Q: 

Early pregnancy or ovarian cyst??

What does it mean if your ovaries hurt?

I stopped taking bcp three months ago and for the past 4-5 weeks have been having the following symptoms: breast enlargement/fullness, breast/nipple tenderness, increased discharge, flushed face, increased appetite, light occasional menstrual-like cramping (no bleeding), one-sided (right) occasional sharp twinges/pain & dull ache, bloating, slight weight gain.
I have taken two home-preg test, both with neg results. Approx six weeks ago, prior to all of these symptoms, I had one isolated instance of pinkish discharge (which may have been due to ovulation?). I am currently waiting it out for a few weeks until I go for a blood test at dr office. In the meantime, not knowing is driving me crazy!

I am in the same boat here, have past history of ovian cyst. My last one was actually in February! I stopped taking birth control in December, and we have been trying to conceive ever since. My period was due on 3/29/17. I have never been late since off the pill, I am having cramps/pains in lower right abodomen, and thick white discharge, with no smell. My breast were sore & heavier a few days ago, but that's always been a symptom of my period coming. I've taken two test and both came back negative! Not sure if this is from my cyst, or I am actually pregnant! Somebody help please.

Hello Anonymous,

Consider contacting your gynecologist, who knows your history. A blood hCG pregnancy test can be ordered.

Hello. So my boyfriend and I had sex last Feb 25, 2017. Feb 23 was the last day of my period. After a week of sex, I've been hungry all the time and a bit tired and it went away. 1 week again I've been experiencing cramps and now I have a sore boobs and nipple. Still feeling a little bit of cramps too. I took a test today and it was NEGATIVE. My Next period will be on March 21. My Mom also noticed that my tummy is getting bigger and my abdomen too. What this could possibly be?

Hi need help! I have ovarian cysts and my period was irregular. Last two months they were normal. I started using clear blue ovulation kit and got a smiley which meant peak fertility tu so my parter and I did the deed then and every other day. This month my period was late and instead I have light pink/brownish mucus discharge only when I wiped. No period yet! I have been cramping and feeling nauseous, eating a lot more a lot of pregnancy symptoms but no period. Could they be my cysts. I have one on each side. It's really frustrating as the pregnancy test I take are negative.

Hello Anonymous,

It sounds like you and your partner are trying to conceive. It also sounds like the spotting may be implantation bleeding.

Did you test in the morning? Has your period been late for at least one week before you tested?

Consider repeating the test. Purchase a name brand early response pregnancy test. Test in the morning. Use the urine when you first wake up and use the bathroom.

Then consider speaking with your gynecologist.

Keep us updated,
Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

I understand. But, don't you want to know why this is happening?

You can either take a home pregnancy test or schedule an appointment with your gynecologist.
