Ok so I went over to my aunts house on 4/5/10 to help her out with some things. While there I had to use the bathroom, after I did a #2 and went to sit back down I had an excruciating pain in my stomach! It was all across my pelvic area and it moved around to my backside. There the pain felt sharp and shooting. I went to the ER(after 3 hrs) that same nite and the doctor said that it was most likely an ovarian cyst that was causing my pain. Ok so my pelvic area feels ok now still a little achey though. Do ovarian cysts cause sharp jolting pain to my backside. Does this sound like an ovarian cyst? For any ladies that have had them what were ur symptoms?  On a scale of 1 to 10 what would u rate ur pain? The other day mine was about a 12!  I was bawling my eyes out! I do have PCOS (diagnosed last yr) BUT I have never had a cyst before. I am on birth control to help regulate my period (Camila progestin- only) so I can start TTC in the next couple of months. I looked up this pill and it said the pill can cause ovarian cysts. Should I ask to be switched? Thanks for answering!

Yes...Ovarian cysts are very very painful. I have had recurring cysts for over 30 years!  It is so unpredictable. You just never know what it will happen and then all of a sudden...you are doubled over and cant walk. I have to go right to bed and lie down until it subsides. I have had several surgeries over the years and begged the doctors to at least take out THAT ovary...they wouldnt...kept saying it was healthy! I had a hystectomy when I was 30 and had no ideas of ever having more children, so what was the big deal. My hormones would be fine as long as I had the other one! I also found out that I had IBS as well. Irritable bowel will give you the same sort of symtoms, so be cautious. You could have both. I have to be very careful of what I eat. Seeing as it happened right after a bowel movement..you may have both as well. High fat, dairy, chocolate ..are high triggers for me and I try to adjust my diet accordingly. Good luck..it is a long tough road that you are on!

Just want to add I've never been on the pill you were on but have taken yasmin at one time and noticed more pains like this on yasmin tho it was more of a uterine cramping.

Hi-

Well I can relate to something like that happening to me- was eating and had this terrible wrenching pain in my gut and thought it was food poisoning but it was very very low (ie, not the stomach region) and I did not go to the ER but got checked out  at a charity hospital (back before I had any health coverage) and they diagnosed as a "pelvic infection" but it wasn't till a few years later maybe four or five, I had a lap surgery done to diagnose endo and my ob-gyn said I had a decent sized but inoperable ovarian cyst. It does make me wonder if it was either that cyst acting up or even bursting that caused all of that. I did NOT have any bleeding though but I've never had pain like that ever again...I'd rate it a ten easy!
