I have had an ovarian cyst rupture before but it was a few days before my period. But this month i got my period yesterday and i had cramps and then all of a sudden it felt like the same pain as when the cyst ruptured before. The pain went away in an hour so i was wondering if a cyst could rupture while on your period? All answers are appricated thank you

I was diagnosed with a ruptured ovarian cyst 3 months ago. The symptoms prior to the rupture were pains in my lower right abdomen first in the middle of my cycle then at random times. One day I had really bad pains and an ultrasound revealed a ruptured cyst on my right ovary. My doctor prescribed some painkillers for the pain.

Since then the pain continues at mid cycle and a few days before my period. It seems to be increasing in intensity and duration, Is this normal?

I was kind of curious about it, my girlfriend’s doctor has told her since she was 14 that she has this, but she doesn’t match the symptoms that comes with it, she isn’t in any way over weight, she has no problems losing weight in fact she finds it hard to gain any, even pregnant she had problems gaining weight, and usually it causes women to not have their periods or for them to be very light (I did some research) But hers are heavy. And with PCOS, the cysts are usually small, and don’t cause a lot of pain. But hers aren’t small and cause her more pain then giving birth according to her and she had no drugs when having our daughter if that tells you anything.
My girlfriend’s symptoms are completely different.
1. She’s very tiny (5 ft. even never weighs over 110 lbs. even pregnant she was 138)
2. She doesn’t have acne at all her skin is always so beautiful.
3. Her periods are heavy and very irregular. (one can last a few days another a few weeks) we’ve been together almost two years and she’s been to the ER three times from losing too much blood due to her period.
4. She has the worst pains ever in her lower stomach, she says their like craps but much worse, I’ve set up many of nights with her trying to comfort her, and I hate hearing her cry over it.
5. They say women with PCOS have problems getting pregnant, birth control does nothing for preventing pregnancy with my girlfriend. She’s a very fertile little thing.

And these are just a few, the only problems I’ve noticed that she has are the cysts, and the high blood pressure, but even the blood pressure is a new symptom, she just got that one a couple of months ago yet she’s apperently had PCOS for the last 5 to 6 years if not longer, ever since she started her periods she says she’s had problems with them, her grandparents however thought she was making it up, so of course it went untreated until she was 14.

So really any info you can give on this would be a huge help.
I personally have a gut feeling that she doesn’t have this, especially since I know personally that her Dr. is a quack, but I could be wrong, after all I’m no Dr. myself, but even my Brother who is in medical school finds it fishy, my mother and sister who are each a nurse, and my uncle, who is and has been a Dr. for 23 years. They all say something doesn’t match up.

Are there any other types of cysts that cause the pains and the heavy bleeding? She has multiple cysts on each ovary, but they aren’t small and they cause many problems, and the Drs keep telling her that if they keep any worse they will have to remove her ovaries, at least one of them anyway, and they say that stress causes them to grow in size and get worse and that she shouldn’t stress out and they have even told her that if they get worse she could possibly die from it. Now I’m not Dr. but that sounds like a load of bulls*** to me, Any comments? Maybe even in the future this can help other women with the same problem.
No she doesn’t have any extra hair growth she has problems even getting her hair to grow longer, she’s been trying for a year to get it back the length it was when we met.

and she’s been on two different types of the bill, both have caused her to have seizures, and haven’t done any good for her periods or anything else for that matter, and the drs say there is only two types of birth control she can take for PCOS. which is why I came here. and like I said before, she has no problems getting pregnant, she had a micarriage once within the first two months we were together (long story stress caused that one) and then had our daughter, and recently we found out she was pregnant again, (stress again caused a miscarriage, along with a couple of accidents caused by an ex boyfriend.) Everything her Dr. says confuses me, so do the websites for the subject.

I have had an ovarian cyst before and unfortunately it ruptured and i had to go to the hospital and they just said there is nothing they could do because it was already ruptured. Now, almost a year later, having sharp pains in my lower left stomach that hurt when i sit, stand up laydown or cough. I have an achey yet severe stomach ache that gets worse when i eat, the feeling like im going to throw up, and i have noticed that my stomach is a little ‘puffy’ or bloated. Could this be an ovarian cyst that has not yet ruptured? Havent gone to the doctors yet, but may go tomorrow.

