Missed period, not pregnant and put on Birth Control? ?
I missed my period tis month and have a large cyst on my right ovary. They put my on Birth Control and said that I would be spotting. The first days I was spotting a little but now it seems like I have my actual period. Lighter but the cramps are there for sure. I just started the BC and I was told that I was only supposed to get my period the last week of the packet of BC. Is it normal to get your period right when I started bc? or could this just be heavier spotting? Also do ovarian cysts cause bloating? And gaining weight? Thank you ssoo much.
Usually ovarian cysts don’t cause bloating and weight gain but it depends on the kind of cyst.
You mentioned that you are on the pill now, and in addition to causing breakthrough bleeding (bleeding that acts a lot like a period but isn’t) it can cause bloating and weight gain (this weight gain is mostly water due to the hormones in the medication).
However, I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
