I was looking into getting the Implanon implant birth control next week… Anyone have any personal experience with it? I have tried just about every birth control out there and discovered that they all make me horribly sick! :o( like vomiting, nausea, ALL that. I was on the Nuvaring(which i LOVED) but it messed with my nerves SOOO bad it felt like my skin was constantly crawling. I would like to know if it has made anyone sick, gain weight, etc.
BTW: i have a 2 year old and would not mind having another child. The main reason I have been on birth controls is because I get Severe ovarian cysts that cause my period to be VERY irregular and pain. I DO NOT want the IUD. Thanks.

I’m about to ovulate, and for the last week or so, I’ve had on and off pain in both my ovaries (much worse in the left one, though). I’m guessing it’s ovarian cysts, because I’ve had them before and they felt like this, just not as bad.

The pain’s been especially bad today… it comes and goes, though. I’m also shaky and have nausea, although that could be from the fact that I’ve barely slept in over 24 hours (for other reasons) and I’m stressed out that the cysts could mean that I have PCOS (the thought of it really scares me).

How can I get rid of the pain and calm down so I can get some sleep?
Also, this is my second cycle on Fertilaid, if that makes a difference (I didn’t have any problems with cysts on the first cycle of it).

I experience major PMS, depression, and mood swings. I start cramping sometimes five days before I start my period. Take right now for example. I have been cramping the past four days and still no period. I’m sure it’s going to come tomorrow, but then I’ll have to deal with bleeding so bad I can’t go even an hour without changing my tampon. The bleeding is only bad the first two days usually, and I sometimes get clots.
My periods last seven days with major bloating and a temporary five pound water weight gain. I get very cranky and depressed. The cramps the first day are sometimes so unbearable I can’t lay down, I can’t stand up… whatever position I’m in still hurts. Sometimes the cramps are so bad they even go down into my legs, and I get nauseated and I’ve even thrown up before. When it gets too bad, I have to lay in the bathtub with hot water or use a hot pad. I have to take prescription pain killers for the cramps, but even they don’t work too well.
I also experience pain when I ovulate. I can feel very sharp pains in my side. Sometimes it hurts so bad I can’t stand up. I’ve been hospitalized twice for ovarian cysts.
So basically half the month I’m in pain from either ovulating, having PMS, or cramping. It’s so horrible. It’s like I can’t even live a normal life when I feel like this all the time.
I’m 33 years old, almost 34, and it’s been like this ever since I first started my period when I was around 11 years old. I have never been pregnant… I think it’s very possible I have endometriosis (that’s what doctors suspect) and I probably won’t ever be able to conceive. I’ve had unprotected sex on and off since I was 17 and I have never gotten pregnant.
I tried Depo Provera to help with the cramps and cysts, but I had bad side effects and had to stop because I constantly spotted for 17 months. It didn’t stop the cysts anyway. I’m not able to take the birth control pill either. I took it once and had severe vomiting and numbing in my arms like I was going to have a stroke and had to stop that as well. My body seems extra sensitive to hormones. My mom can’t tolerate them either. So basically I use no birth control, but I don’t get pregnant anyway.
I feel like I’m out of options. I don’t do well on hormones so I don’t think I can go that route.
I have seen a specialist and she suggests I get laproscopy. I’ve never had any sort of surgery besides wisdom teeth so I am absolutely terrified and I keep putting it off. I don’t know if I can go through with it.
I am also getting older now and it makes me sad to think I may never have a family.
Most of all, I just want the pain to stop. Is there anything I can do? Anything natural that could help me? Is laproscopy really necessary? I hear if you have endometriosis, it keeps coming back even if you have surgery, and the only way it temporarily goes away is if you get pregnant. Well I don’t think I can get pregnant since I haven’t all these years. I just feel sad and hopeless right now, so if you have any advice I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
I do exercise six days a week (cardio three days, strength training three days).
I still get cramps though… some months not as bad as others. I think my diet can have an affect on it as well. Any foods I should avoid?

I went to the ER in Colorado and they wanted to operate on my apendix but then I said no and released myself. Then on Tuesday I went to the ER where I live and they said it was ovarian cysts.
I have 16 cysts and 6 have ruptured.

