You ovulate around Day 15 of your cycle. (The day you start your period is Day 1).\n\nYour pain is probably caused by the surge of estrogen that happens about Day 15. It causes the ovary to release the egg.\n\nOvarian cysts are driven by estrogen. You can tame them by using a natural progesterone cream, the body's "anti-estrogen". It will balance out the estrogen, and should stop the cysts from swelling.\n\nAs a bonus - natural progesterone is used to make women more fertile! :)

You need to see your doctor.  There are many things that can cause you to be experiencing problems right now, including fibroids and cysts.\n\nHe/she will probably do some bloodwork and you will probably have an ultrasound done.\n\nGo today.

I would hate to say yes you should be worried but you definitely should be more concerned and vigilant. If I were you I'd definitely go back to my doctor as soon as possible. Ovarian cysts are very serious though sometimes doctors can downplay this fact. Did your doctor do a follow up after you went off your birth control? It's important to have the cysts monitored to see if they are enlarging or shrinking. They may need to be removed. I wish you luck!!!!

Ovulation always occurs during the middle of your cycle.  Key things you can look for is a clear, slippery, elastic discharge that signals you are ovulating.  If you have a basal thermometer you will also see a rise in your temperature.  A good way to track when you are ovulating and whether you are fertile or not is to chart your cervical mucus and temperature.  Another thing you can do is use an ovulation microscope which will show when you are ovulating.  The best thing to do is to use software in which you can not only chart down your temp and mucus, but also other data including when you have had sexual relations.  This software will calculate when your fertile and non-fertile days are, and is a good way to keep track of your periods.  I always reccomend femta which is at www.femta.com and ovusoft which is at www.ovusoft.com

You might have something called PCOS.  That's cysts in your ovaries.  Usually that causes your periods to not be normal, but the hair and infertility are symptoms.\nYou should see your gynocologist and suggest getting tested for this.  If you have PCOS, treatment might help you get pregnant.

Possibly you had a cyst that broke, but I would have thought the dr would have noticed.  I would suggest you see a gynecologist if he isn't already one.  It's also possible that you have developed a yeast infection now.....

It could be your ovary, food moving through your intestines, or something else.  \n\nSometimes ovaries get cysts on them.  The cysts are benign (not cancer) but can hurt.  They come and go and come and go and most of the time nothing bad happens, but very rarely one can twist or rupture.  \n\nBest to see a doctor, especially if it hurts sometimes.  More than likely, it's nothing, but it's best to see a professional.

check with your Dr.  I have had a problem similiar  to this and it was ovarian cysts.... when you ovulate a cyst is formed around the egg and then it bursts sending the egg towards the fallopian tube for fertilization.  In some people the cyst can be larger and take longer to burst causing some discomfort  to extreme pain.  If it gets to the extreme pain point (like mine did) you may be looking at having surgery to remove the cyst or to be put on birth control pills to control the cysts... going to the Dr. will be the best thing to do as it could be something completely different, they went to school for at least 8-12yrs, they should know better than us right?? :)

It could be a couple different things.  It's possible that you may have endometriosis or you may have cysts on your ovaries or uterus.  I have both and it sounds like some similar symptoms when I'm not on b.c.\nEither way, a vist to the gyno is needed.  I would go to a gyno, not your family doctor, a specialist will be more likely to give you an accurate diagnosis.

If your cervical fluid isn't fertile then you are most likely not beginning to ovulate.  the best way to tell if you have ovulated is the take your temperature using a basal body themometer.  You can also use ovulation predictor kits that can be purchased at a drug store.  they are usually beside the pregnancy tests.  the opks will allow you to know when you will ovulate.

To whom it may concern,\n\nIt could be oarian cyst or it could be that you are pregnant? If I were you, I would go to my doctor and have a pregnancy test done and ask for other tests to come along with it. So that way you can be safe knowing the answers instead of having to do it later in life.

Well menses is your period (stands for menstrual cycle) so the starting date would be when it is are you sure you have to enter a number above 10 maybe just needs two digits like 06.\n\nOvulation normally occurs every month, when one of the eggs is released from\nthe ovaries and travels down through the fallopian tubes. Women usually experience certain physical signs when they are ovulating.\nInstructions\n\n    * STEP 1: Take your temperature every morning when you wake up, before getting out of bed or using the bathroom. Your temperature will drop slightly right before you ovulate, and then will rise. It will continue to rise on the following two days, and will register about 0.4 to 0.6 degrees higher than your normal temperature.\n    * STEP 2: Observe any abdominal discomfort. Some women experience a sharp pain in their lower abdomen when they begin to ovulate. You may also get a pain on either side of your lower back. The pain should only last a brief time.\n    * STEP 3: Be aware of discharge. Cervical mucus becomes thinner and more watery as ovulation approaches. At ovulation, it resembles raw egg whites in consistency.\n    * STEP 4: Notice any changes in cervix color, which also indicate ovulation. The normal color is pink; when you ovulate, the color becomes pale or bluish.\n\nTips & Warnings\n\n    * Ovulation usually occurs midcycle. If your cycle is 28 days and you are regular, then you would ovulate on day 14.\n    * If you are trying to avoid pregnancy or to get pregnant, ovulation kits are sold that help you determine exactly when you ovulate.

I had those symptoms and had a small ovarian cyst.  The doctor wasn't worried about me, either.  Many women get small cysts that come and go with menstruation at times.  They told me it shouldn't cause symptoms, but I sure felt different symptoms for about two months!  My breasts were extremely sore those two months, too!  Then, it just went away.

Most women have probably had an ovarian cyst at one time or another, but they don't know it. Many cysts develop and disappear on their own over the course of a couple of months. There are different kinds of cysts, and the kind you had will make a difference. I had a cyst that was the size of a golf ball and didn't know it until I had a CT scan for a kidney stone. A month after the scan (after dealing with the kidney stone), I saw my gynecologist and she sent me in for an ultrasound. The cyst was completely gone. She told me that standard practice used to be to do a biopsy when the cyst was as large as mine, but now they just monitor them, and deal with them if they cause pain, bleeding, or other symptoms. \n\nIt's good that you're going to see your doctor. You should also check out this website for more details.

This could be any number of things. It would be wise for you to see your doctor. Off hand, three things come to mind. You may have endometriosis. You could have an ovarian cyst or if you're pregnant (even in the very early stages) you could be experiencing signs of a possible miscarriage. \n\nQuestions you might want to ask yourself:\n\nAre you or could you be pregnant?\nWhen was your last pap smear?\nWhen was your last period?\nWas it a normal period?\nHow often do you have this pain?\nIs there anything that makes it better or worse?\nRegarding "female" cancers, what's your family history?\n\n\nDon't mess around with your health. See your doctor.

Ovarian cysts may be associated with pelvic pain (lower abdomen, either side or centrally), however you may have no pain at all  Diagnosis is made through a pelvic exam (ob/gyn doctor or PA) and further study may include an ultrasound or scan. These masses may be malignant, but more often they are benign.To obtain an accurate diagnosis it must be taken out in a surgical procedure.
