Hello VPers,

I'm having a weird period this cycle and I am looking for some opinions. 

I am currently TTC and had an anovulatory cycle this past month (according to my temps). The cycle lasted about 40 days, then a few weeks ago I started spotting. This happened off and on for a few weeks, then my hubby and I had sex last Friday, and I started bleeding more after that, almost like a normal period, but not quite. Later that night I started having this sort of twisting, pinching pain around the area of my right ovary, (but no menstrual cramps or sore breasts like I usually get with a period, just a sore abdomen). It's been going on since then, off and on. Also, the bleeding has become heavier, just like a normal period, over the past few days. I am not bleeding an excessive amount or anything, but the pain concerns me because I have PCOS and I am wondering if I had a cyst that ruptured when I had sex on Friday. I haven't been on any fertility meds for a few months, but when I was on Clomid this past summer it caused a few large cysts to form, even though I did ovulate on it. As far as I know they went away on their own, like my doctor said they would, but now I'm afraid I have another one that has burst this time. Should I call my doctor? Can a ruptured cyst be serious? I've never had one rupture as far as I know, so I am clueless about this. Thank you for any advice you can offer!

welcome to the joys of PCOS. you get cysts, sometimes they go away, sometimes they rupture, sometimes they just tapdance in place and tell you "hey, i'm HERE!!!"

that last one sounds like what you have going on. twinges when you move in a way it doesnt like, general low grade owwies? a rupture gives (for me) a REALLY LARGE BURST OF PAIN then large large aches for the following few days. they arent something to rush to the doctor about UNLESS you get bleeding that isnt in line with your normal menses and/or start running a fever.

or unless the pain is bad enough (to you) to tell you "doctor, now, stop the pain please".
