Thank you for your question. Ovarian cysts are very common in women. An irregular period is the most common sign of an ovarian cyst, so I wouldn’t be too alarmed. If you are experiencing severe or spasmodic pain in your lower abdomen, accompanied by fever and vomiting, see your doctor.
Do you know what kind of cyst you have? Many physicians actually give you a pregnancy test in order to see if you have a corpus luteum cyst. This kind of cyst will create a false positive on a pregnancy test so you should be aware. A simple blood test will be a more accurate test if you have this type of cyst.
You can find more information about cysts on the following website from the Mayo Clinic http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ovarian-cysts/DS00129/DSECTION=causes.
