to be pooping myself about testing?

[tearsndtantrums]

hiya i was on before but the pc crashed and then i couldnt get my password to work.

anyway basically i had a period on the 1st july and about a week or so ago i bled for one day. im getting a test today and im pretty sure im not but i cant help feeling scared in case i am. i have an ovarian cyst so im thinking that could be the cause of late period. but if i am pregnant the cyst could cause problems and im actually waiting to hear from the hospital to remove it.

we have been soooooo careful and are using protection although i dont want the pill/jab/implant etc because as soon as im healed from the op i do want to ttc asap.

anyhoo my partner is quite excited and is coming back in his lunch break to see the result. im feeling scared because the timing is wrong and i want this cyst out of me before i concieve. he thinks that because we have 1 much loved son another is no problem. which is true except i dont want to be pregnant whilst i have a cyst as it could be dangerous to me and any child. and if im not that means i will have one very down partner. arrrrgh so am i being unreasonable for not wanting to be pregnant?

btw im waiting for my tax credit giro to turn up so then i can buy the test in case anyones wondering why i havent peed on a stick already lol

Well, it's probably more likely that you are not pregnant given what you have said. I just wanted to post to say that when I was pregnant with dd1 it was discovered at my first scan that I had two very large cysts on my ovary. It was explained that if they ruptured or twisted it was likely that I would need emergency surgery BUT on a positive note they did very frequent scans to check it was not growing and that all was well. The pregnancy continued as normal and about a year after dd1 was born I had them removed before TTC dc2. So try not to worry too much if the test is positive, just go and see your GP and they will refer you to a specialist for monitoring.

thanks hun. this one isnt large but it causes me jip so i want it gone because sometimes the pain is awful and being a sahm its not fair on my son when mummy cant keep picking him up or play with him properly because it hurts.

anyway the post has arrived as has my money so am popping to the chemist now.

Hope for your sake that test is neg but agree with chopchop that surgery is safer than ever during pregnancy if its necessary so try not to worry. let us know how you get on!

yes it was negative
still no sign of a period though
