Absolutely: Cysts are what ovaries do for a living, as in ovulating eggs contained within follicular cysts. They also produce hormones which have an effect on the uterus. The uterus response to hormone changes from the ovaries is to bleed or not bleed. A follicular cyst that doesn't release it's egg doesn't produce progesterone, continues to produce estrogen, and may delay menstrual periods.
