Hi there,

First of all try not to worry too much. Worrying won't make the test results come back faster and you could just be getting worked up over nothing if the results come back normal anyway.

What other tests did they do at the doctors? Ovarian cysts are most commonly diagnosed by chance usually if you have an ultrasound scan or the doctor may press on your abdomen to see if they can feel anything and if they did they would book you in for a scan most likely. Blood tests are usually conducted after the presence of a cyst is confirmed so there's a good chance the doctor may not even be looking for cysts right now unless they told you they were specifically.

Having heavy periods and feeling nauseous during your period could be a symptom of many other things so don't jump to the conclusion of cysts too fast. The following link shows that heavy periods can be caused by many things : http://www.patient.co.uk/health/heav...ds-menorrhagia

Even if you do get diagnosed with having cysts it's not the end of the world and most cysts disappear by themselves without any complications.

I hope this helped, good luck for the results
