Ovarian cyst

I had a healthy pap test and physical in February and have been trying for baby #2. I noticed midcycle I had abdominal pain which was fairly intense but not as horrible as menstral cramps. For the next couple of days I had some light cramping on my right side, which I assume is the right ovary. I am a little worried I may have an ovarian cyst but wouldn't my doctor have detected that 3 months ago? I was hoping to be pregnant this time around but I won't know until next week. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thank you in advance for the advice. :)

Hi

I dont know much about cysts but from what Ive read on here I think its possible it may of come up after ur check? It may not be because of that it may just be nothing. I cant guess pregnancy yet but if u still have it u should see the dr, and if it persists on one side and gets worse go ASAP as it could be ectopic.

Hope I didnt worry u its prob just one of those things, but just be aware. Let us know how u get on, how long til u can take the HPT?


Good luck!!! Now could be it!

Hi, I had a pap and exam and they did'nt pick up my cysts until they performed an ultrasound.  I guess the big ones can be felt but not the smaller, or depend wether they are behind anything that would obstruct it.  Hope this helps a little and Good luck!! ~ Kerrie

Hey...I had a cyst the size of a volleyball and it was not detected on 3 US's or during manual examinations.  Most fluid filled cysts are hard to detect but the majority go away on their own.  Do not worry.  Most cysts do not effect you ability to have children. If you do not experience pain daily, I see no reason to worry.  If your pain worsens or you experience pain during sex, then speak with your doctor.  Good Luck with your pregnancy journey!
