Ovarian Cysts and Hypothyroidism

I've been wondering about this since I read that there was a "connection" and I thought I'd ask you ladies.. our own little poll , although unscientific.for sure.... How many of us with Dx Ovarian Cysts also have been  dx Hypothyroidism? This may have been asked before, if so.. sorry for the repeat, but I missed it..

I have both. I was dx. with Hypo. 10-15 years ago.. Had Ovarian Cyst dx. last year..

Hi,
My vit D vit b 12 was running low with my thyroid issues my Blood work said, , making my body whacky pain, aches and  fibromyalgia symptoms but the vits helped me.  your breast pain? too much caffeine? chocolate? or hormonal? hows your mammos? fibrocystic breast? i had a ca125 blood test r/o ovarian cancer, 0-35 is normal mine was 5 and yr later 7 i have cysts on my ovary.
we need lotsa b vitamins.. i swollow L carnitin its an amino acid(b) used for increasing metabolism breaking down fats -cholestrol and in my case the fatty painful beads in my body. I still think you have a diverticulosis change your diet for a few days see if it quiets down , eat bland no greasy foods,no diet sugar /foods make me sick use stevia,agava,honey  for sweetner? i started with GRITS for bkf, oatmeal with straw jam lunch , supper mashed potatos used soya milk.rice milk try homemade soups no wheat in broth or MSG i find this broth and milk at a dollar store cheaper then grocery ..can't hurt i'm wheat intolerant, with allery testing.. keep us posted

Have had hypothyrodism for 8-10 years. Developed multiple (10) uterine fybroids and had a hysterectomy 5 yrs. ago. Now am having dull to sharp pains in my lower right side (no appendix)m back aches, achy thighs, and sharp breast pains. I'm falling apart.

I am not sure if there is going to be a link between cysts and thyroid in all cases. Maybe in some.  The ovaries release hormones.  So does the thyroid.  I think cysts can disrupt ovarian function enough to create an imbalance that could be systematic enough to make one think the thyroid is to blame. I would like to hope this is a temporary condition caused by the cyst that can resolve when the cyst is no longer present.
