I always get more pain on my right side too, but the cysts are mainly on
the left & apparently the left ovary is worse. Strange hey. I was on
Yasmine but I am from Australia, not sure if that makes a difference. I
have had 2 vaginal deliveries so sorry I dont know what it must feel
like for you. There must be something wrong though with your right
side. Frustrating isn't it when they just cant tell you what the hell
is wrong. Good luck & try to stay positive, it is hard but sometimes it
can help. :)
