Hard mass in my lower abdomen. What could it be?

I am a 29 yr old female. I have recently noticed a large hard bulge in my lower abdomen when I lay flat on my back. I can't see it or feel it when I'm standing though. I have had no other symptoms that I've noticed. I have an appointment with my obgyn this week. I'm not really sure if that's who I should see. I am very concerned. I don't know what it could be. Here is a picture from the side.

It must be a huge cyst to have caused such a bulge in your tummy.
Glad that at last you know what the problems is and that you will get the cyst and the ill ovary removed.

Hope all goes well for you and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Best wishes.

I went to the doctor today. It's a very large cyst. They will be removing it & my ovary in a week or so.

Oh dear, sorry that you have to wait another week for the appointment.
It is Saturday today, so hopefully you will not have to wait too long before you are seen.

It does sound very much like fibroids.  Hope you get on OK.
Let me know how you get on when you have had your appointment.

Best wishes.

We had a winter storm this week so they rescheduled my appointment for next week. I've also started bleeding in between my cycle. After a lot of research, I'm pretty sure it's fibroids. If it's as big as I think it is, I'm not sure what my treatment options will be or if they will just monitor it.

How did you get on at your appointment on Tuesday?
Did they tell you what it may be?

They usually remove them, or do a hysterectomy.

You will find out from the obgyn what it is for certain if this is to do with your womb and she will give tell you what it is and what they would do.  

When is your appointment?  You say it is this week and it is Friday today.

I'm not pregnant. What do they do for a fibroid if it's big?

Is there any possibility that you may be pregnant?

The other thing that it could be is fibroids in the womb.
The obgyn is likely to do some ultrasound scans and examine you and she will give you the correct diagnoses and offer you treatment if this is required.

Le me know how you get on.

Best wishes.
