    Hi looloo ~

    When I first was married,  I had similar symptoms as you are having.  I did go to the doctor and found out I had a tubal pregnancy.  On top of that, I had a cyst the size of an orange on the same side ovary.  I did have surgery for it and bc of the damage the cyst caused, they  had to remove the tube and ovary.  Fortunately, I was able to have two beautiful girls.

    Surgery was hard bc I'd never had anything medically b4.  Well, tonsils...but that is totally different.

    I sure hope you really think about it because if you do wait too long, you could be doing damage to  your fallopian tubes and ovaries.  Talk with your doctor about that and see if you are in any danger of doing permanent damage to yourself.

    Best of luck.

    Oh, and also, looloo, you cannot even tell once an ovary is removed. And as far as the operation, everyone deals with things differently so I'd prefer not to tell you anything bc like I said, it was really my only dealing I had with such a serious problem.  

    Thanks again wink
