Today... I am grateful.

Over the past month I have been feeling this pain on my lower right side.  And I have been nothing but worried about it.  Of course I got on the internet and looked at every possible thing it could be.  And it scared me!  My mom and I came to the conclusion that it was probably an ovarian cyst.  Once again, I read into it.  Discovered many of the 'cons' to it. 

I went to the doctor's about a week ago to get this checked out.  And today I went to get the scheduled ultrasound.

Waking up this morning I was nervous.  Who knew what this pain was?  A tumor? The thought that it could maybe make it difficult for me to have children (scared the daylights out of me!)

GOOD NEWS! It was an ovarian cyst.  And it ruptured!  (Which is good!)  Hopefully just not to return. 

"These are very common which occur under normal circumstances of the menstrual cycle. These functional cysts are benign meaning that they are localized. There will be a development of a cyst each time when an egg is produced by the ovary. The size of the cyst will be small. This cyst will get ruptured when eggs get released from the ovarian tissues. In the case where the cyst does not break up, it will swell in size. They will get smaller in size after the ovulation. The rupture of these follicular cysts will cause intense pain in the pelvic region which will last for one or two days. Pain will be due to the bleeding inside the abdominal cavity which would be utterly nagging. When bleeding is excessive, surgery is a definite option. The pelvic exam is the option used with the intervention of ultrasound methods for curing this type of cysts. One can expect normal cure within a period of one month."

(And still waiting back for the EXACT results. Still crossing my fingers.  But not as hard.)

I am so grateful that this is what it is.  Nothing else... hopefully!  Kind of a little too much info.  But I really don't give a rat's-a.  I sure do know what my prayers have been answered!
