Well ... I am heading into my ultrasound right away, and I am super nervous. I hope everything is okay!
Cysts are very often benign, but they can be painful. I know that birth control can keep them at bay, which is problematic, if you're trying to conceive. I know there are other hormone treatments as well that can help, but I'm not sure how it affects fertility.
My mom has had several problems related to her lady-parts, and cysts are one of those. Typically they get worse as you're ovulating, and then will shrink back to nothing shortly after a period. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a common side affect to going off of depo.
Well, good news, it is just a simple follicular cyst, the pain should resolve and I should be back to normal within a week, I just have to take it easy for a little while longer, as it is a fair sized cyst, and they can rupture if you aren't careful.
The ER physician said that this means that the depo-provera has likely cleared from my system. That is pretty good news, since we have been "not trying not to" have a baby, and would like to have a baby soon!
Also good news, other than the cyst, all of my reproductive organs are looking healthy, and normal, so that is good to know.
Glad to hear you are doing well and will be back to normal soon! Good luck with TTC :)
I'm glad to hear that it was nothing too serious, but i'm sorry you had to go through it at all!
Thanks ladies! I am just chilling on the couch with a heatind pad, took some aleve, and I am just taking it easy. I am hoping that I feel better in the next day or 2 - but it is nice to have an excuse to dodge shovelling the walks!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I just need to whine a bit, so bear with me! I have been off of depo-provera, for 4 months now ... in the beginning I felt kind of crappy, with really sore boobs etc, but then it faded away and I felt fine. I haven't seen AF yet, but I am told that is normal and can take up to 6 months to return. I did have some weird sore feelings in my lower abdomen a week ago, and assumed AF was going to show ... but she didn't, and the sore feelings went away.
3 days ago I started having some pretty bad cramping, I assumed again that AF was coming and just went about business as usual, I went to work, etc, with the cramps getting worse and worse every day. I was at work at the hospital today (I am an NICU nurse), and the cramps got so bad I could barely stand, so I went to emergency - still no AF, pregnancy tests negative, but cramping and pain when my lower abdomen is palpated.
They think I have an ovarian cyst, but aren't sure so I am going for an ultrasound as soon as I can be fit in this week. I know that they are fairly routine, but at the same time, the emerg doctor cautioned me to "take it easy" to avoid causing a rupture! I had to take a sick day tomorrow, because I get pains bad enough that it makes working difficult, and truth be told I am a bit anxious ... I really hope it is "just" a benign cyst that resolves itself, but my mind keeps running through all the other possibilities ...
