Thanks for the info D.N. I have been on bcps for years and have taken
my current one, Lo-Ovral for several. I have been very lucky to not be
bothered by side effects from most bcps. I have also never had a
problem with cysts. I'm glad to hear it should stop my periods. I hope
that it also helps the endo to somewhat subside. We'll see!
