[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a 10 cm ovarian cyst that "torsed," I guess would be the term, in the middle of my corporations class in law school.  I was maybe 8 weeks pregnant at the time.

The pain was absolutely incredible.  I didn't know what was happening and ran to the nurse and begged for an ambulance.

And then the pain disappeared.  It was so weird.  I figured this was some weird pregnancy thing and canceled the ambulance and walked home.  LOL!

A couple of weeks later I was on spring break with family when the pain started and did not go away.  In the end I had to have surgery while pregnant to remove the cyst, which was huge, and I believe she removed many more during surgery.

The baby was fine, the rest of the pregnancy was fine, the next pregnancy had no issues, and now I have a 12 and 14 year old.  You are lucky that you know what is happening if you feel any weird pain- the pain caused by torsion is horrible.[/quote]

Oh my goodness! I'm glad things worked out for you, that sounds really scary.

I am worried about the pain of a potential torsion for sure![/quote]

The pain was like nothing else I have ever experienced- I thought I was dying.  It was really scary but I’m grateful that I had the surgery in time.  In the end everybody was safe and unharmed![/quote]
