I'm Vee! So let me tell you a bit of my story.
I was admitted last March 21st due to lower abdominal pain, which turned out to be an 8cmx9cm cyst on my ovary. I was told to have the operation as soon as possible, and scheduled myself on April 28th all because I had to finish the INSANITY program.
I really don't know if it's good or bad for me at that time and I didn't bother to ask my ob-gyne probably because I was dead serious about completing Shaun T's workout program before I enter the world of restricted mobility (post-op). BUT I had to pace myself while doing the workouts, and had to stop here and there, since I felt the cyst getting larger as the days went by and I don't want it to burst or something.
Personally, I think it did good for me since the pain didn't come back (not until the day of the surgery), and I was feeling good and well (despite the bloating caused by the cyst) while waiting for the surgery. I think being active helped me recover faster post-surgery as well.
You should really ask your doctor if it's okay for you to do so though, to be safe. But if it pains you to workout, then please don't. Listen to your body, it knows better. :D

Back when I had the cyst, I really didn't notice having to wee a lot as well. Probably because I drank a loooooooot of water, and attributed that (instead of the cyst) to the increase in urination. But the swelling though, it felt like I was full all the time, when I don't really eat much.
And you're always welcome! I know how much reading can help lessen the anxiety, it really helped me!
Do update from time to time, as I would love to hear from you!
Hope all goes well!
