Sharon,
Thanks for the response! Yes I would like to know more about what you went through. I am not familiar with some of the terms of your cyst if you don't mind telling me more about that. Here I thought I knew it all by now.

Actually my cyst was found due to an MRI to check the pituitary because I am having reproductive problems. I have self-diagnosed myself with endometriosis because after a year something has to be building up in there somewhere and it is more common in childless women and I am 32 and my dog is my baby! haha

Although the pituitary was fine and supposedly all hormone levels normal (altho when they took all that blood I was on BC), this cyst was found. I've also read, like you said, that the pressure of the cyst etc. can cause other problems like the fluid flow or alter the pituitary.

No one really seems to care here so I am going to Mayos in Rochester in August. I did get out of him that it is 1.5cm. He didn't even offer to watch it for size.

Any info would be great! I've found the support from others' experiences has been great!

Thank you - Janine
