That is really awesome! By your description it sounds like you may have had a Functional Cyst. At least that's what they called them when I would get them. I had one that was the size of a grapefruit and it went away after 2 period cycles - never to return (at least THAT size). Women get cysts on their ovaries all the time and they usually don't cause any problems (other than the stupid PAIN!) - they usually disappear after your next period. It's good to get ultrasounds done if they are big like that though, so that they can determine what kind of cyst it is! I've also had one removed during a laproscopy too.

Keep up the great work on following this way of eating! There really are a lot of benefits and maybe keeping cysts at bay is one of them!!!
