first off, I have IBS, have always had stomach problems and bloating. Just posting this to relieve my thoughts lol.

I’m new to be diagnosed with IBS so I’m not 100% & confident with my symptoms. Also just found out I have a gold ball- sized, blood-filled ovarian cyst on my right ovary if that could even be it. Prob not bc it’s not located in my lower abdomen. All it does now is cause discomfort during PMS, menstruation, and ovulation.

I have noticed more lower abdomen “belly fat” or a “presence”. I’m not even sure if it is fat bc I haven’t gained x amount of weight to even cause a noticeable amount for me to be concerned.

Yes I have had my periods every month during my sugar pills of my birth control. They’re not as heavy ofc and mostly dark red or dark brown.

Any thoughts ?

TIA
