hi guys,im a filipina. im new and im so glad ive found this forum, the internet just made me scared while trying to do some research about it. while i was having an unexpected quick scan just a standard protocol on my gyne visit it was then discovered that i have this monster im carrying at my right ovary  is already 7cm and that was  december 2013! i broke down and is like what the heck?! she requested to have a trans v but i refuse and rush home coz it just made me so scared and thinking i dont have the symptoms of pain etc...

meanwhile, i told my family about what happened and said to go back to her and schedule for op and still i refuse.

Today is october 2014, and im having this mild to moderate but bearable on and off  pain on my right side area and my lower back hurts. i know when i ovulate after a week of my menses coz my lower abdomen will start to get painful also. 

as for today, i want to have the surgery done but im not emotionally prepared! im so scared i mean so scared of everything! im planning to get checked again this month. by the way i have 2 kids, 5 and running 2 this december. guys,any reassuring advice??!

    Virtually all women will have one or more cysts while menstrating. Most will be symptomless and found by accident. Less than 1% will be cancerous. I've just had two removed
