Hi there I am 29 years old and had a dermoid tumor on my right ovary about 10cm removed and partial of my left ovary in 2007. Dermoid tumors can consists of hair, teeth, skin, fat, cartilage etc... I have had pain during intercourse which sometimes leaves me in tears and I would literally have to soak in either really hot or cold water, depending on the severity of the type of pain, just to overcome it. Today my left ovary started hurting really bad just out of the blue and I have been leaking fluid. I know I need to go to the doctor but the fear of being told they will have to take what's left of my ovary has really made me an emotional wreck because I want children so very badly. It may just be a cyst but judging from my previous 2 miscarriages over the years something is just not quite right with my lady parts and right now I need all the emotional support I can get!!!

It feels good to be able to talk with other women about these things only we can understand...

I agree! Sometimes there's nothing better than being able to connect with those who have been through the same things.
