Default please help

i had my first ovarian cyst last month.
i've been low carbing for 2 years so i know that's not the problem. i'm not on BC so it's likely just my age, etc.

anyhow, has anyone had prolonged cramps and VERY light blood and no period? i've had cramps for like 2-3 days now without a full period... i feel so uncomfortable and this is 100% not the way my body normally operates.



please help....

Not sure if you'll get the answers you seek on this board, but I will answer your question if I can

I have various ovarian cycsts and as a general rule ,they don't cause me a great deal of trouble.
However, sometimes I do get light bleeding like that and awful cramping.
I think you should take pain relief when this happens, get a hot watter bottle and lay it on your tummy where it hurts to relieve the pain, but then go to your DR and tell him just how painful it is and that it's making you feel terrible. He might have some kind of pain relief which helps that kind of problem.

I wish I could tell you it gets better, but unfortunately it doesn't really - you just manage it.

i got my period today finally.

it's a very strange one... they've been SO strange lately.
i've also had a cyst burst and have blood expelled... that one
really sucked. right now i'm in major cramping mode... sluggish and tired.
i heard your periods get worse once you start getting cysts....

i can't wait to get pregnant... i guess all of this stuff clears up once you have a baby.
