Is it normal to have severe cramping with an ovarian cyst?Im also having a menstral cycle every other week or so.Ive seen a doctor,he put me on vicodin for pain but its not helping much.I had an ultrasound last tuesday and it showed the cyst.My doctor thought that my cramps were due to endometriosis im not sure how to deal with the pain.I just want to know if its normal to have severe cramping?
the doctor put me on yasmin (birth control pills) but theres no effect yet.

For the last year, each month I have had problems with ovarian cysts getting too big and rupturing, and then getting me sick, I’ve had surgeries where cysts were removed from both sides, and birth control pills don’t seem to help. A week ago I went to ER with extreme pain and vomiting, and was told there are 9 little ones between the two ovaries. i know if they are small they shouldnt be bothering me, but none of the other tests done showed any problems! I now have a fever, vomiting, headache, nausea, my pelvic area hurts really bad, and now it feels like my stomach and chest are being ripped to shreds by glass!!! HELP!

OK, so here’s my situation, I am a 24 year old overall healthy female. Recently my dcotor prescribed Yaz birth control to me due to having ovarian cysts. I have never been on any type of birth control for fear of what most woman fear; weight gain, bigger boobs (well some woman anyway), headaches, nasuea, etc etc etc…all the bad side effects.
Every woman’s body is different…yes I know that. But I don’t know what to do. In the recent months I have been bothered by weird acne break outs constantly that will not clear up. As soon as some clear, I break out elsewhere (it’s rather annoying)! I didn’t have acne as an adolscent, why should I have it now? I’m aslo having to deal with abnormally oily/greasy hair, which is also very annoying and very inconvenient when I have to wash and blow dry my hair every single day (which I don’t because it’s inconvenient).
My doctor attributed these symptoms of hormonal imbalances as the primary cause and therefore prescribed Yaz.
I’ve always been anti-birth control pills, but am finding myself in desperation. I am currently a C cup and DON’T want to get bigger boobs.I’ve also suffered from migraines in the past and have heard that BC can trigger them…as for my period itself, well it’s quite manageable. I have normal periods and they don’t really bother me so taking BC is not really to "regulate them" for I already am. It would be more for the acne, greasy hair and of course, to avoid pregnancy since my hubby and I are not ready for that just yet.

Anyway sorry this is so long, but has anyone else been in this or a similar situation? If so what did you do or what would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Katherine McCormick and Birth Control Pioneer, Margaret Sanger teamed up after Katherine’s husband gets diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Katherine did not want to pass in the illness to future children, So that work later led to the invention of the birth control pill in 1906. Around 1918, Condoms became another form of birth control in the United States. By 1921, The U.S Birth Rate drops by half. In the 1960’s the FDA approved that the birth control pill was 100 percent effective but had some terrible side effects. Some of the effects were life treating blood clots. They realized that the dosage was about 10 times too high, which was causing these terrible side effects. By the 2000’s there were many other types and forms of birth control that became effective.
There is no “best” method of birth control. Each type of Birth Control has its pros and cons. There is no method of birth control that can completely prevent pregnancy. It can fail, but there is a greater chance to prevent pregnancy while taking birth control. If you use birth control correctly all the time it could be much more effective. The most effective type of birth control would be abstinence.
How the birth control pill works is you take it the beginning of each menstrual cycle, when your estrogen levels begin to rise. Estrogen helps thicken your uterus lining. About 14 days into the menstrual cycle one of the ovaries release an egg. This is called ovulation. After that another hormone called progesterone, begins to rise. Birth control pills are a fake form of hormones, and prevent ovulation.
The different Birth control methods are: Continuous abstinence, meaning not having any form of sexual intercourse. This method is 100 percent effective. There’s the male condom, which is 98.9 percent effective. Oral contraceptives, also called “the pill”, which is 95 to 99.9 percent effective. The Mini-Pill, that is 92 to 99.9 percent effective. The Female Condom, which is about 79 to 95 percent effective. Depo-Provera, this method women get a injection, or shot of the hormone Progestin in the arm every 3 months. This method is 97 percent effective. Diaphragm, this form of birth control blocks the sperm from entering into the woman’s cervix and reaching the egg. This is 84 to 94 percent effective.
Some more forms of birth control are, The Contraceptive Sponge, It’s a barrier method that was approved by the FDA; the Sponge is 84 to 91 percent effective. The Patch (Ortho Evra), It’s a skin patch worn on the lower abdomen, or upper body. It releases hormones into the blood stream; you put on a new patch every three weeks. The patch is 98 to 99 percent effective. The NuvaRing is a ring that let’s out hormones. And is 98 to 99 percent effective. The last form of birth control is Emergency Contraception, which is an emergency form of birth control. This pill is also known as “the morning after pill.” The pills are 75 to 89 percent effective.
Some of the disadvantages of birth control method are Amenorrhea (missed period), Irregular bleeding, heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, headaches, nausea, vomiting, blood clots, can contribute to gallstones and rare liver tumors, weight gain, and weight loss. Some of the advantages are it reduces the chance of unintended pregnancy, can be obtained easily, it can improve your menstrual cycle, can protect from forms of cancer, improves bone density, and can protect you from ovarian cysts.
It’s two pages out of 4. my rough draft.

