Im sitting here with a friend who has ovarian cysts and she has noticed that she has been bleeding for a few hours now and says that she is cramping as if she has her period she just had her period two weeks ago and is worried that one of her cysts may have ruptured, popped…etc.

any ideas on what we should do or if this could just be a false alarm?

Can ovarian cysts make a woman have a false negative pregnancy test? I was told that it should not bother it, but I have all of the symptoms of pregnancy and the home pregnancy tests keep saying that I am not pregnant. How is that possible that I am having pregnancy symptoms.

I just had an emergency D&C for hemorahing. I was told I had ovarian cysts as well as the usual thick uterine lining. They removed the cysts from my uterus, but how will the ones from my ovaries disolve. Also they put me on Micronor. I’m not thrilled at age 42 to be on birth control. Any risks?
Also, since my D&C was 3 days ago, is it normal to have worse cramps today and heavier spotting with some clots?

I am just over 12 weeks pregnant and I have to have surgery sometime in the next 4 weeks to have ovarian cysts removed. The largest cyst is just over 15cm, 10 cm, 8cm, and many smaller ones all of which are growing. What can I expect after surgery? How long does it take to heal? How soon before I can return to school afterwards? I’m assuming the pain that I am in now will be gone once the cysts are removed

Steph asked:


I have ovarian cysts and the last period I’ve gotten was either in October. I haven’t had any spotting or anything. To the answer of maybe I’m pregnant, I do not think I am because I’ve taken 2 tests w/ 2 negative results. People with any personal experiences or any nurses I would greatly appreciate your answers!

curiousd54 asked:


The birth control is to sustain the cysts, but I was wondering how safe it actually is to use the birth control to sustain the cysts and still be able to work effectively. My girlfriend occasionally gets extremely bad pains from her ovarian cysts, and she just recently got some of the worst pains about 4 or 5 days after the most recent time we’ve had sex and she believes that her stomach is a bit swollen along with the pains. Can the cysts cause swelling and are the chances of getting pregnant very high considering the situation? Thanks.
Also, will the cysts ever cause any kind of stomach swelling, or at least swelling in the area of the stomach? Mainly belly button and below.
She actually just went to get an ultrasound today and the ultrasound was full of orange dots all around the ovaries. The doctor said that this was bloodflow. What kind of bloodflow is that? Is that normal, or did the cysts maybe break or something like that?

Juelz asked:


if someone could give me all the details behind ovarian cysts that would be great.

what are all the signs and things to look for?

can it be hereditary?
can it give you false positive pregnancy test and/or messed up and erratic menstral bleeding?

foxhunter asked:


I’ve been doing some reading on ovarian cysts, and the answer that keeps coming up for complex cysts is surgical removal, most often by laparoscopy. This is done due to concerns about ovarian cancer. But aren’t there other options available? And how do they know that a cyst should be removed, particularly if it is multi-compartmental?
