Chocolate cysts

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

I’ve recently had a c section and during the surgery they removed a chocolate cyst. I haven’t had a follow up appointment or anything… does this mean I have endometriosis? Will it grow back?

A chocolate cyst doesn’t always mean endometriosis, although is it a sign. It’s just a regular cyst filled with blood, so you have any other endo symptoms?

oh ok! I’ve always had painful, irregular periods but tbh thought it was ‘normal’. I guess it’s something to keep an eye on?

Sorry late to this post! They found a chocolate cyst on one of my ovaries during an ultrasound last year. They said that this did mean I had endometriosis so I would advise following this up. I've seen several consultants to discuss my cyst and the chance is if it was removed, that another one could appear at a later date.

Hi thank you for your reply! Do you mind me asking if you had any symptoms before they found your chocolate cyst or was it a surprise to you? I had mine removed during my c section 10 weeks ago and there was no advice to follow up with anyone so I’m confused about it all!

So late to this post but would love to chat with you, message me!

Apologies for my late reply I missed the notification! I went for a scan as I suddenly started getting intense pain when I ovulated.

I hope you've managed to get some follow up since you posted

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks.

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
