Men, it will slightly make me smile if you write that you've gone through it...I know you want to.
I had one that was removed when I was 16 years old... I thought I had one when last year, but, it turned out to be bootirrific horrible cramps. The physicians said to take Aleve (prescription strength) because the amount of prostaglandins that cause the inflammation and bloating.

A former coworker of my actually had hers to rupture. It literally took the ovary over to her other side. There was no other recourse but to remove the ovary. She couldn't walk that fast for ~2-3 months or up stairs all the fast.

All I got to say is watch yourself, you know your body the best. And when you have an inkling that you think you cannot do it, just let it be and don't do it... Listen to your healthcare providers and take the appropriate meds they give to you. What you had is serious.
