Is it >possible to still develop functional cysts while taking bcp? Dear Isla, It is unlikely, but not impossible to develop a cyst while on the contraceptive pill. However, in view of the (small) size of your cyst your doctor has been wise to advise a repeat check-up before embarking on any further measures. A period of a few months in between would be both reasonable and wise. -- Prof.dr. René H.M.
