I was woundering if someone can give me some advice please, im 18 and always had irregular periods over the past year they have always been around the 17th of every mounth tho about 7 mounths ago I found out I had a few small cysts on my ovaries. I haven't been useing any kind of protection for about a year as everything the doctors have put me on in the past have made me bleed severely. So anyway my question is on the 22nd of April I had some very light pink ish bleeding that only lasted a few days I had no pain, no pmt, no breast soreness nothing, (very unusal for me) now just ten days later again I have very light bleeding and its a pinky coulor, I have been very bloated and I have a very full feeling in my lower abdomen area, but I also have a kinda pulling cramping feeling, a pulling feeling going from my belly button when I wee, and sore nipples but one is alot sorer than the other.. Am I pregnant or is it to do with the cysts?. Me and my boyfriend do have sex maybe 3/4 times a week. If anyone has any answers I would be really greatfull. Also I started to get alot of lower back pains but that could be because I work very long hours compared to what in used to.

Hi Princess

It sounds like something to do with the cysts, and therefore I suggest a visit to your doctor. An ovarian cyst will usually only cause symptoms if it ruptures, is very large, or if it blocks the blood supply to the ovaries. Otherwise they may show no signs. You didn't say that you were on treatment - they often go away. But syptoms, when they do occur, include pelvic pain,a change to your periods (heavy, lighter or irregular), and indigestion or a feeling of fullness and bloating - which seem similar to what you describe.

But I wouldn't rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are having sex 3-4 times a week with no contraception, you are likely to get pregnant. You could have had implantation bleeding. Presumably you are anticipating that as you use no protection at all - not even condom or diaphram.

I think the back pain is partly due to your work schedule, and perhaps partly to to your cysts.

Whatever the reason, I suggest a visit to a doctor.

I hope this helps

They said the cysts should cause no pain cuz of how small they are so there is no need for treatment just yet. I woke up today with quite bad pain all in my lower abdomen like just above my bikini line if that makes sense. I cant get to the doctors till Thursday cuz of work.

That's what I assumed with the cysts. It may be that you do now need treatment. Your bikini line is about where your ovaries are. I don't think a couple of days to see the doctor will necessarily be too long, but I would book now (if that's possible where you live. Where do you live? You could take pain-killers meanwhile if necessary. If it gets too bad, get an emergency appointment or visit A&E.
I hope all goes well for you.

Sounds like you have a high temperature. In which case, get help right away (consistent with ruptured cysts). I'm from UK also, so call 111 and get advice. What area of UK? Is there a drop-in centre nearby? You might have to miss work tonight (if you've not already started evening shift!). Take care. Let me know how you get on.

It would depend on its size and what caused the cyst and what it could lead to. It might have just flared up, but the pain, temperature and tiredness are all symptoms that need urgent attention. It may not yet have ruptured, but is getting ready to.

Various complications are associated with it. Make sure your doctor is aware of the 'issues' you have had with contraception. As you are not using condoms, you are open to STIs (don't know you/your bf's sexual history), so I would get a thorough check up.

I hope there is nothing too serious.

Take care.

My period lasted for just two days, and it's been very light bleeding. Is that a problem?
