Worried about ovarian cyst ….

Hey! Not sure if anyone can help pop my mind at rest. I found out last Wednesday that I have a 15cm x 10cm "cyst type thing" (the actual words of the clinician) on my left ovary. We found this through a private fertility clinic as myself and my wife were looking to start our journey. So they printed the pictures and reports and took them to my GP. I'm worried about it as it's been giving me a lot of pain for months now and I got told by the GP that is was a UTI, IBS, even got told by one that was a joint issue! 
The ultrasound shows a very irregular border with what they have said on the report is projections into the cavity. 
So I have been googling all sorts which is probably not helping. It feels like I've already waited 12 months to get to this point and worried how much longer it will take to get sorted.

Has anyone else been in a similar position? I just want a professional to look at the scan and tell me "it's just a cyst" but my brains going crazy.

  • Hi i have just read your post and I also have a chat in my left ovary with lots of pain I had a ctscan done four weeks ago and k now have a generically appointment in five weeks time to see for further tests the pain is unreal 

  • Oh I'm so sorry to hear you're going through it all as well. The pain is horrible isn't it. For me it's there all of the time but then every so often it's sharp stabbing pains. ️ I hope they get you seen soon and don't make you wait too long. Have they told you much about your cyst? Or what kind of cyst it is? I don't know yet and that's what's worrying me really. 
    Clincian memotioned if need surgery due to the size of it but other than that I feel totally in limbo. 
    really hope you're ok and the pain gives you a little break! 

  • They haven't told me much about the cyst or what kind of cyst it is or how big hopefully that they will do a ultra scan to see more information and go for there hope someone looks at your scans properly and get the you need as you say it's the waiting that gets you down hope you get sorted too
