I have been experiencing increasing right-sided pelvic/hip pain post hysterectomy following surgery in September. My chiropractor thought it may be related to SI joint dysfunction and/or intraligamentous ligament from the surgical positioning. My GYN sent me for an ultrasound which revealed a small cyst on my right ovary. The technician said it looked functional, but the pain during the transvaginal ultrasound was excruciating on the right side, reproducing much of the upper buttock/hip pain. What benign conditions can cause this type of ovary pain that refers in this way? Could it be the cyst even though small? Are there possible post-op complications (e.g., hematoma, abscess) that can mimic a cyst on ultrasound?

I had my menstrual cycle on the 23rd, which lasted 5 days. Since then, I've been spotting with light bleeding. This has been ongoing since the 27th or 28th. I've also noticed increased hunger and stomach aches. I had unprotected sex on November 28th. What could be causing this spotting and light bleeding, and should I be concerned?

Is taking a blood test more effective for determining pregnancy, and would it be accurate if I take one on the 13th day after sex? I should start my period the following Monday evening or Tuesday morning. Additionally, what are the chances of getting pregnant if a drop of semen fell onto my vagina while I was laying on my back?
