Good day all!

Well, still no AF. I woke up yesterday and my breasts were HUGE and weighed 5 pounds each(they felt very hard as well...not too sensitive)! I'm popping out of my bras.(hubby loves that!LOL) Anyway, a little naseua (sp? sorry) and headaches on Sunday as well, but nothing major. I'll test tonight. Even DH knew that was a symptom. He was all ontop of me, saying little comments like "sit & rest, that's not good for the baby" lol it was cute.
On another note,
I went to the OBGYN last week and I found out I have a cyst on my ovary. I've never had that before. The pain was incredible. Of course they did a hpt at the dr on Thursday, but it was negative. My af was not due until Sunday. Has anyone had one before? I guess they are common? I have no information as to what kind of cyst or anything of that nature. If I am preg will that effect the baby????

Hi there...Not sure if this will help or not, but last month AF was about 2 weeks late, and I was sent in for an ultrasound to check for cysts, and so I had done a little bit of reading about 'functional cysts' and I think I read that sore and tender bbs along w/nausea, cramps and late/missed AF are symptoms of cysts too. I also read that they're very common and I don't think they usually affect fertility/pregnancy. I forget which website it was but I had just done a google search for "functional ovarian cysts" and it came back with a lot of great websites w/really good info on them.
Good luck!! I hope you do get your BFP very soon!!

Thank you Robin! After reading your post, I did a search and did find a site that does state naseua, cramps (duh! lol), sore breasts are all symptoms of a cyst. I am still not sure of what type, but I'm sure it's nothing major. It is pretty big however. Waiting on my gyn....thanks again!!!

You're very welcome! Glad I could be of help :) I was sooo surprised to read all about the symptoms of cysts... I mean no WONDER so many women probably think they're pg (myself included!), I mean really... nausea, cramps, sore bbs.... AND a missed AF! Well, of course I was pretty :( when I found out that I wasn't pg, turns out I didn't have a cyst either, just a dumb ol' pain-in-the-neck late cycle. Ah well...at least I got informed about cysts though, so if I do ever have one, I won't be so worried. I was also so relieved to find all the info that says that they're really not that problematic (phew!).

Well, I hope everything stays ok with you...keep us posted on how you're doing!

it won't effect your baby. i have polycystic ovarian syndrome and have over fifty cysts on each ovary. if i can get pregnant you will be fine. no worries everything will be ok.
