I have an ovarian cyst my period is late is it just the cyst doing this or could I be pregnant?

Question

Ovarian Cyst causing a late period....?
I'm 22 and I've always had very regular period every 28 days right on the money. Well the week after my period I was suffering from alot of pain in my lower right side and went to the doctor that Thursday Oct. 14 and found out I had a "simple" ovarian cyst. My doctor thought the best treatment would be birth control pills. My last period started Oct. 1 and ending Oct. 5 and accroding to the way my cycle is I should have started Oct. 28 and it hasn't yet. Is this normal? Should I go ahead and start the birth control pills now or wait till after for my period? According to the directions I'm suppose to wait till have my period then start takin the bcp? I have all the pain of a period but no bleeding am I pregnant or is this something the cyst is doin to my body?

Answer 1

My friend found out that she had an ovarian cyst because she was almost 2 months late for her period- when she went to get a pregnancy test they told her that it was just the cyst. So yes, it could be the cyst doing it.

But one should alway err on the side of caution, take a pregnancy test if there is a chance that you could be pregnant.

Answer 2

The only one who can help you is your doctor. Isn't your doctor going to refer you to a specialist to have the cyst removed? I guess you had better go see him and ask him a few questions. Don't start the pills until you see him.
