Both conditions can be asymptomatic (without symptoms) except for the obvious enalargement of the abdomen in pregnancy. Pregnancy can also present with a missed period, nausea, vomitting, abdominal cramps, headaches, weight gain...etc. The main feature of ovarian cyst is that the onset of pain is sudden and that the pain is very sharp in nature especially when it ruptures. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate it from the pain of appendicitis (inflamed appendix).

Does tubular pregnancy affect future pregnancy?
Sometimes it can if the ovarian tube had to be removed. By losing the one ovarian tube you lose the ovulation power from that ovary, dropping your pregnancy chances by 50%. If the ovarian tube was not removed then there should be no effect on your ovulation, but leaves you more vulnerable to more tubular pregnancies. Best of luck!

Ovarian cysts?
DefinitionAn ovarian cyst is a sac filled with fluid that forms on or inside of an ovary.This article is about cysts that form during your monthly menstrual cycle, called functional cysts. Functional cysts are not the same as cysts caused by cancer or other diseases.For more information about other causes of cysts on or near the ovaries, see also:Dermoid cystEctopic pregnancyEndometriosisOvarian cancerPolycystic ovary syndromeAlternative NamesPhysiologic ovarian cysts; Functional ovarian cysts; Corpus luteum cysts; Follicular cystsCauses, incidence, and risk factorsEach month during your menstrual cycle, a follicle (where the egg is developing) grows on your ovary. Most months, an egg is released from this follicle (called ovulation). If the follicle fails to break open and release an egg, the fluid stays in the follicle and forms a cyst.This is called a follicular cyst.Another type of cyst, called a corpus luteum cyst, occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. These often contain a small amount of blood.Ovarian cysts are somewhat common, and are more common during a woman's childbearing years (from puberty to menopause). Ovarian cysts are less common after menopause.No known risk factors have been found.Functional ovarian cysts are not the same as ovarian tumors (including ovarian cancer) or cysts due to hormone-related conditions such as polycystic ovary disease.Taking fertility drugs can cause a condition called ovarian hyperstimulation, in which multiple large cysts are formed on the ovaries. These usually go away after a woman's period, or after a pregnancy.SymptomsOvarian cysts often cause no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they are typically pain or a late period.An ovarian cyst is more likely to cause pain if it:Becomes largeBleedsBreaks openIs bumped during sexual intercourseIs twisted or causes twisting (torsion) of the Fallopian tubeSymptoms of ovarian cysts can include:Bloating or swelling in the abdomenPain during bowel movementsPain in the pelvis shortly before or after beginning a menstrual periodPain with intercourse or pelvic pain during movementPelvic pain -- constant, dull achingSudden and severe pelvic pain, often with nausea and vomiting, may be a sign of torsion or twisting of the ovary on its blood supply, or rupture of a cyst with internal bleedingChanges in menstrual periods are not common with follicular cysts, and are more common with corpus luteum cysts. Spotting or bleeding may occur with some cysts.Signs and testsYour health care provider may discover a cyst during a physical exam, or when you have an ultrasound test for another reason.Ultrasound is done on many patients to diagnose a cyst. Your doctor may want to check you again in 4 - 6 weeks to make sure it is gone.Other imaging tests that may be done when needed include:CT scanDoppler flow studiesMRIYour health care provider may be able to feel the ovarian cyst during a pelvic exam.The doctor may order the following blood tests:Ca-125 test, to look for possible cancer in women who have reached menopause or who have an abnormal ultrasoundHormone levels (such as LH, FSH, estradiol, and testosterone)Serum HCG(pregnancy test)TreatmentFunctional ovarian cysts usually don't need treatment. They usually disappear within 8 - 12 weeks without treatment.Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) may be prescribed for 4 - 6 weeks. Longer-term use may decrease the development of new ovarian cysts. Birth control pills do not decrease the size of current cysts, which often will go away on their own.Surgery to remove the cyst or ovary may be needed to make sure there are no cancer cells. Surgery is more likely to be needed for:Complex ovarian cysts that don't go awayCysts that are causing symptoms and do not go awaySimple ovarian cysts that are larger than 5 - 10 centimetersWomen who are menopausal or near menopauseTypes of surgery for ovarian cysts include:Exploratory laparotomyPelvic laparoscopy to remove the cyst or the ovaryThe doctor may recommend other treatments if a disorder, such as polycystic ovary disease, is causing the ovarian cysts.Expectations (prognosis)Cysts in women who are still having periods are more likely to go away. There is a higher risk of cancer in women who are postmenopausal.ComplicationsComplications have to do with the condition causing the cysts. Complications can occur with cysts that:BleedBreak openShow signs of changes that could be cancerTwistCalling your health care providerCall for an appointment with your health care provider if:You have symptoms of an ovarian cystYou have severe painYou have bleeding that is not normal for youAlso call for an appointment if the following symptoms have been present on most days for at least 2 weeks:Getting full quickly when eatingLosing your appetiteLosing weight without tryingPreventionIf you are not trying to get pregnant and you often get functional cysts, you can prevent them by taking hormone medications (such as birth control pills), which prevent follicles from growing.ReferencesKatz VL.

Do ovarian cysts bleed or cause chest pain?
Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that ovarian cysts can cause excessive bleeding depending on how large they grow. For the most part ovarian cysts are generally unnoticed except for a bit more intense cramping during your cycle and possibly throwing your cycle's monthly schedule off a bit. I have never personally experienced any sort of chest pains associated with them though. But please heed my warning, if you are experiencing any unusual bleeding, do not wait, do not pass go, go directly to your OBGYN. I tried to ignore the signs and tough it out and in the end, paid for it dearly. Don't end up in the hospital like I did.