I suffered from constant nausea and epigastric pain for about 2 weeks. The nausea eased off but the pain has persisted. It happens sporadically throughout the day right around my xiphoid process and in the bottom of my ribs on both sides, but more on the right. I have a constant discomfort in the epigastric region that sometimes feels like bloating, but other times feels more like extreme emptiness. I have lost 5 pounds in just a week or two and am now down to only 103 lbs. I have actually been trying to gain weight since I’m 5′7".I am 26 years old I suffer from Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromyalgia, TMJ, PCOS, and leaky so I have a lot of chronic pain issues anyways. I have felt a pulling sensation in my upper abdomen before that turned out to be ovarian cysts, but my sonogram and CT scan came back clear. I was tested for COPD and had a chest Xray done just a few weeks ago that came back fine. My doctor is stumped, what kinds of tests should I suggest? Could it be gallstones or liver related?

I have a history of getting ovarian cysts. I recently noticed that I get awful bad breath that won’t go away even when I use mouth wash and brush my teethe right before I get bad pain from having a cyst rupture. This doesn’t make any sense to me, how does an ovarian cyst cause bad breath. Does this happen to anyone else?
I floss and go to a dentist regularly and they always tell me that I have good dental hygiene.

This is my history of my illness. If ANYBODY can help I would greatly appreciate it!!

When I began my period it was regular but heavy. I was in 7th grade.

In 8th grade it continued and I had frequent infections. In December I had a sinus infection. January strep throat. February viral throat infection. March sinus infection. April viral throat infection. May sinus infection.

In 9th grade I had 1 or 2 sinus infections. My periods became irregular and eventually stopped when I lost weight due to anorexia, depression, and anxiety.

In 10th grade I had complications from my anorexia. I had bradicardia, postural orthostatic tachecardia, low alkaline phosphotase, and 2 other electrolytes. I was in the hospital twice and it saved my life. I devloped insomnia also and was put on many medications, constantly switching.

I’ve been on zofoft, zyprexa, effexor, cymbalta, prostiq, wellbitrin, and revia (for cutting).

Then I developed bulimia. I developed ovarian cysts (4 of them seperatly, one he size of a lemon) and stopped my bulimia because of the pain.

The next year (this year) in 11th grade I developed off and on severe abdominal pain. Every time they found or assumed I had small cysts on my ovaries. Then I developed a severe case of he flu. I was vomiting, had intense stomach pains, fever, headache, fatigue, etc. After that the abdominal symptoms would not go away. I had chronic abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting along with constipation and diarrhea.

They said I had a bad case of gastroenteritis. I went into the hospital for my depression which was torure on top of that. I was diagnosed with PTSD. I then went on Prozac, klonopin, abilify, seroquel, and anaspaz and phenergan to control my symptoms. I also had off and on fevers and continued to have sharp and stabbing pain.

Then they did a colonoscopy and endoscopy to find nothing except I was lactose intollerant. I cut out lactose and still have symptoms. Over that time I lost 40 lbs unintentionally this time. There were days where I couldn’t get a bite in me! So they gave me and ng tube.

I gained 10 lbs in 2 months and they took it out because at that point I had tons of heartburn and vomiting. I tried prilosec, pepcid, prevacid, and something for an ulcer with no relief.

I had a gastric emptying test which shows delayed gastric emptying. I am now on bethanechol and prevacid for that. Currently they think I’m having abdominal intestinal spasms which hurt so bad and they won’t let me take pain meds. I have a moderate fever, left side pain below my bellybutton, severe fatigue and weakness to the point where Im about to colapse.

I don’t know what else to do! I feel miserable!

Oh and I’ve been on yaz, lo ovral, depo provera, and now seasonique for my period, always with a month of breakthrough bleeding.
Recent blood tests, ct scan, ultrasound, and urine were normal besides excess protein.

Recently had strep throat also.

I’ve always suffered with excessive weight gain from childhood and even more so through my teenage years. I am now 14 stone at the age of 23. I have hair growth on my face and tmi but really long pubic hair. I have irregular periods and irregular ovulation. My periods are painful and heavy. But when i started my periods I was at a young age and started having them once a year or every six months untill i became sexually active. I have irregular twinges and dull aches throughout my entire cycle which can be painfull and hard to live everyday life. Ive tried losing weight but it just wont shift. I eat healthy, take vitamins i don’t drink or smoke either.

My family history is my mother couldn’t concieve for 10 years. My father has Type 2 Diabeties, High blood pressure & high cholestrol.

