i have a sensitive feeling when you press on my stomach but not when i am laying down. I don’t know what to do, and don’t tell me to take a test because i can’t.

Hi, my brother’s wife is pregnant with her first, and I’m no pregnancy expert or anything but it really seems like something might be wrong to me. I don’t see them too often because they live a fair bit away…but I saw them on October 15th on my sister’s birthday and she had just found out she was pregnant and she was having no morning sickness or pains in her breasts or anything. But she was dead tired and she WAS feeling cramping and she said the cramps were keeping her up at night and were getting unbearable. She went to her ob/gyn and they said it was just an ovarian cyst. Saw her again on November 18th for my dad’s birthday, and she same thing still no sickness or any pregnancy symptoms, but she still had the dead tired feeling. Saw her again today on christmas and she looked awful! Again dead tired, pale, and like she hadn’t really been taking care of herself too well….she fell asleep in the middle of opening presents and just looks so dang run down. Also she’s 4 months along (not sure of the week…but she said she’s going to find out the baby’s sex on January 4th if that gives you an idea), but she’s not showing at all nor has she gained any weight. Infact she said that she’s lost around 15 pounds since she found out she’s pregnant and none of her pants fit her because they are too big. This really concerns me….like I said I’m not expert or anything on pregnancy but this doesn’t sound like anyone I’ve ever heard of. Is this abnormal and concerning?? or is it just a less common normal. Thanks!

i have had a red rash like on my breasts. when i look at it closely its a bunch of tiny veins. also, have migraines and have had a loss of periods. i have bad cramping alll the time. but never get my period i was checked for ovarian cysts in april they said it all looked great. the cramps are constant. also, have a back ache.

what could this be? does anyone know? i know this all has to be linked.

NO IM NOT PREGNANT.

Im going to my doctor soon to get it all checked out.

My diet has not changed.
I’m 20 years old, Female.
Im not under stress.
I eat healthy.
I am not over or under weight and have not gained or lossed any

There are some really weird things going on that are worrying me. They may or may not be related. I have been to the doctor once but not since due to an insurance fiasco.

First, no matter what I eat, I feel weird after. I wouldn’t say I feel nauseous and I don’t vomit, I have his feeling like I’m hungry again, I have what seems like heart burn, I get bad gas (out of both ends) and have searing pain from the middle of my abdomen up to my chest randomly. It is mainly when I eat grain products and dairy, but I just had a salad and I feel that way too. I have had this once before, two years ago, but this is worse. I have never been very regular and I am more constipated now.

Second, I have strange pain under my ribs and in my upper back, especially when I breathe out. This isn’t constant but at least once a day I feel this. It is annoying. I also have some pain at the top of my breasts, pretty much on my chest. This is what I went to the doctor for initially and they pretty much said they didn’t know what was wrong and that it was probably stress. I am busy and under a lot of stress as a senior in college, but even when I’m relaxed I feel this.

Third, I have lower back, lower abdominal and pelvic pain sometimes. This has occurred in the past and never bothered me but I find myself concerned. Cramps are normal before and during my period but not after, like now. I am sexually active but I am very careful (we use condoms, the pill and he won’t ejaculate inside the condom while he’s in me) and have one partner, so there is no way I could be pregnant or have an STI. I have been tested since my last partner and I was clean. I had a normal period this month also.

Fourth, and this has been going on for a very long time, I am extremely fatigued all the time. I can get an hour of sleep, 8 hours of sleep or a whole day of sleep and still feel the same. Putting one foot in front of the other is a chore, forget working out. I’ve gained weight because of this. I am taking multivitamins to see if that helps and it’s not helping so far.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? These are all real symptoms. My mom says I’m a hypochondriac but I am just trying to take care of myself and want some peace of mind until I can get back to the doctor. My friend has something similar going on and they have no idea what’s wrong. Her main issue is the feeling sick after eating anything. I’ve thought of IBS, gallbladder issues, Crones disease, endometriosis, an ovarian cyst, some sort of infection, pregnancy (which I definitely am not after the normal period), a thyroid problem, a gluten allergy, etc. Not sure if any of those things are possibilities, I will probably have blood drawn at the appointment. Has anyone else felt this way? Any info. would be great.
Just to clear something up, I got the insurance mess taken care of today. I have coverage and have made an appointment for next week. I just want to hear some opinions.

