My period was late by about 1-2 weeks last month, which was really odd, considering i have very regular periods. I dont take any medication, i dont do drugs or smoke, i havent been under any stress, and i havent los or gained any weight. I had my doctor run both urine/blood prengnacy test to rule that out as well.

My period finally came and it was heavier and more painful than normal….

This morning (about 1 week before my next period), i had some deep sharp pain on my right side, where my ovaries are. It hurts when i move or stretch only. I also have some spotting when i wipe….

Could it be possible that i have a cyst? Considering pregnancy has been ruled out, and i havent been sexually active since the last pregnancy test. Would i cyst cause my period to have been late? And would it cause pain and spotting now? Did it rupture?

I have 2 ovarian cyst one on each side i have gain a lil weight, i have lower back pain and some abdominal pain. what are my chances of getting pregnant? I have also took 4 pregnancy test and they were all negative but it does say in the instructions that they can cause "unexpected results"

Your Question
Can someone inform me about ovarian cysts?
Hi, I’m hoping that someone who has had ovarian cysts, PCOS, or something related can provide me with some advice…

I didn’t get my period from June 14 through October 18. I went to my student health center (at my college) and had some tests done, ruled out pregnancy and thyroid abnormalities, but showed that I had low FSH levels. The nurse practitioner suggested I get tested for PCOS but since the most likely reason for my missed periods was my recent weight loss, I figured it would just be better to see if my period becomes regular after I worked to gain some weight and then decided whether to get the test done.

Well, I got my period in October, but then it hasn’t come in November. Instead, I’m getting these random, but very mild throbbing pains in my pelvis and thighs as well as persistent mild aches in my hands. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative so I’m going to get this checked out, but somehow the nurse’s conclusion (that I may have PCOS) doesn’t seem likely to me since I don’t fit any of the symptoms: Not obese (in fact I’m a little underweight), no abnormal hair growth or loss, nothing of that sort.

So I was just wondering if it is normal for women to have these kinds of problems. Are ovarian cysts common? What do they feel like?

I would really appreciate any advice you can give me.

I had a miscarriage about three or four months ago i dont remember exactly because its not something i’d really like to remember. They said they think it was a chemical pregnancy bla bla bla, i’ve had three normal periods since then july august and september 28th was the last i have 35 day cycles and this month i’m now two weeks late neg preg tests, i have fatigue, i’ve gained some weight recently just like 3 pounds, i get nausea after eating or at random, i’ve had some aches in my upper legs, and lower back pain. Things that could go for both, i almost feel like pregnancy is almost ruled out at this point i have an appointment tomorrow for a pregnancy test i think their just doing a urine one because its a free clinic but anyone whose had ovarian cysts can you give me more detail, i’ve had stomach cramps but not like severe sleep loosing pain over them

Here’s the rundown to the point. My last period was Mar 10, 09. lasted the norm 4 to 5 days. It was due April 15, 09 and never showed. I took a pregnancy test a week after period was due, it was negative. Ive been having mild to sharp pains in my abdomen since 5 days before my expected period. It has been constant also accomodated with lower back pain, frequent urination, and pains in my breast. Ive been checked for endometriosis and ive had my thyroid checked, both test were fine. I have not gained weight nor been stressed. I usually have my cycle every 36 days. Ok I started bleeding 2 days ago which is 15 days past my expected period and it has stopped today. It was not a normal period. I only used a total of 4 pads within the two days. Im still having the abdominal pain and sharp breast pain. I also went to ER last night because of the bleeding and pain. They did a hpt and it was negative. The also did a pelvic exam which they say is normal for someone who was bleeding. Gave me some naproxin and sent me home and gave me numbers for gyno doctors. Its sat so unfortunatly there all closed. I guess its so frustrating because I have been regular for the past 2 yrs straight. Usually my bf and I use condoms or the pull out method but the one month we decide to use no form of birth control this happens. After my last period 3/10 we started having sex with him ejaculating inside me sometimes more than twice a week. And now this! Whats happening to my body?

I’m 17 and sexually active.
I’ve been on birth control since I was 13, because otherwise I would have two periods a month. I started out on the patch, then learned how dangerous it could be, and switched to ortho tricyclen. Only a few months ago did I switch to Yaz. About five months ago I developed a pain in my lower abdomen which turned out to be an ovarian cyst the size of a softball (not exaggerating). Instead of doing anything drastic they put me on Yaz, hoping that since it’s stronger it would get rid of the cyst. Amazingly, it worked, and I’ve been on Yaz ever since.

The problem is, the past two months or so, I’ve been getting really weird symptoms.
I’ve been getting insane cravings. Tonight, for instance, I really really wanted a turtle cheesecake from the restaurant we were at. I’ve only eaten cheesecake once in my life, and I’ve never been overly fond of it. I’ve also been emotional on and off. I felt very sad when my little sister popped the legs and head off of her balloon ladybug. It’s ridiculous.
The thing is, I’m NOT pregnant. It’s been going on for more than a month, in which I’ve had a period, AND taken a pregnancy test, which was negative.

I’m thinking the bc might really be making my body think I’m pregnant. But if I switch back to a weaker one, I might get cysts again! What do I do?
