Sounds like you've had nothing but problems since you started the
pill(s). These problems may be the cause of some of the problems, or
parts of some of the problems. Ovarian cysts shouldn't be caused by the
pil but neither will they shrink due to the pill.
You may wish to consider discontinuing the pill and see if your problems
clear. If they do, the pill may not be for you.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
