Re: How can this be?Another Cyst so soon after Lap,How do I approach my Gyno?From: Becca (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Feb 27 12:50:18 2006
Hey Storm, I hear your cries and can totally feel "Your pain"! I wish I had some answers or advice! I have been suffering from what I've been told as "cysts" for a few years now with every cycle I get. I finally had a lap last month. They didn't find anything unusual!!!! Ugh! My dr. (United States) said there's nothing physically wrong and I need to mentally tell myself that! ERGH! Yet, I've ovulated twice and have had 1 period since and now the symptoms ARE WORSE!!! MY pain is on the right side. I am going to a new dr. next week and a specialist in June. I'm picking up my records today from my old dr. just to see what she said :) I am very curious what your final dianosis and treatment is. Please keep us posted!
