• *TMI in this question *have dr. appt. next wk. jus want personal experience or knowledge I have symptoms of preg/cyst/stress/or??? But Im interested in how CYSTS on OVARIES affect PERIODS I know it can cause *bleeding or spotting in between periods *heavier, painful, longer periods *irregular timing of periods But: I am 21, periods since I was 11. periods ALWAYS=5 days 1:normal flow 2:heavy 3:VERY HEAVY 4:heavy 5:normal then complete stop. I NEVER SPOT BEFORE OR AFTER!!! **i know the body changes every few years, and people can get a strange period BUT could a cyst have caused my USUAL period which came at regular time to be SHORTER&LIGHTER? ONLY 3 full days of NORMAL flow, then 2 days of very light spotting? Blood color=period red, normal CRAMPS pain on day 1. ps:answer about CYST or ur PERSONAL pregnancy. dont say pregnancy not possible, i KNOW people with NORMAL heavy painful period throughout ENTIRE healthy pregnancy

• Answer:

  Have you ever been checked for endometriosis? This is what I have...If you talk to your doctor about it he/she can explain the procedure to check for it better than I. They will have to put a scope in your belly button (not real painful, simple procedure) and check your uterus. It may also be a cyst....just get an ultrasound done and if there are no cyst, bring up the thought that it could be endometriosis...its quite commen. Good luck!
