I found out yesterday that I have a 2-inch hemmorhagic cyst on my left ovary. I had been having horrible pains for 5 days and finally went in to see my doctor to have an ultrasound, and there the little bugger was--just haning out on the surface of my ovary!
My doctor is hopeful that a round of pills is going to shrink the cyst and let my body reabsorb it, so I started the meds last night. I go back in 6 weeks for another ultrasound, and if it's not gone I'll have to have it surgically removed--wonderful, right!?
Doc says I'm supposed to "take it easy" for the 6-weeks...no exercise, no heavy lifting, etc. RIGHT!!! Little does she know that my son weighs just under 25 pounds, so I'll be doing some heavy lifting, no doubt about it!
The biggest concern is that it might possibly rupture or cause torsion (twisting) of my ovary...rupture wouldnt be so bad, but twisting would be! I guess I better try to follow the doctor's orders!
Just keep me (and my little ovary) in your thoughts during the next 6-weeks...think shrinking thoughts! :)
