Anybody ever have cysts?

Hello,

I have no idea what is going on with me...in late August I had very strong pregnancy symptoms (bloating, nausea, tiredness, sore breasts). I went to the hospital after two negative HPT tests and the doctor suggested that I may have uterine cysts (I have had very irregular periods a few years before starting the pill and since getting off of it last January - I only had one period in May)...so I had an ultrasound done around 10 days after the symptoms started and no cysts were found. Literally the next day the symptoms almost completely disappeared. Now in early Oct. the symptoms came back very strong (still no period) except this time they are not going away. And my lower abdomen is extended and kinda hard. Two negative HPTs. I went to the doctor and I had some blood tests done, incl. a pregnancy test (won't get results for more than a week)... Can this be from cysts? Is it possible that in Aug the cyst-condition was as yet undetectable? Please share your experiences with me...

Thanks!

Trisha,

I had a 14cm X 12cm (yeah...i know...huge!) ovarian cyst for months and had NO symptoms, NO pain, and was regular as I had always been. It was removed earlier this year (coloscopy) and I feel just as I did before I had it (doctors found it by chance during routine exam).

If you had an ultrasound done and no cyst was found, it is likely you don't have one. The symptoms you are feeling are probably something else (pregnancy?) so I would just wait for the results.

My cycle was always regular and I would never of known I had a cyst (no symptoms whatsover!), so if I were you, I would not worry about that being the issue here.

Good luck!
