>> i am currantly dealing with a painful, yet functional cyst which developed before taking the pill. to make a long story short, i had a laporoscopy after a painful burst to clean up the mess the burst cyst caused. my doctor insisted i go on the pill to give my ovaries a brake. i rebelled after two months and went off the pill because i wanted to get pregnant. after one month i developed a small cyst on my other ovary. anyway i read in a holistic health book that said bcp can cause ovarian cysts. the book did not say how or why. i asked my doctor about it and he said it was not true. anyway, i just thought you might want to know.

All the medical literature I've read basically supports that BCP's help prevent cysts. And the first cyst I had, I was not taking BCP's at all and never had. If you can handle taking the BCP, it would be a good idea to take it so you don't have anymore cysts. Only a small minority of women (like myself) get cysts while on birth control pills. My cysts are functional cysts which are a biproduct of ovulation. BCP's should suppress ovulation, but they don't in me.
