ireneo is so right, I think you should have the transvaginal ultrasound. The doctors can evaluate your problems more efficient that way. I have had the transvaginal utlrasound and it is not painful, the results are quick. My ob/gyn thinks the transvaginal test is one of the best ways to detect early cancer also. Good luck to you.

I think they'll be able to explain what's going on and what can be done next after the ultrasound. Is it going to be a transvaginal? I'm surprised they didn't follow up after they saw the 4 x 2cm cyst 3 years ago. A typical cyst when ovulating is only a couple cm large. When the cyst is pushing 5 cm they typically monitor it more closely.

I know it's hard to wait but the test tomorrow will be the best thing you can have done. Then your doctor will know what's going on and can tell you the facts. Remember, if you feel your doctor is not being a help, you can always go for a second opinion. Let's hope you won't have to do that.
