OK, I am glad I am not alone!!! It's frustrating to keep telling the doctors (my PCP and the RE) that I am sooooo tired too often, but have the test results come back ok. I think both of them want to help, but I/we just haven't figured out how yet.

For awhile now I have had problems with my cysts causing erratic pain. I had a laparoscopy last summer to get rid of them, and the RE has been trying different bcps to keep them from coming back. I was on Ovcon 35 for awhile, but the cysts came back, I was in pain, and I was bleeding between periods. So, the RE thought the Ovcon 50 might be better. So far it seems to be working, so I'm not sure if I can convince her to switch bcps. But, I don't know what to do about the fatigue ... and I guess I just needed reassurance that I'm not imagining all of this.

Anyway, thanks for "listening".
