So for the ladies who suffer from cysts, how painful can it be when they pop? So they found a cyst on my ovary and well I've been getting pains in the area where my ovaries are... Now the pain isn't excruciating but it's enough to make me wanna double over or stop me in my tracks. Like I don't know if I've just been straining my muscles when I've moved too quick or something. It's hard to explain really. But I'm waiting for another ultra sound scan so I don't know if I've developed more cysts or if I even have PCOS. My doctor said he wasn't concerned. Yes that's right he.. But since I found out about my cyst I've been worrying about my self and even feeling like there is something there, like ive always had a feeling something was there but since it was pointed out my mind thinks about it all the time which is annoying...

I only found out about mine when it popped and it was agonising. Like white hot pain. Collapsed immediately. But when they pop, if you do what I did and not go to hospital, they disappear depending on the type of cyst. I was just lucky I had left over painkillers from my episiotomy because otherwise I would’ve been in hospital.

Wow. I had no idea this could happen. I had one a year ago and my doctor told me that with a few months of not taking clomid/leterezole/progesterone or anything else that would ramp my hormones it would shrink and go away. Over about 4-5 months it did just that. Went back to doing fertility treatments and got another one. Now I'm pregnant and at each of the ultrasounds they have been measuring it but it seems to be pretty stable size despite my hormones rocketing up. I have had no pain with either one.

It hurts bad! I went to the ER thinking I had appendicitis or something

It hurts really bad when I’ve had some pop in the past I’ve passed out from the pain or just vomited because it was that intense
