I too had ovarian cysts, but not PCOS. Like Jillian

My cysts develop when I ovulate. The egg is released and the shell that encased it is supposed to collapse not long after. Mine didn't collapse, and instead formed a hard outer shell. This happened month after month until my ovaries were covered with them, and the pain became unbearable. I eventually had my cysts burst and drained, and had three seperate laps for this.

My period came every month like clockwork. And I was able to fall pg without trouble (back then!)

Luckily since probably about 1997, they haven't re-occured. Also, I was told that pg alleviated my problem as I don't ovulate and therefore the cysts don't form!

My mum had the same problem and eventually at 46, had a ovarian hysterectomy.
