This is going to sound like a strange question, but Ive thought about this before and I am looking to see if anyone has any experience with this.

Is there a connection with female ovarian cysts and/or hormonal issues and high intensity exercise.?

About 3 years ago, I had developed a cyst, and it was during a period of time where I had alot of stress, sleepless nights, and also was working out very hard, teaching about 7-8 spinning classes a week. Those of you who have taken spinning know its quite a challenging, high heart rate activity and can be rather stressful on the body.

Well, here I am 3 years later, with a 21 month old who doesnt sleep, and also teaching 6 classes per week, and I feel symptoms of the cyst coming on again.

Any thoughts? Or just a coincidence....
