    1. 2 blood tests, a urine test, an ultrasound, and a CT scan all say I am not pregnant. The cyst is 24cm x 15cm x 29cm.

    2. You’re either going to need to get that removed, or start a college fund for it. Either way I wish you luck.

      It’s wild how something like that can grow so large before being noticed. Hope recovery goes smoothly.

    4. My wife had one about the size of a grapefruit. Basically a c section to remove it. Surgery went well, recovery went well. This was probably 12 years ago. Hope you procedure goes well! Get lots of rest after!

    5. It’s wild how something like that can grow so large before being discovered. Wishing you a quick and safe treatment.

    6. oh lord. can I scream? how does an ovary even fit that much tissue?! jeeeesus I wish you so goddamn well with your surgery 💖

    7. Wow!
      I am just now, this week, recovering from surgery to fix torsion of both my ovary and tube caused by a cyst of 5 by 5 cm in size. I have a new surgery planned to remove it because it will not go away by itself and they could not both twist them back and remove the cyst in one go. I am suddenly very grateful for my situation when I read about your cyst!

      Oh man, I’m in the same boat. Kaiser didn’t diagnose me for years because they thought I was just fat — no imaging, no nothing, not even when I presented with period irregularities and bowel symptoms from the mass effect. Just “have you tried losing weight? Do you want a lap band?”

    9. After reading the comments i heard you’re getting surgery.

      Make sure to let us know afterwards if it’s a boy ot a girl.

    10. Ooooo, maybe it’ll have hair or teeth! My sister’s cyst had hair. (Or maybe it was a tumor, I can’t remember the difference.)