Thank You
Now the pain seems like it is moving over to the right… I still have had no fever within the last few days. My appetite has not changed, but it hurts alot right after i eat something.

the nurse practitioner put me on metformin 500 because my insulin level was high, not low and I’ve had irregular periods since I was 11. but it didn’t regulate it and my insulin had lowered a great amount. The nurse couldn’t figure out what was wrong. But another nurse had given me some information on PCOS. so I did some research on it. and come to find out, I had every last symptom that was listed. So my mom asked the nurse to get me tested. they did an ultra sound to see if there were cyst or anything, both inside and out. they called a few days later and told me I had polycystic ovarian syndrome. ones busted or something ,I have cyst, and I have fluid on the lining. something like that. my mom was in a hurry and didn’t tell me where I could understand. Anyways, the nurse wants to put me on birth control, but isn’t that used for the same reason metformin is? and is one of the side effects for metformin weight gain? because my weight is always constantly up and down,. out of nowhere I’ll lose 10 pounds and then gain 13 back. But when I went to the doctor about one in a half weeks ago, came back and found out I gained 10 pounds in only a week and a couple of days. I’m pretty sure it was the medicine, I’ve never gained that much weight in a week or so. should I tell the nurse? or should I just start watching what I eat? so after I take the pill, what’s next? is that it? I’ll still be able to have children, right? it’ll just be harder for me to conceive? or is there more to it?
im by the way =P

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.

My husband and I in summer of 2006 decided to try to start a family. Shortly after I got a positive on my pregnancy test. A week later I started bleeding. I went to the doctor’s right away, after a series of tests, and ultrasounds they determined I had an ovarian cyst. I had what was called a "false positive" on my pregnancy test.

Two months later I had the cyst and my right ovary removed. My left ovary is still intact. I was put on the pill again. Throughout this whole process I have gained weight, and hated the way I felt when I was on the pill.

The doctors told us that we should have no problem conceiving. We have now been trying for over a year. As of today, I am about 8 weeks late with my period. (I have always had it like clock work, I’ve never missed my period). I’ve taken a few pregnancy tests and they have come up negative.

I was just wondering if anyone else has been through something similar. I’ll be seeing a doctor in the next few days.
Thanks in advance!
Just to add, that 8 weeks really isn’t that long. I’m barley hitting the second missed period. Calling in to see a doctor, they won’t even see you if you haven’t missed at least one or two cycles. Everything I’ve researched and asked reveals that docs won’t even see you till you’re at least 6 weeks late. I’m two months late as of yesterday (2 months = 8 weeks)

Oftentimes they’ll tell you to wait. I also wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to start my period.

My boobs have grown about 3 cup sizes in the last 2 weeks. (I was wearing old bras (probably stretched out a bit) and they were C cups… Just got fitted today because none of my bras were fitting and I bought 2 DDD…) A few days ago they were TENDER, sore and swollen. I had an ovarian cyst removed from my right side the first week in October… And there’s cramps, or tightness, or something strange I feel on the right side… But I dont know if it’s a little baby growing or something from the surgery coming into play. Period’s not expected until 1/17. (I wrote the wrong date earlier) I’ve taken a pregnancy test but it was negative, as it’s way too early to tell… Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Also, I have a history horomone problems…. Last year I gained 27 lbs in 18 days of bcps— because the doc wanted to shrink the cyst. After that didn’t work and I was sooo emotional and gaining weight, they put me on nuvaring… 3 weeks later I had to go to ER with DVT’s and PEs! (Blood clots ALL OVER) Sooo, I am very horomonal and react, or I should say "over-react" to a flux in horomones… Went on blood thinners, then got the cyst removed… Now I’m here. What do you think?

Because of recent irregularity and rapid weight gain, my doctor suspects that I have PCOS. She drew some blood and I should get test results back in a few days. Three years ago, I went to the hospital for intense pain, and they found a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst on my right ovary - it was my first and only one to my knowledge. My period problems did not start until two years after that.

When I get my labs back, I’ll defintely ask my doctor these same questions, but I feel like I need to mentally prepare myself for having PCOS, and I was hoping that if you have it, you can share your story to give me insight into what I may be facing. My husband and I would like to have children someday - how would Polycystic ovaries affect this?

Again, I know I should be talking to my doctor, and I definitely will do that when I get my results. I am just looking for some personal experience.

