Is passing tissue vaginally normal when an ovarian cyst ruptures?
During an ultrasound trying to identify the source of lower abdominal/pelvic pain I was experiencing last year I found out that I, in fact, had a small cyst on or in (they did not specify, and I did not know to ask) my left ovary. They said that I had inflammation causing the pain but that the cyst was nothing to be concerned with and that I would not need any further treatment unless it started to grow. I took the antibiotics and never gave it a second thought until 3 days ago when I was suddenly in the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life.
I was on my period (the first I have had since 5/16, I am irregular) and played it off for the first 24 hours chalking it up to extreme menstrual cramps. After a very long sleepless night and on the absolute demands of my husband and mother I went to the doctor the next day. He had me take a urine test for pregnancy and infection and describe the pain. He concluded (with no further testing) that my cyst must have ruptured. He gave me something for pain and told me "it is going to hurt like hell for 3 or 4 days" and that I should not go to work, rather stay at home and rest. I had been relatively better aside from periodic nausea until tonight when even under the effects of the pain medicine I had 3 very sharp shooting pains and the sensation that my period had just started again (even though it never stopped...if that makes any sense). When I went to the bathroom I had passed a quarter sized mass of tissue. For all the research my husband and I have done I can't find anything regarding the passing of tissue after the rupture of an ovarian cyst and honestly I am worried that maybe the test at the doctors office had given a false negative and that I might have just miscarried. I think the lack of answers is leading me to assume the worst, but maybe not...either way I need to know.
If anyone has any information that could help put my mind at ease I would be truly thankful.

I had a ruptured ovarian cysy and also passed a lot of tissue. My GP sent the tissue to the lab and she said it was as a result of the ruptured cyst. However I haven't been able to find anything about this online either.

I know this is a really old post now. I just Googled if a cyst can make you pass gray tissue. I found your comment and while I am still terrified I am a little more hopeful. I passed a pretty good sized clot that had some gray in it and then a small one like two hours later. I am scared, nervous and a crying mess right now. I am seriously hoping when we go to the doctor today they see a baby still. I'm not sure how common this type of thing is but I hope it's common enough that, that is what is happening with me as well. I did have two cysts that are pretty good size on my ovaries. I am praying and hoping that this is the case with me. Please know that you answer helped me feel a bit better in 2018. On the off chance you see this response, can you tell me if you bled even after you passed the gray clot thing(s)? Thank you!
It sounds to me like you had a kidney stone that passed...However; im not a doctor...but kidney stones run in my family
