Under went laporoscopy in Jan.Cyst grew within 16 days from 2.8 cm to 5.6 c.m. Lap was done, right ovary & tube removed. Fibroid tumor was 1.8 cm. He left that in there. Said that I had very little edometreosis, and my uterus was in too good a shape to remove. Was put on BCP, named Cyclessa. Have taken for 2 full months, NOW having left ovary pain, and an unexplained RLQ pain. Could a cyst already be LARGE on my left ovary, and isn't the BCP suppose to prevent cysts? Should I contact dr now, or wait until 10 more days to see him? If you have 1 big cyst, will there be more? Need information.....
