Ovarian cyst? What do you think has happened?

On Monday night I was lying in bed and, after turning over from my left side, experienced some excruciating pain - also in my left side. (Monday was day 12 of my menstrual cycle). This pain lastest until I took some painkillers but was gone the next morning.

The pain was exactly the same as the pain I experience once a month when I ovulate. On my ovulation day I have a day of quite uncomfortable pain which as far as I understand is the egg bursting out of the ovary.

However, from the morning afterwards, eg Tuesday morning, I have been bleeding a bit (from vag). This is not a period.

I have damaged something but I'm not sure what.

Does it sounds like a burst cyst?

I can't think what else it could be.

I wondered if anyone had anything similar and found out what it was?

I am now in no pain and feel fine. However, the blood is still coming.

(I know I need to see a Doctor).

Thanks

If you had a cyst and it ruptured, you would not be able to stand upright and it would be a constant pain. When mine ruptured earlier this year I couldn't even cough without being in pain. But yes make an appointment to see your GP asap
