Anytime. Cysts never hurt all the time unless there's an underlying emergency such as twisting. Many never hurt at all.
thanks! That makes sense. I will keep you guys updated.
Any reason to think that I should make the appointment when I have the symptoms or should anytime be ok?
Hi..it could be several things going on...one would be if you do have a cyst it may not have gone away from months before..(sometimes they can hang around a while) or..since its happening every few months it could be your left ovary is ovulating. (one month our right ovary ovulates, then the next month your left ovary ovulates)..i would see your gyno..take care and let us know what he/she tells you!
Thanks for the reply - thats along the same lines as I was thinking so I will go straight to the OBGYN. We are thinking about trying for a 2nd child sometime next year so I will get this looked that soon and make sure there isnt anything that could be a problem if I were to get pregnant (or if there is something that requires treatment, get that taken care of before ttc).
Only thing that baffles me is that symptoms stopped for several months and then started up again. Is that a common occurrence with a cyst?
Thanks again for your help.
I would say start with a gynecologist since regular doctors tend to run a whole bunch of unnecessary tests...then send you to a gynecologist! The gyn tests are much easier to tolerate (pelvic exam and ultrasound if something like a cyst is felt). If nothing else, it may shed some light on why you get those symptoms. Nobody knows if a cyst is to blame until a cyst is actually found. But it sure sounds like a cyst.
