US results

I received by us results.....a small cyst believed simple on my left ovary (the nurse didn't give me the size...just small) and 1.5 cm endometrium.  

I will be seeing a gyn one week from today.  

I also have become constipated the past 2 weeks so I am going to ask for a colonoscopy to see if this could be the cause of my pain.  

Thanks for the support before as I was extremely worried....now just a little tense.  I am finally feeling like eating again....at least until Tues.

Thanks again!

I think that constipation can be a result of the cyst too. Glad you are eating again...and are feeling a bit relieved!

Oh yes... constipation can be a symptom of the cyst. I personally have become a fan of the cherry-flavored Maalox/GasX combo. :)
Just make sure if you use a stool softener that it's a gentle one. The harsher ones tend to make everything a little too easy and you end up with the opposite problem.

Constipation can be a sign of not eating also.  If your not eating there is very little residue
