I have had a number of bilateral ovarian cysts (which included functional, hemorrhagic and endometrioma cysts) over the past 10 years. And I have even needed surgery for 2 of them because they didn't resolve after a few cycles (as they usually do resolve after a few cycles).

Ovarian cysts are usually a common and harmless swelling of one or both ovaries. These cysts most often occur in women who are between puberty and menopause, when the ovaries are in high gear propelling out mature eggs. The term functional means the cyst is not caused by any underlying disease or disorder, and that it will possibly resolve (shrink and disappear) on its own in a few weeks.

Some functional ovarian cysts have no symptoms and are discovered, if at all, during routine pelvic exams. Others can cause symptoms, including changes in the menstrual cycle, including shorter or longer periods, skipped periods, and/or spotting between periods, pelvic pain or ache, especially during sexual intercourse or at the start or finish of menstruation, feelings of nausea or queasiness or breast tenderness.

It does sound to me like you could have an ovarian cyst, I have experienced the same type of symptoms you are describing except for the dizzy feeling, however the only way to know for sure is to find out by having an ultrasound (which you're having soon). I would recommend that if you do have an ovarian cyst, that you ask your doctor/gynaecologist lots of questions with regards to it, such as what type of cyst is is, is it a simple cyst (such a as functional (fluid-filled) cyst) or a complex cyst (such as hemmorhagic cyst)? As your doctor/gyno how big it is and what they would recommend such as waiting to see whether it resolve on it's own within a few cycles, whether your doctor/gyno may recommend you take the pill for a couple of months to see whether that helps resolve the cyst or whether you may need to have the cyst surgically (laparoscopy) drained/removed.

Good luck :)

if you have cysts on your ovaries then the ultrasound and doc examine would tell you that. you could have a bladder or kidney infection any number of things. let doc know all symptoms and have them do tests that they should do

I have had many many many cysts...and yes they are very painful I had an ovary removed then ended up with a hysterectomy due to the pain...I am only 30...anyway when I had them I know that it was during ovulation and i hurt in my lower abdomen and in my lower back and some days it radiated down the inside of my legs i was usually doubled over had a heck of a time standing straight and didnt dare pick any of my kids up and yes it can be other things as well when you have severe stomach pain it can be ur appendix, ur gallbladder, and also ectopic pregnacy I had oh i think 6 surgeries to drain my cysts but the really good thing is that some or mosts cysts go away on thier own....usually they make sure that you are comfy pain wise and let it take care of themselves anyway see ur doctor to make sure everything else is ok....Good Luck I feel Ur pain and make sure you dont have a fever....
