This is my first time posting anything, but i would love some feedback from real people. since around april of this year, I noticed that my weight has been slowly but surly climbing. i cant fit any of my clothes, and my bra sizes have also gone up. I haven't had any changes in lifestyle, no increase of stress or anything. just keep gaining weight. I've always had bad cramps during my cycle, but i didn't think twice that there could be another cause behind it. August of this year my cycle was two weeks late, very very unusual because I'm very regular. Then my next cycle should have come october 23, and didn't come until November 14th. The day of November 14, i was having very bad pelvic pain so i left work early and went to the ER. They did a pelvic ultrasound and found that there was a baseball sized cyst on my right ovary. the doctors in the ER told me to take ibuprofen and it should go away on its own, but i didn't think so. I have a follow up appointment today, i'm hoping they will just remove it. I also hope that removing it will help the weight come off, because i've just been swelling more and more. No matter what j do, I can't get the weight to come off. Anyone else dealt with this before?
