Hello, thank you for your posts they have really calmed me down but I want to tell you my case because it's not quite as everyone elses. I just turned 26 had abdominal pain so i went to the doctor thinking it was apendicitis and it turned out to be a septated cyst, approx. 12 cm ( approx 5 inches). He gave me treatment with birth control pills to see if it reduces its size other wise it has to be surgically removed, he thinks surgery is the way to go because of the size . Im scared because he said i should get my CA125 blood test just in case, which made me nervous because if most of the cysts are benign why would he doubt :(:( I have no kids and i have policystic ovaries, so im afraid about fertility too, only my ovaries are like that (messed up) i do not have any of the other hormonal symptoms like producing more insulin or being over weight. Well if any of you amazing girls have any words of advice, or tips I would greatly appreciate it. thank you
