Hi Cindy,
you wrote;"They usually burst and resoulve themselves. That may be why
it didn't show up on your ultrasound." If this happened then why do I
still feel so much pain during ovulation, even back then I felt some
pain. Not only that but the pain is getting worst with each cycle. I
didn't experience that much pain back then when I had my ultrasound.
Only as of lately has ovulation become extremely painful and every other
day I have a dull aching pain. I think it's possible that they missed
what was already there. Or it's possible it was too small to be pick up
by the ultrasound. What do you think? Is that possible?
