My symptoms were:

- occasional pain/pulling sensations in abdomen.  
- pain in the back at night that shoots down the legs (impossible to sleep until pain killers dulled the pain.
- constipation (frequent) alternating with loose bowel movements (less frequent)
- lack of energy
- hair loss
- unable to eat large meals...would double over in lower stomach pain until food digested
- weight gan and extra inches around the waist, not caused by food
- my cyst was fluid filled.  If I held my stomach in the area where the cyst was located while walking, I felt a "water balloon" sensation with the liquid sloshing in the cyst.

My symptoms are...
frequent urine, frequent thirst, feeling tired / weak (Which all 3 are symptoms too I found on another website.)  Feeling full, weight loss, emotional, abnormal bleeding, pressure, and fever.

Hi.
The symptoms are...
Many ovarian cysts don't cause symptoms. Others can cause:

    * pressure, swelling, or pain in the abdomen
    * pelvic pain
    * dull ache in the lower back and thighs
    * problems passing urine completely
    * pain during sex
    * weight loss
    * pain during your period. Irregular cycle.
    * abnormal bleeding
    * nausea or vomiting
    * breast tenderness

If you have these symptoms, get help right away:

    * pain with fever and vomiting
    * sudden, severe abdominal pain
    * faintness, dizziness, or weakness
    * rapid breathing
I got that online. I hope everything is ok for you.
Another symptom my doctor told me is emotional / homones out of wrack. As well as feeling full.
