DHEA and cysts?

UMichGirl

I've been on DHEA for a month and a half now (25mg, 3x/day) and for the last maybe week (?) or so (I can't remember exactly when I first noticed it), I've noticed a dull pain in what I can only figure is my left ovary area. 

I don't feel it all the time but I'm reminded several times a day about it.  For example, whenever I pee I feel the dull pain there.  Sounds odd, I know.  Sometimes when I first sit down I feel it.  On a scale of 1-10, I'd say maybe it's a 4 or 5 so it's not an emergency and I'd feel almost silly telling my nurse I have a dull pain that may or may not be a cyst on my left ovary (especially if it turned out to be nothing).  However I also don't want to let it go and have a situation get worse if it is in fact a cyst.

The only reason I bring up the DHEA is because I haven't had a medicated cycle since December and the only time I developed cysts was after medicated cycles and I never knew I had them other than u/s.  DHEA is the only "different" thing I've taken.

Anyone who's taken DHEA before...did you develop cysts as a s/e?  I'm going to try and google this too.

TY!

Like you, I have been taking DHEA for about a month and a half and thankfully no symptoms have come up.  I do, however, get that type of pain you are explaining around the time I ovulate.  It is intermittent though.

I hope you get some answers to this question.  GL!
