I have been diagnosed with having small ovarian cysts for the past year and a half. I have days of pain, as well as somewhat normal feeling days during the month, and I have noticed a pattern in my days with pain. They are usually right before my period, and about 5 days around ovulation time. Does anyone else relate to this pain/pattern situation? Also, besides pain, do you notice any other recurring symptoms with your cysts (gastro issues)?
