    Hi Antheia. I'm not too sure about removal of cysts or medication etc as I never got that far however, I had 4 ovarian cysts rupture simultaneously when I was 17 as I was too embarrassed at that age to have the pains checked out. I had no idea that I even had ovarian cysts until one night I felt the most incredible pain in my life! Mum thought I was having a miscarriage. She called a family friend who is our doctor and he came around and gave me some morphine shots and diagnosed the pain as ruptured ovarian cysts which was confirmed the next day via u/s. Short story is that I remember asking him if I will have any problems TTC because of this and he said no. True to his word, we had no problems conceiving and were lucky on the fourth try.

    Upon re-reading your post and saying that the pain is going through to your back, I had these same pains on and off when I was 15-18 weeks pregnant. I mentioned it to my Ob and nothing at all showed up on the u/s. When I mentioned that I had a history of ovarian cysts, they looked for them but nothing unusual showed up and the pain disappeared after a few weeks.

    If they are ovarian cysts, I hope you dont go through what I went through and that there is a simple way of removing them. Good luck!
