I have not had a period for 3 years and apart from the odd hot flush thought I had transitioned easily into menopause. But 2 weeks ago I had a mucus show like I used to experience when ovulating and then the next day a tiny amount of spotting. My doctor sent me for an ultrasound which showed a complex cyst on my left ovary of about 1 cm in size with the radiologist report saying '?haemorraghic'. I am now seeing a gyn specialist in 3 weeks but my doctor says i I will have to have surgery, at least to biopsy etc. I have done lots of research since, and am wondering if an alternative option could be to wait for a few weeks and see if it resolves, especially giventhe other symptoms of ovulation at the time. I am really worried about losing an ovary or both ovaries,especially as for other medical reasons I am not a candidate for HRT. I have no other symptoms, apart from the lining of my uterus also being thicker than usual for a 'post menopausal woman'. I did recently lose 18kg in weight (intended) and also wondered if this could have kick started my ovaries back into action. Grateful for any advice anyone can provide about questions to ask the specialist, also would love to hear from anyone with similar experiences.
