It’s probably just an ingrown hair. Trust me, I get these lumps too—sometimes they’re the size of a freaking slider and they hurt like hell. It isn't going anywhere until it finally works its way out. Honestly, I’ve got actual scars from some of them because it turns out it wasn't even an ingrown hair, just a massive freaking hair stuck under the skin. 😲

Don't sweat it, it's just one of those "joys" of being a woman. 🙄

I really hope not, because I want a BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Great news!!!!😍
It finally burst (just realized today it was over 7 cm!!!!!)!!!!! Thank God, it's gone, and honestly, I didn't even feel it pop 👍. Now I just have to take Sumamed for three days because one of my ovaries is still swollen, and that’s it!
Thanks to everyone for listening—hopefully, this is the last time I'll need to post updates here!
Cheers, everyone! 😁

Thanks for the kind words... Fingers crossed everything turns out okay!
Hi, I'll catch up with you tomorrow! 😍

Listen, guys, everything just hurts more and more every day...👎, Yesterday I actually got worn out just walking up some stairs because the pain was so bad...
I seriously can't wait until Tuesday...

Hi girls, it’s so good to hear about everyone's happy endings! 😛
I'll let you know how my appointment goes!

Best!!!!😍

I've got an appointment scheduled for March 9th. My pain isn't exactly unbearable—though honestly, after getting cauterized, nothing feels unbearable anymore—but I just have this gut feeling that they haven't burst. I did my markers and everything looked fine. Just hoping things don't change over the next few months. The one thing I can't wrap my head around is why it hurts on both sides when the cyst is only on one ovary... Maybe it's just in my head. 🤷
Thanks for the support!

Sam Castillo7 said:I had clear cysts on both ovaries—about 6 cm each. One actually burst (likely ruptured) while I was just sitting there waiting for my surgery, and they ended up operating on the other one.

My gynecological surgeon warned me that a rupture like that can be absolutely brutal—enough to make you pass out from the pain. He described it as this sharp, intense abdominal pain that’s impossible to mistake for your typical period cramps.
Luckily, that wasn't my experience. I have no clue how that cyst just vanished; all I felt was this incredibly uncomfortable pressure in my lower abdomen during my period. I guess it all depends on the specific type of cyst and stuff like that.😕

But, while I was stuck in the hospital, I met a bunch of young women who ended up in emergency surgery because their cysts ruptured after lifting something heavy or straining too hard. To make matters worse, the cysts had twisted around the ovaries, so things got pretty messy for them.

God... it hurts so bad when I try to walk. I legit feel like one leg is shorter than the other. Honestly, I can't even tell if it's worse when I'm walking or just sitting down...
I'm dying for this appointment. This whole waiting game is driving me insane. 😲

Look, I really need answers because this pain is constant. From what I’ve gathered, those things usually burst during your period, but for me, it’s the opposite—my ovaries have been killing me for three months straight during the weeks I *don't* even have my period 😕.
Honestly, I'm starting to freak out. If it grew by a whole centimeter in just one week, what on earth is it going to look like after three months...

Hi everyone!

I’ve got a question for the ladies out there who have dealt with a "burst" cyst. Basically, after some spontaneous ovarian issues, I ended up with a cyst (about 6 cm). My doctor told me we should just wait two cycles to see if it pops on its own. Well, I’ve already gone through three cycles now, and I haven't been back for a checkup because my doctor was out of town. I’m wondering—how would I actually know if it burst? I don't mean like, would I hear a loud 🙂 "boom," but more like, would the pain be worse than usual, or would I bleed more than normal?...
I really hope someone gets what I'm asking here, because I'm starting to freak out about how big it might get if it hasn't popped, especially since the pain is constant...
Thanks in advance to everyone!!!
