I’m on birthcontrol and sometimes forget to take them at the same time everyday or i have missed one or two every so often. Me and my boyfriend have sex on the regular w/o condoms. We both went to get checked together so we know were both clean, anyways the last time we had sex i had this very sharp pain but only in the right side of my uterus. I was kinda freaking out because I have never felt that before. So now im starting to worry if i could possibly be pregnant or even have an ectopic pregnancy. Not only just that but im worry if i may have an ovarian cyst or something of that sort. within the last month i have been quite tired a lot. I’ve gained weight, eat more, my boobs hurt constantly, lower back pain, frequent urination, and some dizzy spells. I’m not quite sure what this is and i know your probably thinking go take a pregnancy test, but i really wana know if anyone els has experienced something like this or can relate. thanks for taking the time to read this.

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’m 28 years old I do not take birth control. I’ve had in the past 2 d&c, uterus ablation, and my tubes tied. I just had an ultrasound to see if the cyst on my left ovary has gotten any bigger. My question is I have pain on my left side in the pelvic area. Also pain in my lower back. And it also hurts during sex. It even hurt during the ultrasound. So I’m just wondering what are the symptoms to an ovarian cyst. Now I’m just waiting on the results to the ultrasound. I do not have a period anymore the only time I had blood was when I wiped myself a week ago. But I’ve been in a lot of pain for 2 weeks

I’ve had problems with ovarian cysts since I was 12 and right now I’m having a sort of an attack of pain in my stomach.
I now have all the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer, including the shortness of breath. I’m always tired, My periods last soo long and are sooo heavy and painful, I’m sick to my stomach, I’m very weak, My stomach back and legs are all tender, my stomach is tender to touch, Ive gained a large amount of weight, I have a weird feeling of fullness in my uterus/bladder and I’m not pregnant, and I’ve been peeing like crazy
Is this a possibility?
Also, my mother had to have a hysterectomy because she had cancerous tumors on her uterus, so Idk if that has anything to do with it.
as of right now, I’m in incrediable discomfort and want to go to the ER or doctors now but noones home and I don’t feel safe driving.
please help,
is ovarian cancer a possibility ?

Im gonna try to make this short, simple and to the point… bare with me please
Im pregnant, I went to the ER last night because I was having really sharp pain in my right side. I haven’t gotten an ultrasound yet. They did a pelvic exam and blood work. They came to the conclusion that I probably have an ovarian cyst. Could the cramping from the uterus expanding and growing, and the ligament pain, feel more intense since I also could possibly have an ovarian cyst?
Im sure someone else out there has been through something similar, please share your story or thoughts.

Our daughter, almost 24, has had some bleeding on and off for over a month. She takes Seasonique (3 month birth control) to control the symptoms of her endometriosis (diagnosed by laproscopy 4 years ago). She has taken it for almost 3 years and has been very pleased with the reduction in the amount of pain from the endometriosis.
Suddenly in January, pain on her left side increased greatly and the on and off bleeding began. She had an appointment with her OB/GYN who said it may have been due to the endometriosis. She managed to deal with the pain up until last week when, during the night, she has some take-your-breath-away pain on her left side which went on for a couple hours. 2 days later, she felt a "pop" on her left side and had a gush of heavy bleeding for 2 hours. The pain increased throughout the day until she eventually went to the emergency room as it was after hours at her OB/GYN and they couldn’t do anything to immediately see her. They weren’t able to do to an ultrasound at the ER (small town hospital) but scheduled one for 2 days later. The dr. who did an internal exam said the left side felt "full".
On Tuesday she had the ultrasound and everything in her ovaries and uterus looked normal. She saw her OB/GYN again today and she says it could have been a cyst that ruptured, or it could be a flare-up of endometriosis. The pain is sometimes sharp, and the rest of the time she says it feels like there is a curling iron burning inside, on the left side. Her dr. would like to give her a Lupron shot, if it is endometriosis, to throw her into menopause. This seems like an unwise thing to do if it was a ruptured cyst since Lupron won’t help with that and it’s not even clear if it really helps reduced endometriosis pain.
If you have had an ovarian cyst rupture, what were the symptoms before, during and after? How bad was the pain and how long did the pain last afterwards? If you have endometriosis, have you tried Lupron? Did it help?

For the last 7 years I have had problems with Ovarian Cysts on my right ovary. I have multiple other symptoms as well such as dandruff, hair loss, weight gain in the abdomen, depression, insomnia, hot flashes, spotting after orgasm/intercourse/exercise, extreme thirst and urination, and dark patches on my knees, ankles, and wrists.
I had my hormones tested and a blood sugar test and everything came back fine. So, they sent me away.
Now the last few days I have had extreme pelvic pain, a very sore right ovary, a twisting shooting pain down my right leg, mixed bright red/dark brown spotting, and this intense pressure pressing down on my uterus or cervix.
I know it is another Ovarian Cyst because it felt just like this the previous times that I have had them. I’m just worried about the amount of pain that I am having.
Could these cysts be dangerous if they twist or rupture? Is there something I should be looking out for? And last but definitely not least, does anyone know of a way that I can relieve some of this pain?
Thanks!

I found out I have an ovarian cyst about 6 weeks ago. I had another ultrasound last week to see if it went away on its own and it hadn’t. Well I am supposed to go to the doctor tomorrow to find out what I can do to fix it.I’ve been having horrible pain at night, is there anyway to make the pain go away without medicine? (they gave me pain pills but I don’t like taking stuff like that) Also this all started when I went to the ER (severe pains and extremely excessive bleeding) while I was there the dr said something about being anemic but not bad enough to need a transfusion. Since it’s been about 7 more weeks with heavy bleeding do you think a transfusion could be needed? .. I wonder how I can bleed so much.. like how does my uterus produce that much blood so fast (like enough for a normal period within a day) Do you think I have something else wrong besides the cyst? Final issue- I am only 19 and I am hoping to be able to have children.. do you think I will have problems? I know I should ask a doctor but I want to know from people who have been through it and see what happened to them. Thanks in advance.
Please read the question before you answer it… I know I should ask my docotr BUT I want to know people’s expierences ..

I know a person who has Dermoid Cyst but she doesn’t know what to do. What would be the better move to get the cyst out of her uterus? If she undergoes surgery, what are the chances of it having a positive outcome?
