When I was 13 I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts. I was put on a birth control which solved the problem. That was 14 years ago. I’ve gotten married and had two children since then. About 9 months after having my second child, I started getting my period every two weeks. I get cramps that are so bad that it makes me throw up and basically unable to function. I get my period for 5-7 days every two weeks and it’s extrememly heavy with heavy clotting. And about 2-3 days before I get my period I get SERIOUSLY emotional and annoyed. Like I can’t tolerate anyone or anything and I’m normally a very tolerant person. My great grandmother had a hysterectomy at 26, my grandmother had a hysterectomy at 35, and my mother had a hysterectomy at 39. I made an appt. at the gyn. but I’m afraid of what they’re going to tell me. Has anyone gone through anything similar? I’m also afraid that they’re going to put me back on a birth control which will cause me to gain weight. I’m 27 and it is EXTREMELY hard for me to lose weight. I gained 68lbs with my first child and 30 with my second. I’ve finally dropped 30lbs, but it was terribly hard. I just don’t want it to be any harder than it already is.

I get ovarian cysts and extremely heavy periods along with horrible cramps. My doctor wants me to take a low-dose birth control pill, but I’m unsure.
I heard it makes you gain weight or could put you at risk for cancer or not having children later on?
Is this true? Should I take it or no? I’m a horrible pill-taker.

I was reading a little about PCOS today and it kind of worried me, since I had some of the symptoms. I also had a sharp pain in my right arm and when I googled it a link about PCOS came up.
My symptom:
-Increased body hair.. I have dark hair so I’ve always had some, but lately it’s been a LOT.
-Ovarian cysts
-Lately my skin has been breaking out like crazy when normally my skin is pretty clear
-Weight gain
-I don’t use birth control and I’ve never been pregnant.. I know it’s silly to think I’m infertile without a proper test but it strikes me as quite odd that I’ve NEVER become pregnant while having unprotected sex
-My body has always been very hourglass. I always had a tiny waist. But the past 2 years I’ve developed more of a belly.
Should I consider seeing a doctor or gyno and discussing it with them?
Thanks in advanced

Got my appointment with some gyno specialist tomoro about some concerns with my ovaries (frightening talk!) Keep getting Pretty Large cysts on both my left and right ovary, abdominal pain, irregular and missed periods and weight gain (that sucks), Doctors trying to find the cause/treatment, got me on edge a little bit. Im almost engaged, wanting to start a family of my own (hes already got a couple troublemakers lol) kids are my life, ive worked with them and always wanted them. My mother couldnt have me and mirically concieved me through IVF (Invitro Fertilisation) (Test Tube Baby) only a couple years after the first ever test tube baby was born in 1986, im a miracle child! Ive been having nightmares ever since i had these things diagnosed by a doctor as ovarian cysts, although a common thing, mine are supposedly a large size and reccuring and bring a lot of pain with em every month, the words of a doctor haunting me in my sleep (we may birth control if youre lucky, if not simple surgery and worst case take out one of your ovaries), i havent slept in a couple days, just nervous. Me and my man have a long distance relationship; only while i finish my studies (i move back up in a few months) and im seeing him in 10 days but im just a little uptight, and I know the people on Yahoo answers can always give me a reassuring word of advice or a story lol fingers crossed!

I’m 28 years old I do not take birth control. I’ve had in the past 2 d&c, uterus ablation, and my tubes tied. I just had an ultrasound to see if the cyst on my left ovary has gotten any bigger. My question is I have pain on my left side in the pelvic area. Also pain in my lower back. And it also hurts during sex. It even hurt during the ultrasound. So I’m just wondering what are the symptoms to an ovarian cyst. Now I’m just waiting on the results to the ultrasound. I do not have a period anymore the only time I had blood was when I wiped myself a week ago. But I’ve been in a lot of pain for 2 weeks

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!

I do not have health insurance yet, I’m waiting to hear back from a few places before I choose,so I can’t go to the doctor yet. Ovarian cyst and cancer runs in my family and was wondering if anybody knows what this could be. My husband and I are ttc month 5 now and I normally have a 30 day cycle. A few months ago it switched to a 33 day cycle. Well this month I was 4 days late and thought I was pregnant well then af came and that was that. Well, now a week after I got off my period I can tell I’m ovulating by the cm, I can always tell when I’m ovulating by the cm. I have also been very bloated, over the weekend, I haven’t eaten more than normal, my work pants have gotten snug and I have been gaining weight. I have had migraines or at least a headache every day, I have a cold now and was feeling like I was going to throw up. I go from hot to cold all the time, and every time I brush my teeth or use any form of mouth wash it makes me gag to the point where I’m dry heaving. I have been using the bathroom a little bit more and sometimes it’s just very little that comes out. Does anybody know what this could be at all. I’m worried about myself and until I finalize my insurance I can’t go to the doctor and would like some piece of mind.
I also am not on birth control and have not been on bc in over 3 years. I also have taken preg. test and they came out neg.

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?
