Bleeding with Cyst

by Erika1312, Nov 16, 2008 01:26PM
Last Tuesday I was diagnosed with a small ovarian cyst on my right ovary.  After only going off the pill for about 2 weeks, the cyst already formed.  On Thursday I decided i would start taking the pill again to see if that would help take away the pain, and hopefully make the cyst disappear.  However, today (Sunday), I got what seems to be my period.  I am assuming due to me going off the pill my period came earlier than usual, and since I just restarted the pill only a few days ago, my period still came down.  However, could the bleeding be due to my ovarian cyst?  And if so, should I be worried?  It is nothing excessive, but still sorta weird considering my strange week.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks so much!

hi erika,

sorry you are in pain and have a cyst. Did they say what type of cyst it was and what size? I'm no expert, but starting the pill made me bleed too- I checked with my gyn and was told this was normal. Just my experience of course.
best wishes

It is just a functional cyst, or corpus luteum (sp?).  It is supposed to be like 2.5 cm, or something like that.  i figure the bleeding is more to do with my hormonal imbalance, due to going on and off the pill.  anyway, not totally sure, but thanks for your input, and hopefully this cyst will disappear soon.
