Hemorrhagic cysts

[Evyhaz4]

I am a 30 yr old mother of four. Since my last pregnancy 8 years ago I have had countless hormonal issues. I was on progestrone pills for 5 years. Then moved and the new doctor took me off the pills but my irregular periods returned. My testoterone and androgen hormones are all over the place with increased body hair. In 2007 I developed a panic disorder which I feel is linked to my abnormal hormone issues.
In Janurary of this year they decided to try an IUD to see if that would help with the hormones. I can not take birth control due to a blod clot in my left leg after my last pregnancy,
About 4 weeks ago I went to the Dr.'s and found out that I had a 4 cm hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary. Two days later I went to the E.r. again in a great amount of pain in my back and found that the 4 cm cyst was now 5 cm's and I had developed and 3 cm normal cyst on my right ovary. They want to monitor the cyst's and see what happens. A couple days later I started my second period since the initial 2 months of bleeding after the insertion of the IUD. The first period lasted about 4 days in length, mild cramping and then it was gone. I started my period again a couple days after my last exam and have not stopped. It is going on 3 weeks now. I still have quiet a bit of back and lower abdomen pain. No fever, some nausea but no vommiting yet. This is now interrupting my whole daily schedule. I am exhausted, in pain and unsure what to do. I do not bleed at night but as soon as I get up I bleed alot through out the day. I would like someone else's insight on this and maybe a possible solution or something i can bring forth to my doctor to help in riding these issues. Thank you

Thank you so much for your response.. It feels good to know people care :)
Yes I have talked to the Dr. about removing the cyst and she insisted that we just keep an eye on it and that more then likely it will go away on it's own. I have to go in next week to get another ultrasound done and am a little scared as to what they might find seeing how I am still in so much pain and it has been about 4 weeks since they first found the cysts.
I called my OB yesterday and spoke with her nurse who said it definetly needed to be checked out but they would wait until I get the ultrasound do make any decisions.

When i went to the E.R. for the pain and found out I had the cyst the first time the doctor seemed concerned and told me to see my doctor as soon as possible. Then two days later during the weekend the pain got worse so I returned to the E.R. and was told that they do not just go in and remove cysts any more exspecially on someone who has already had four C-Sections so I am a little stumped. I am told different things by different doctors and it is confusing. I would just like it resolved but I am sure anyone who has went thru this can understand.

I want to start off by saying welcome to the forum.  I think you will find may helpful women here.  I am so sorry that you are going through so much.  I would be on the phone to your gynecologist and tell her that you have been bleeding for 3 weeks and you are very concerned about it.  Have you though about asking the doctor to remove the cyst since it is growing so fast and all of the pain you are in? Usually doctors start recommending surgery when a cyst reaches 5cm.  Here is like that I have posted for a few other women.  It may be of some help to you.  I hope you get some answers and pain relief soon.  Keep us posted on how you are doing.