I’m not sure if i’m pregnant or if I have an ovarian cyst because many of the symptoms are the same. I took two "1st Response" hpt’s and they both read negative….but I missed my period this month, and sometimes I have a sharp pain only on the left side near my uterus area (especially every-time I lay down and go to bed). I have also gained weight on my sides and stomach, and I spotted a brownish color for 3.4 days, once or twice a day, then stopped, similar to implantation bleeding, I even had a small white discharge once. My breasts are also sensitive similar to pregnancy, and I’ve been more hungry, and food picky…..Could I be pregnant and have an ovarian cyst? or is it one or the other?

I was wondering if Planned Parent Hood would be a good place to go to find out what’s wrong with me. Do they do everything?
Can this even be an ectopic pregnancy?
I know I should have gone to a doctor, but I have absolutely no money right now…i’m waiting on an email from my mom to see if I can barrow some from her, but she’s out of the country for a whole month….i’m trying to get her to wire some money…..I was going to call planned parent hood tomorrow and set up an appointment….

I have a tendency to get (painful) ovarian cysts alot, so my Doctor is putting me on birth control just to stop ovulation so I won’t get the cysts anymore. (I find it hilarious, because I’m a virgin going on the pill. Ironic huh?) Anyway,the type I’m going to use is levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol. I heard that it made you gain weight and make your breasts hurt. Is it true? It’s not like I’m not going to use it if it does, but I’d like to know in advance to know If I should like go to the gym or something.

Hi. I am very suspicious that I have an ovarian cyst. I had one a year ago and it disapeared. This time my symptoms are exactly the same. Irregualr periods, pain in breasts, acne….etc. Can a cyst cause pain in your sciatic nerve? I can’t sleep at night because its so uncomfortable. The pain is mostly in my rear (right side)

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 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.

We’ve been ttc for 6 months… I haven’t had a period for 3.
He thinks its his little men with "problems" as well as my messed up hormones (which the doctor won’t treat… he put me on the pill a couple of months ago before I start fertility treatment to regulate my hormones a bit, but he says I can’t start it til my next period, which I haven’t had).
My amazing fiance doesn’t moan about the struggle we’re having doing this, he says he loves me no matter what, but when we go out and see teenage mothers, or indeed any family with young children, I can see the hurt in his eyes, and the guilt is eating me up inside, as well as my inner hatred for myself.
I’m constantly getting cramps, but my GP just put it down to IBS and gave me pills. These cramps arise every two weeksish, but sometimes I get the odd twinge. My breasts sometimes get sore but not on a regular basis. I’m going to push the fact that I want a scan to see whether I’ve got ovarian cysts or cancer (worst case scenario), next time I go to GP, but he’ll probably just laugh it off like he usually does.
Btw, I really admire all the lovely people that have been trying for ages and never give up, you guys are the inspiration for me continuing this and not just throwing the towel in and giving up
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with my man problems over this (I’m sure it’s not his little men, his father had 5 kids no problem lol), and natural ways of ttc, and increasing chances of ovulation? I have a balanced diet… although i sometimes have too much dairy products. I’m not overweight though, and I don’t have any other major health problems, other than my lack of periods… which runs in the family… but my mother and grandmother never had periods so irregular as mine.
I’m more relaxed about it now than I was, and I’ve stopped worrying so much, but I don’t want us to suffer any more trauma over this.
Help?

Im a 23 yr old female with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Irritable bowel syndrome i m on the yasmin pill and my diet and exersize is spot on. Any one know any reason why this cyst are accouring or have any tips how to get rid of them ( on my face ) its honestly driving me insane feeling these bumps under my skin and having to go to the doctor monthly a week after my cycle to get my breasts checked..

Ok, whenever I work out, my ovaries hurt so badly. It sucks, because I love feeling good and working out when at all possible. It doesnt effect me when I’m on my period, they dont hurt at all. Only when I work out. My mom had them, and I have had cysts in my breasts. Now, I researched and found that doctors give birth control to women with this problem. I know surgery is also an option.. but I am the type of person who would want to avoid both of them at all costs. What other organic options are there? Anything I could do to my diet? I know for a fact that I have them although I havent gone to a doctor.. I just feel it. THEY SUCK. Any ideas? I really do not want to start up on medication. I’m only 15.