Thank you

I had an ovarian cyst on my left ovarie last summer, but I never checked back up on it because my doctor insisted that "these things go away on their own." I haven’t really had too bad of problems with it except when my period comes each month. I have had increasing pain on my left side that feels like I am being gutted, a burning/cramping sensation down my left leg, and my whole left side is sensitive to touch. This only occurs a few days before my period and during it, then it goes away. Before I marked it off as really bad cramps, but last night I was unable to sleep because of the pain and today I can’t walk because of it. Could that old cyst be causing this?
Is it typical for it to hurt just during your period? No other time?

I had a hysterectomy in 97. I had my hysterectomy due to being pre-cancerous and also menustrating for 28 days each month for over a years time. Everything was removed except my right ovary. Since my surgery I have had significant weight gain, constant back and abdominal pain, and 9 yrs. later I still have no feeling where the scar is. Now I go back in for surgery once again in a few days to have my right overy removed and to have exploratory surgery due to all the scar tissue and other damage due to my hysterectomy. In the last 4 weeks I have been in so much pain, that at times it is unbearable. It is mainly in my lower abdomen and on the right side, but also continues to my left side and lower back. Sometimes it feels like labor pains. I was told that I had 6 cysts on my right ovary and that I have an 80% chance that this is ovarian cancer. I have had numerous tests done recently and alot of unexpected weight gain? Will my body?stomache ever get back into shape?

about five months ago i started getting really bad stomach aches. at first i thought it was just menstrual cramps, but the pain was so bad and so severe that i couldnt move and i felt like i was going to throw up. i was taken to the emergency room and checked for appendicitis, but it wasnt swollen. a few weeks later when the stomach aches kept happening, i got an ultrasound of my pelvic region and they found that i had a small cyst on my left ovary. since i have been on birth control, they said that the hormones that are in the pill could help make it smaller, so there was no need to be concerned at the time. a few days ago, i started getting the same stomach aches again. i had to pull over while driving because the pain was so bad. it hurts the most on the left side, which makes me concerned.. i dont know if i should bring it up to my doctor, or if im just overreacting? if anyone has any idea or has ever experienced anything like this before i would really appreciate hearing from you.

I have at least one ovarian cyst. It’s on my right ovary and it used to be over 5 cms but I feel like it’s only gotten bigger.. But I just went in for another ultrasound a few days ago and I think I saw another cyst on my left ovary but they couldn’t tell me because I have to wait until my appt on friday. But this past week I’ve been have pain on each side. Like on my ovaries.. And I usually have pain on my right one that is like a cramping pain.. But now it’s like it’s being pushed on pain.. Like I have to go to the bathroom a lot because it hurts on my right lower abdomen if my bladder gets at all full.. Is this because my cyst is way bigger now?
Also. It doesn’t just hurt if my bladder is full. It hurts when I walk. Like I can feel something weird being pushed on..

I am had some problems over the past year. But within the past few weeks of so I have developed a distended/bloated stomach. Seems as though I had no or minimal weight gain but difficulty getting my pants on. It starts right at the bottom of my ribcage and doesn’t stop until it it reaches my private area. It almost looks as though I am pregnant, but I know I am not. Over the past year my problmes have been with urination and pain. I sometimes get urges to go when I bend backwards. If I stretch the muscle at the bottom of me ribcage (near the sternum) I really have to go! Also, I have been getting cramps during ovulation. It really hurts inside on the left side when I urinate, like near my ovaries. But that is only for a few days to a week or of the whole month. But I do have the urge to urinate throughout. When I push semi-hard on my lower left side I feel a lump. I have had ovarian cysts before and I didn’t have symptoms like this. I have read that my symptoms could be ovarian cancer.
Oh, I forgot to mention that it is not constipation. I have regular bowel movements.
And no gas either.
I don’t eat much food containing milk. My booyfriend is lactose intolerant so we use alot of soy mik products. But I might have to consider that. I know it’s not salt causing this either. I have tried to eliminat a lot of salt out of my diets which wasn’t much, with no results.
I forgot to mention that I full very fast when I eat. I can’t even get halfway thru a meal before I start feeling full. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat it because I know I need to eat and need the nutrition.
I don’t dcrink any alcohol. And I also don’t drink carborated beverages. I drink tea and water only.