Does or has anyone here used the Loette birth control pill and if so, could anyone tell me whether they have had any side effects like mood swings, acne, vomitting, weight gain, headaches etc, about their experience of using Loette and how this pill compares to other birth control pills? I am 25 yrs old and was very recently put on this pill to help treat ovarian cysts.

I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts a few years ago and since then, my gyno has been attempting to treat them with birth control pills. However, I have a bad reaction to each pill.

The first (I can’t remember the name of that one) caused me to gain tons of weight and I was nauseous the entire time.

Next, she tried me on ortho, and I was having severe "pregnancy" symptoms without being pregnant. Everything from morning sickness to heightened sensitivity to smells and weight gain, yet again.

Finally, I just recently tried yaz. Again, with the weight gain AND I bled for 17 days out of the first month. I felt lethargic the entire time.

Has anyone else had such trouble with birth control pills?

I recently experienced an ovarian cyst rupture, and my doctor put me on Loestrin24 birth control pills to try to smooth everything out. I am a little worried about the side effects.
I know every woman’s body is different and would react differently to the pills. But what was your experience with the birth control? Did you gain weight? How much? What other side effects did you experience.

Almost a little under a year ago I went off Seasonale, I have gone from 155 to 135 since then. Over these few months I have increased my running and eatten fewer calories. My doctors think I have ovarian cyst and keep asking me to go on birth control pills again to help with the cyst. Should I break down and go on birth control again? I sure do like being thin, and I’m really scared to gain the weight back. Right now I’m really upset because I can barely walk so I def. cannot go running . . . so either way it’s a lose lose situation. Has anyone gone on birth controls with lower weight gain? Does Yasmin work well?? or the Nuvaring? Please let me know your experience with bc and weight . . .

Thanks
Let me clarify, I can barely walk because the cyst are causing me exteme amount of pain . . .
but being a size four is so much fun! . . . also, I have no had a period since Nov (I’m not pregnant) and I’m anemic

that might sound like a dumb question but with my first child i dont remember what it was like when i first got pregnant..mainly because i didnt know untill i was two months..anyway..my mom said with her second she had MAJOR cramping. she said it was hard for her to walk..and i had the same thing happen to me this morning. well i had a rather large ovarian cyst when i was about 13 (now 20) that went away with birth control pills but i decided to look up ruptured ovarian cysts and these are the syptoms the website listed…

there is a very high chance that i could be pregnant but i just dont know..

Does birth control pills guarantee that ovarian cysts won’t come back? And if you don’t ovulate doesn’t that mean cysts won’t appear?

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?

i was recently told that I have a cyst. My doctor told me that the birth control pills should make it go away. I am really worried that the cyst will not go away and it will affect my chances of having a child. I would like to hear from other woman as to if this method was successful or not. Thanks!

I have been on Ocella birth control (pill) since around aug.2008. In November i was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous skin lesion on my vulva but got that taken care of. At the time, i was also diagnosed with a little cyst on my ovary..nothing major, it went away. But here lately, it feels like im starting to get another one on the same exact spot. I have read that birth control is supposed to prevents these since Estrogen and progestin birth control pills prevent ovulation. Functional ovarian cysts do not form without ovulation? I still have regular periods, 6-7days long, sometimes their a little heavier than usual, my last one i actually had alot of clots, is this not a good sign?? And does this mean im still ovulating or fertile because of the cyst i have had??

Is it possible to lose weight while on birth control pills?

My doctor just prescribed me birth control pills for my ovarian cysts….I was planning on losing weight during the summer.

I’ve heard that people gain weight instead of lose it……so is it possible that with exercise and a proper diet that i’ll be able to lose weight?

I have been suffering with ovarian cysts for about a year now with irregular periods since my period started. lately, I do not seem to have any periods until the cysts burst which is excruciating. I have been prescribes percocet and birth control pills (combined pill called zovia). I have been on the pill for 3 months now, starting after my last ovarian cyst rupture so it was supposed to be done with. I have been taking the pill regularly at the same time and this week have started having symptoms of a cyst. Now my right ovary is radiating in pain like a cyst is about to rupture.. same feeling I have gotten with every cyst before.
Has anyone else been on birth control who has this same problem? Did the pills work for you or did you continue to get cysts?

Anyone have any insight as to why I am still getting cysts if I am supposedly not ovulating? Thanks (ive tried google with no good hits and calling my dr. tomorrow to get an appointment sometime this week)
I’ve already had bloodwork which he said was alright except my biliruben levels were pretty low. He mentioned PCOS but said he wanted to see if the birth control helped first. He seemed pretty confident that the dose of birth control her gave me would be sufficient in stopping my ovulation. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Thanks.
