If your daughter doesn't want to go on the pill - natural progesterone cream would be a great option. My sister-in-law had cysts but tried progesterone before surgery and she ended up after 3 months not needing surgery. It might be something to try before having to start estrogen at 17 =) There's lots of good websites with info you can check out if you want to - email me and i can send you the list of sites... good luck... kwarnol@aol.com
