I have been scared thinking I was pregnant, but I’m told it’s a cyst. But I have pregnancy symptoms!

So I had an irregular period for December and then it followed with horrible abdominal pains and nausea and bloating. I took several pregnancy tests and they all said negative. However I started to experience more mild symptoms of pregnancy like breast tenderness and then I started spitting a lot because I have so much saliva in my mouth. I keep thinking for sure I have to be pregnant. So I’m driving myself crazy here because I’m not trying to conceive but I have all the symptoms. The pain in my abdomen started to get worse yesterday so I went to the ER and explained my symptoms. They tested for pregnancy by urine, negative. Then did a transvaginal ultrasound and said I had a 4cm cyst on my left ovary. I just don’t understand why I’m getting all these pregnancy symptoms tho. I have an appointment scheduled with my gyn in two weeks. Has anyone else had this happen or heard of anything similar to this ?

    Me (sign) constant urge to pee lime it was every 5 min i was at a buffet and i got up to use the bathroom 5 times my mom was like if the food is disgusting you dont have to eat. But i was p*****g a LOT. Felt a deep heavy feeling on my left side. I would press on my pubic bone and be in distress. I couldnt handle it so i went to the er 4 cm cyst found. Discharged with ibuprofen. Waited a month to check it out wasnt gone but shrunk. Went in late October to check it out that little cyst was still chilling on my ovary along with other smaller follicles its double the size of my left ovary but the cyst shrunk down to 2.3 cm so thats why they left that mother.. Because apparently it shouldnt cause me as much pain as i am in. I looked up what are follicles. Because the lady had told me it was a big cyst and a lot of little eggs on my ovary and it says pocs but my obgyn has never said anything about pocs. But ovarian cyst will cause pregnancy symptoms i thought i was pregnant too but nope. But I also irregular period (21 day light period). Have you had a period? If not i recommend waiting another week to take a test. Idk how good are us on detecting early pregnancy sibce i got my first us when i was 12 weeks preggers. But i could hear her heartbeat at 10 weeks.

      Well to be honest my last time having unprotected sex was early November and I ended up getting a normal period about 11 days later. But this December was odd.. only lasted two days. I would think by now a pregnancy test would let me know .. I’m driving myself crazy reading all these stories about how women had false negatives from pregnancy tests. My period is always normal so this two day period has me nervous

      Yeah i would take another one to be safe cuz 2 day period sounds like implantation which lots of girls confuse as a period. I didnt have a period at all thats how i figured out i was pregnant as well as my friend but i knew one girl that she would get a 2 day period and didnt know she was pregnant until she was 6 months. But be sure to take another test if it comes out negative i would wait to see how your next period comes if its late or a short period again i would go for an us. Or a blood test to see if it picks up anything.

      No, I'm not on birth control or anything..I have heard of implantation bleeding but I thought that occurred after conception. I had sex November 12th so I think the implantation bleeding would have occurred in November sometime and not towards the end of December. It so confusing.

      Thanks for responding. I have been so nervous wondering why I was experiencing pregnancy like symptoms but negative pregnancy tests. I didn’t know ovarian cysts would make you feel this way.
