I've been dealing with a cyst on my left ovary, and initially, it was 4cm but now it's shrunk to 3cm. Occasionally, I get these sharp abdominal pains, which are pretty concerning. I also have my periods every 20 to 22 days, but they bring on intense pain in my legs, thighs, and lower left back. My doctor hasn't prescribed any meds for the cyst yet, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be worried about. Is it crucial to get this cyst treated, or will it just resolve on its own? Could it cause issues down the road?

A 3cm ovarian cyst might resolve on its own, especially if it's functional, but the sharp pains and irregular, painful periods suggest it should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or persist, treatment may be needed to prevent complications like rupture or fertility issues. Discuss further with your doctor.

Question

I've been on Deviry for 5 days, and it's now the 10th day since I finished taking it, but I still haven't gotten my period. Normally, I'd have my period by the 7th day after finishing Deviry. Is there any reason why it might be delayed this time?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.
