Pop! Goes the Ovarian Cyst






So, I had an ovarian cyst burst on me Sunday.  I didn't write anything about it here, because there was so much other junk going on especially with my biopsy that I just didn't have the mental fortitude to blog about it at the time.

While mom, grandma, and W were all in the hospital last week, I had started to feel very odd.  My symptoms reminded me a bit of a bladder infection, but not quite - there was no burning sensation when urinating, there was no low-grade temp, there was no frequency in the urination either.  So, what was going on?  I didn't know, but I was about to find out.

M and I got back to Branson on Saturday night, and by Sunday my lower abdomen was throbbing and stabbing with pain.  My back and torso were radiating agonizingly as well.  I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep; I just tossed and turned all through the night.

I told Mr. C that I was pretty sure I was in the midst of an ovarian cyst bursting.  He looked up all my symptoms online and soon agreed with me.  By Sunday night, Mr. C was convinced I needed to go to the ER; but I refused.  The adoption starts on the 18th, and the last thing we need is to spend $500 on an ER visit for nothing more than pain meds and an ultrasound, especially when I had the biopsy appointment set for Tuesday morning.

So I toughed it out...

I have to say, in all honesty, those were probably the most physically painful two days of my life.  I cannot remember anything else I've gone through physically that was that excruciating.  I definitely recommend avoiding having this experience to anyone.

By my appointment on Tuesday morning, my back was still throbbing but the pain was not as sharp and stabbing as before.  After going through all of my symptoms and relating the fact that I started my third period in 29 days (and it was a WEIRD period!), everyone was on the same page.

I think it was shocking that I didn't go to the ER.  By all accounts it is one of the most painful things a woman can go through, and normally someone enduring this would be given Vicodin to ease them through at least the first few days.  I hadn't taken anything other than extra strength Tylenol along with a heating pad.

Although, I did feel good knowing that the only thing they would have done for me in the ER is do an ultrasound and give me pain meds.  I felt glad that I saved us the cash for the adoption instead of running to the ER.

Today, I'm feeling much better.  I even tried to get a run in for my 1/2 marathon training.  I didn't make it two miles before I had to stop; but I was glad that I pushed myself to at least try.

According to the Dr. K and med sites on the Internet, the aftermath of a burst ovarian cyst can linger for up to 3 months (hooray.).  I'm just praying daily that God heals me up quickly.  I don't have time to be stuck dealing with these side effects with marathon training, the adoption, my mom's surgery coming up, and all the holidays on the way!

I'm curious if anyone else out there has had an ovarian cyst burst on them?  If so, how long did you feel out-of-sorts?  I'd be very interested to hear any and all of your stories!

Here's hoping you're all doing much better than I've been lately!

  1. When it rains, it pours. I can't believe what you've had to deal with lately!

    You're an amazingly tough woman. I think I would have been planting myself in the ER and begging for meds if I'd been through the same thing.

    I hope you heal quickly. *hugs*

  5. I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years and at the same time looking for ways online, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, there was no good result from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until Doctors in Kenturkey told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF( In Vitro Fertilization). Months after my IVF nothing progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already made his plan getting married to another woman which made me sort help in spell casters. I read a testimony about Doctor Muna how he had helped so many women with pregnancy and fertility problems. Of all options tried, I decided to give Doctor Muna a try. I am now a mother of twins. A boy and a girl. For over 12 years of marriage I received my help from a spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster that is why I put up my testimony for you. Doctor Muna's email is marvelspelltemple@ gmail. com Once you contact him, he will help you fast

  6. We had no luck getting pregnant for over 12 years ..... Before my husband saw comments on Parents, referred us to marvelspelltemple @gmail. com We liked Dr Muna right away with his straight forward personality and positivity. Earlier before we met with Dr Muna I had endometriosis. Endometriosis had damaged my ovaries/eggs. We did surgery for my endometriosis and were not successful getting pregnant with IVF, however miscarried due to a chromosomal abnormality. After a couple more tries at egg retrieval, we decided to go with Dr. Muna Infertility Spell that made us conceived our first child. We decided to go for another Dr. Muna Infertility Spell, we got pregnant again and on July 6th, 2018, our second child was born! Marvel Spell Temple were so helpful during our times together. Dr. Muna always made an emotionally difficult situation a little easier with the care and support we received. Dr. Muna has a great sense of humor which lightens the tough times of infertility spell and is extremely caring. We could not of found a better spell caster. We felt very fortunate to have been directed to marvelspelltemple @g mail. com to help us through the difficulties and then success of making our little family.

  7. I just wanted to send a note to thank marvelspelltemple @gmail. com for the little girl we got to cuddle today. My first interaction with Doctor Muna about Infertility Spell process, I was scared and had a lot of questions. However Doctor Muna was always there for me throughout the whole process and became a part of the family. The most precious moments were spent looking at the first ultrasounds of our little miracle and watching her heartbeat for the first time. Moments I will not forget for the rest of my life. I am so thankful that I went to marvelspelltemple @gmail. com as he knew exactly what type of protocol to put me on that was right for me. This was our first and only attempt and thankfully it worked. Again, thank you all for your expertise and compassionate Miracle. Because of it I will have a lifetime of memories of our little girl!

  10. I give thanks to Dr Ebhota for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 18 years but none of them have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day its not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You cant really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor Ebhota from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained every thing to him. then he sent me his product which I used for 2 weeks. Now am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure to Fibroid. contact him on drebhota123456@gmail.com or whatsapp: +234935324155 he can help on any health issues

  15. I was diagnosed with PCOS and premature ovarian failure three years ago, and was told by my fertility doctor that I had little hope of having any baby, not only because of my relatively old age (I am 42).

As a last effort, my mother bought me Priest Babaka pregnancy herbal supplement and i drink it exactly as instructed 2 times daily and found myself holding a positive home pregnancy test in less than 4 weeks and 7days . It has been the greatest gift I have EVER received and a true life changer. Thanks to your supplement I am on the road to becoming a mother and I owe it all to you. " Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for your help..for inquiring or to order contact via email : babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
