Hi !

I'm new here! Just wanting to get some advice from others. About 2 months ago I started having major pressure in my pelvic region. I went in because I thought it maybe a UTI. It's so uncomfortable! Then I started my period. I went to an OBGYN who did an ultra sound and found a cyst 2.0 mm on one ovary. small ones on the other and 2 small fibroids. She wants me to wait until the end of April take the mini pill for my periods that are coming every 2 weeks. Sometimes the pain is very severe and so uncomfortable! Im ok when I'm not bleeding but when it starts its painful. Im really debating on the mini pill since I do smoke. Im trying to quit. I've also put on weight that I can't seem to lose even tho Im on a Keto diet. And the anxiety that pops up sometimes! Anyone else go through this

    The best way I can describe the symptoms it’s like puberty and pregnancy and think about all the symptoms that go with both of those....and yes the nausea comes out of nowhere it sucks I drink ginger ale when the nausea comes on this whole thing just sucks lol

    Sounds like the dreaded meno is rearing its ugly head with you. Have you ever been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries? It sounds very much like how your ovaries feel when you have this condition. Sounds like it may have come on recently. Basically what happens is due to hormone imbalance your eggs get released at ovulation time but instead of rolling down fallopian tube ready to be fertilised they attach themselves to outside of ovaries and become cysts. Usually harmless but when your ovaries are struggling to work they become painful then when your period starts the ovary pain ends and uterine cramps take their place. If this is you you need to see an endocrine specialist to confirm why these cysts are forming now. I hazzard a guess that the coil may have triggered it. But do ask to see a specialist about this as small though they can be a ruptured cyst is no laughing matter! XXX

      So glad that I was of some help to you. I was put on metformin for my polycystic ovaries as the condition depending on how bad you have it, can make you put on alot of weight. After I managed to have two sons, a miricle in itself, my cysts had all vanished but I'm due for allsorts of scans and tests over the next few weeks so I'll be interested to see if mine have returned. Heres hoping our endos do their job well and get us both sorted soon. Here for you anytime! XXX

      I know! I don’t feel like myself sometimes . I had to laugh you said alien because I tell my friend I just want to feel like a human. I’ll try the mag n calcium . I retain so much water. I went on a plant based diet and it all came off but it’s hard to stay on that. What a strange chapter of life right now. I feel better knowing I’m not alone! Hang in there!