It took around 4 years to get pregnant and we have been TTC #2 now for 2.5 years almost. Ive had ultrasounds (Ovarian Cysts on both ovaries 5cm each), swab tests and blood tests (which apparently came back normal) but I am totally convinced I have PCOS. But the GP won’t do anything says we are young and already have a child. But tomorrow we are going for a second opinion with charts and research of PCOS.

I’d like to know how long it took for you to be diagnosed with PCOS and how long before they gave meds such as metformin & clomid to treat the irregular periods?

I really apprechiate your help and advice on this matter. I just want to be a mummy again and give our daughter a little brother or sister.
Thank you for your reply I am already taking vitex started it this cycle. I take my pre-natal and an extra Vitamin B6. I am also taking baby asprin. I just don’t understand how the GP hasn’t been able to diagnose me just cus we are a yound cople. I dont want to be in my 30’s to do something about it .

I’ve had a history of high white blood cells over the last 3 yrs. (im 21 years old) First, my doctor kept giving me medicines for infections, bacteria. My white blood cell level is still ranging between 11-14.7. I’ve recently been diagnosed with ovarian cysts as well.Lately i’ve been feeling terrible. I have fatigue (really bad!!) I’m always tiired, my body feels verrryyy weak. I get dizzy a lot too. I’m bumping into things and i feel like im going to pass out. I also have a high fever. I DO bruise easily. and the bruises take a while to go away. Basically im having symptoms of Leukemia, the only difference is i have not lost weight. i still weigh my chubby self. (I have gained about 60 lbs in the last 2 years.)
At first i thought these symptoms were because of the cysts, but now i am getting worried because i feel like im going to pass out any second and just die. Please help me because im getting very worried. Also my health insurance just expired and i’m broke. Any sugestions 4 dat?
I want to add that i am not a hypochondriac, thank you very much!! i wouldnt have posted this unless i was seriously worried. i dont want to scare my family, thats why i wanna know more details before i decide to go furthur into trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me!! -also my doctor had said that she was worried about bone marrow disease.. what would be the symptoms of that?

I have had ovarian cysts since I was 13. It caused me to gain weight and also I started my periods a little earlier than all the other girls.

I had 2 previous partners, one for 3 years and another for a year and didn’t get pregnant. I met my fiance in 2007 and we started TTC #1 and I fell pregnant in 4 months. After our daughter was about 1 month we decided to TTC#2 as I thought my cysts may make it harder for us to concieve.

Anyway, we have been TTC #2 for nearly 2.5 years and had no luck. We went to see GP at 18 months TTC but even though i mentioned my Ovarian cysts and my mothers fertility issues she just did a blood tests and said my hormones were ‘normal’. She told us to TTC longer and wait it out as we already have a daughter. She didn’t think my fiance’s sperm was an issue and decided not to test.

My periods are irregualr lengths and sometimes I have a short LP or a long LP of 18-20 days and sometimes it has been 14 days. I have been taking folic acid and pre-natal vitamin. I have bought some Vitamin B6 and started to drink Green Tea today to see if that helps. My fiance is also taking Zinc & Vitamin C for sperm quality. Is there anything I can do? I want my GP to check my ovaries to see if i may have poly ovaries without the hormone imbalance? But what is making my periods so irregular?

We are now moving GP’s and hope to get a second opinion. What do you ladies think? 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

I am looking for information about ovarian cysts…real-life stories of people who have had them and ones that burst. I think this has happened to me. How long will the pain last, and is there anything I can do?

I have a history of extremely irregular periods. I have been on the pill off and on since I was 13 to regulate it. When I’m not on the pill it has been moderately regular but now I haven’t had my period in a couple of months. I feel pretty much normal (although I’ve gained a little weight which could just be the freshman 5 or 15). I took an over the counter test a few weeks ago and it was negative, but I have ovarian cysts which can effect test results. I’ve had long periods of time where I haven’t had my period before…but never this long while I’ve been sexually active. I’ve been off the pill for about five months. What do you think?

I am 18, got my first period at 11 or 12 and they have always been very heavy and I got them every 2-3 weeks. I got my last period in December, right after my wedding. I am not pregnant, haven’t gained/lost any weight, do not exercise excessively, am not depressed, am not stressed, and do not have any ovarian cysts. Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?
That’s nice, but I have always had periods. This is new. And I do want to get pregnant eventually so it worries me that I no longer ovulate.
I went to the doc and all she did was check for cysts.

Didn’t you guys read my question? I have NONE of those problems. Can somebody please give me an answer and actually read the whole question?
I went to a doctor. No help. I am just wondering what other reasons there could be.
