Birth control & ovarian cysts?
by LC on Monday, August 17th, 2009 | 2 Comments
I was wondering whether one can still ovulate and have ovarian cysts form on your ovaries when using birth control pills? I have heard that certain low dose birth control pills can make you ovulate and can still make cysts form.
I’m on the pill to prevent cysts and endometriosis but have had this pain in my right ovary area for about a week and I’m going to see my doctor on thursday but was just wondering whether it could be a cyst or endometriosis that is causing my pain?
Has anyone else experienced this?
One can still get cysts while being on the pill. I’ve had it happen to me once.
The ovulation type pain can also be a symptom of the endometriosis coming back.
When my endo started to come back in 1999 (I’ve had other recurrences of my endo since then) one of the first symptoms I felt was pain in my ovaries like I was ovulating but yet I wasn’t and I was on the pill.
I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
Your appendix is also in that area. There could be other reasons for pain in the lower right side of your abdomen.
All of them need a medical eval. If you are running a fever, esp. a low-grade temp, you need to see the doctor as soon as possible.
