Hi Amy,
After trying several different types of bcps, I did find one that helped
me for a while. I would still be on them today, but I had to stop
taking them because it caused an big increase in my migraine headaches.
I should warn you that it may or may not stop you from getting cysts,
but it should stop your periods.
Best wishes,
D.N.
