A member asked:

I have an 2cm ovarian cyst, does that mean my egg wasn't released?

It depends: Depends on which day of your cycle. If during your follicular phase of your cycle, it may mean that your follicle is not ovulated yet. If it is in your luteal phase, it may be a corpus luteal cyst ( a follicle after ovulation). Which means that your egg is already released. You may easily to determine which one by checking your BBT or Progesterone level.

Hard to say.: Ovarian follicles may grow to 2 cm or slightly more. Thus a 2 cm ovarian cystic structure may still be a dominant follicle and not yet a follicular cyst (which occurs when the follicle fails to expell the egg). This cyst may also be from a different menstrual cycle and still persist now. So it's hard to say.
