They probably were follicles not cysts and perhaps they were trying or tried to ovulate. This happened to me too but since I am ER+, I got my ovaries removed and the "cysts" were unovulated follicles. I was almost 47 at the time but got my period back. It is not impossible for this to happen and it doesn't surprise me because most of us take very good care of ourselves. Eat right etc. Why shouldn't all of your body heal and rejuvenate! Sherri - you look great on the outside and now your body is telling you that you look great on the inside too!
