If anyone has had ovarian cysts what symptoms did you have ? I’ve had a pain on my right side accompanied with back pain and brown spotting and think it could be a cyst, I’ll be going to the drs but it’s obviously Sunday so just wanted to hear from anyone else that’s experienced them and what happened :)

I get them often. I get a dull pain just to the inside of my hip bone. Then when they pop I get a sharp pain into my rectum basically (can't think of another way to describe it!)

I've seen them on several TVU scans so I know what they are etc. Mine are just simple cysts. They get to 4 or 5cm them disappear.

Its quite common I was told.

Did you get any brown spiriting and back pain? It’s also felt a bit like it’s gone down my thigh , how long would you say you had the pain before they pop? X

No spotting with mine. I just have a 'period' a few days later. But that's red blood (I have a mirena so don't usually bleed).

Maybe a few weeks or days sometimes.

I would put in an online request to your GP now (they'll read it first thing Monday morning) and if you're really concerned, then give 111 a call.

I'm having period problems ATM I think I might have a cyst on my left ovary. Before and during my period I get an actual throbbing pain feels like something is going to pop down there. This is the the 5th one I've had this pain/throbbing, this also comes with spine pain but I haven't noticed no brown.
