Terrible Pains In Ovaries & I Dont Know Why Posted: 12-21-03 19:23pm
Hi every1,im 18.5 & have been on the
mini pill (progestern only) for about
1.5yrs now.A few months ago,i was getting
terrible shooting & stabbing pains
everyday which felt like they were coming
from my ovaries & they also felt like
they were coming from deep inside me. I
made an docs appointment & had an
ultrasound & an internal camera at the
hospital.The doctor said they showed there
was nothing wrong with me except that I
may have had a cyst on my ovary which had
shrunk over time.Im now getting these
pains again & they come every now
& then which makes it hard 2 believe
that everythings fine cos these pains
really do hurt.All I want 2 know is if
any1 else has had such pains cos I feel
like im on my own on this one! Let me
know please

Hey sparkly! I have a cyst on my right
ovary that the doctor also says "not to
worry about" once in a while it hurts so
badly I could cry. I guess some cysts on
ovaries are normal. They fill up during
the month and shrink back up after the
menstrual cycle. I, however, did not
want to listen to that doctor because the
pain was so bad. I went to a specialist
who said I have all of the signs of
endometreosis. I haven't had the
laproscopic surgery to make sure, because
I do not have health insurance. Also,
when they do go in to look, they usually
cut it out if you do have it. You can
only have it removed so many times before
having to get a hysterectomy, so I am
waiting until I want to have children.
Just to be safe. But, anyway, point
being, if it continues to bother you, go
to a different doctor. I hope you feel
better! Also, you could go on a
different pill. Some pills are actually
used to treat cysts and endometreosis.
Maybe you just need a different hormonal
level.
